Release Date Countdown

Can't believe this hasn't been made yet (unless I'm missing it?), we've made this for years for now, here's the copy of the rules from last year:

For those who haven't played the game before, it's pretty simple. Post a picture of a player whose jersey number matches the number of days remaining until NBA Live '10's release, according to the above counter. One player per person, per day. In other words when there's 33 days left and somebody posts a picture of Scottie Pippen, you'll have to post Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird or another past or present player who wears (or wore) #33...so long as someone else hasn't already posted them. Remember: one player per person, per day. To help out sourcing jersey numbers for the current day, you might want to use this resource.

Also made a countdown (the release date is October 5th, so, it says 71 days, but couldn't find any picture with either McLemore, Naulls nor Wiesenhahn, so here are the 71' champions, Milwaukee Bucks:

No, you've got in first this year. No reason it hasn't been created until now except that we let it slip while we were waiting for the exact date to be revealed. Not that that's such a bad thing, it's kind of hard to start the countdown until you get down around the 55 day mark.

As you noted, pictures of those guys wearing #71 seem to be in short supply but here's McLemore's entry in the countdown anyway:

time and date says 70 days remaining so here it is, Dennis Rodman :

Since no one wore number 69 I go with the 1969 Finals MVP:

Milt Schoon

The '68 Boston Celtics:

Scot Pollard

A basketball card featuring Price Brookfield, another player to wear #66.

George Ratkovicz is the featured player for #65. This is going to be a lot easier in ten day's time.

1963 Boston Celtics.

The timer says 62 days so here is the return of Mr. Pollard

I think next year, we might start counting down from 55 days remaining.

1961 Boston Celtics.

I don't think I'll start posting here until there's 55 days left. Call dibs on Roy Hibbert. Jk

That's OK, there are enough 55s to go around (that we can actually find pictures of).

That's true, plenty other players around who wore/wear number 55. I don't really care if I post Roy Hibbert though, as this is more of an "early bird gets the word" kind of thing.

Alright, it's about to get easier.

Plenty of #55s to go around.

Well, I got Roy Hibbert.
