Want to see how a website looked at a certain period of time? Take a peak by using the search engine they have at Way Back Archive. Pretty interesting website IMO.

Cool website. I used it on JustBBall and NBA.com, both looked a lot different when they first started. Each year=less white space

Doesn't work for me. I searched justbball, then JustBBall, and this is what popped up:

^ Put in Justbball.com. It worked for me.

I love that site.

The fun thing to look at are the old nbadraft.net mocks where guys like Loren Woods and Mustafa Shakur are top picks.

Example:

#4 - Kelvin Torbert

That guy had such great potential, but he blew out his knees, and his entire game before that was pretty much all based on his freak athleticism and explosiveness.

Now look at what he's amounted to, a summer league role player for the Knicks -

I liked the old layout from 03-04.

That 2005 layout was badass for the Blog.

Why was there like 10 comments for every blog, and now most of the blogs would be lucky to get 1. lol

Can you believe NBAdraft.net put Chris Duhon over Kirk Hinrich that one year? Duhon #6 and Hinrich at #36, holy crap what a bunch of dumbasses.

That's the thing I never liked about that site. They're reactionary.

They had both Andrew Bogut and Deron Williams in the late first round at one point. They're never good enough to scout these guys ahead of time. They just react to what guys like Chad Ford say, after the fact.

Best layout ever: http://web.archive.org/web/20040613090305/...all.com/forums/

Best front page ever: http://web.archive.org/web/20050403202907/....justbball.com/

God I miss those days.

Their analysis on foreign players in general is usually unreliable. For instance much of their insight on Giorgos Printezis is terrible.

Wow, the February 13, 2003 layout looks quite...white.
