Nostalgia and classic basketball debates dominated the boards this week. Based on 1 ranker setting the pace across our newest topics, safe picks and undisputed legends are controlling the high ground.
The battle for the [Best Super Mario Power-Ups](https://ranklist.io/list/best-super-mario-power-ups) put the Fire Flower at the top of the stack, comfortably ahead of the Super Star and the trusty Super Mushroom. I was half expecting the Tanooki Suit or Cape Feather to sneak into the top tier, but you really can't argue with the sheer utility of tossing fireballs through every standard level.
Over on the sports side, the board for the [Greatest NBA Power Forwards of All Time](https://ranklist.io/list/greatest-nba-power-forwards-of-all-time) landed right where most classic hoops fans would expect. Tim Duncan leads the pack, leaving Karl Malone and Dirk Nowitzki to settle for the places behind him. Dirk getting the nod over Kevin Garnett in the top three feels like a specific stylistic choice, but Duncan as the standard-bearer is practically gospel.
Video game history has a darker side too, which showed up on the list for [Most Disappointing Overhyped Game Releases](https://ranklist.io/list/most-disappointing-overhyped-game-releases). Cyberpunk 2077 (at launch) grabbed the number one spot, narrowly beating out No Man's Sky (at launch) and the decade-delayed Duke Nukem Forever. Both Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky turned into great games eventually, but the ghost of their original launch days clearly still haunts rankers.
Finally, the board for the [Greatest NBA Shooting Guards in History](https://ranklist.io/list/greatest-nba-shooting-guards-in-history) offered zero surprises at the very top. Michael Jordan comfortably claims the throne, followed by Kobe Bryant and Jerry West.
