Power ranking responses to NBA Power Rankings

1. Read the article and engage with the writer/article/your community in a respectful and informed manner

There’s a lot to this, but there’s a reason it’s number one on my power rankings. In The Office, this was called a Win Win Win. Everyone benefits, and experiences are better when they’re shared.

First off, you get something out of it. You get to have a personal interaction about something that matters to you. It’s not just leaving your thoughts out in the open and hoping someone relates, this can be an ongoing conversation.

Also, it invites a more expanded array of opinions than just one or two people. Diversity of thought is essential. You may have learned something from the article, but you might find there’s more to learn from someone else.

Then there’s the community aspect. NBA Power rankings can be fun. Discussing where teams or people lie is enjoyable too. Maybe a consensus can be reached. Or maybe not and you just get to talk with people you like for a while. There’s no real downside.

Finally, the writer benefits as well. They get to see where they can improve or where people most find their thoughts most compelling. I’m biased, but I find this kind of thing immensely valuable. Reading an article doesn’t need to lend itself to your altruism, but it’s great when it does.

This is my list. Feel free to disagree. I may have missed some things or overemphasized some others, but I did my best. Maybe there’s another NBA Power Rankings response power ranking that better matches your own. Feel free to let me know.
