This wraps up my in-person graphing for the regular season (2015-16). Don't worry folks, I'm not done yet. I'll be going to a couple of post-season games if not more, and there will be more posts for you to devour. Since the regular season is done, I'll take a moment or two of your time to highlight some of the best items I've gotten this year, and some of the worst experiences as well. Without further ado: Top 10 Best Signatures This award is not based on the quality of the signature alone; it factors in the player's star power, personality (nice or not), and my own personal opinions of said player. Luck plays a significant role in this as well; some names are not "big" names but I considered myself lucky I got him, given the circumstances of the encounter. This is also my blog and awards list, so anything goes. 1. Stephen Curry (GSW) 2. Kevin Durant (OKC) 3. John Wall (WAS) 4. Chris Paul (LAC) 5. Damian Lillard (POR) 6. Serge Ibaka (OKC) 7. Marc Gasol (MEM) 8. Nikola Vucevic (ORL) 9. Zach LaVine (MIN) 10. Chandler Parsons (DAL)
This award is based solely on the appearance and quality of the signature; it does not take into consideration any individual factor of the player. 1. Nemanja Bjelica (MIN) 2. Kevin Martin (SAS) 3. Marreese Speights (GSW) 4. Ramon Sessions (WAS) 5. Gorgui Dieng (MIN) 6. Jeff Green (LAC) 7. Channing Frye (ORL) 8. C.J. Watson (ORL) 9. DeAndre Jordan (LAC) 10. Zach LaVine (MIN) Coolest SignaturesThis award goes to the players whose signatures just flat out look cool or were very neatly penned. All signatures were obtained at the game (no paid signings/"sit-downs"). 1. Damian Lillard (POR) 2. Stephen Curry (GSW) 3. Nick Collison (OKC) 4. Cameron Payne (OKC) 5. John Wall (WAS) 6. Serge Ibaka (OKC) Nicest EncountersThese players/coaches were the nicest people I've interacted with this season. The award is based on one or more encounters, most often just a single encounter. Your experience may vary. 1. Stephen Curry (GSW) 2. Kevin Durant (OKC) 3. Nikola Vucevic (ORL) 4. Nick Collison (OKC) 5. Mario Elie (ORL) Worst Encounters These players are talented on the court and may have a good personality/rapport with the press, but they intentionally didn't sign for me despite signing for others directly around me. I am still a fan of them (except maybe Austin Rivers) and will be attempting them next season, in which hopefully they will not show up on this list again. 1. Austin Rivers (LAC) 2. Derrick Rose (CHI) 3. Jimmy Butler (CHI) Top 12 Current NBA Personalities I Want to Meet1. LeBron James
2. Dirk Nowitzki 3. Derrick Rose 4. Tim Duncan 5. Jason Kidd 6. Dwyane Wade 7. DeMarcus Cousins 8. Blake Griffin 9. Russell Westbrook 10. Jimmy Butler 11. Kevin Love 12. Kyrie Irving
