<html>By Jessica Derschowitz / CBS News/ September 16, 2013, 8:20 AM Bill Nye "in it to win it" on "Dancing with the Stars" "Science Guy" Bill Nye and partner Tyne Stecklein on "Dancing with the Stars." / ABC Bill Nye is ready to bust a move on "Dancing with the Stars." The "Science Guy" is of competitors on ABC dancing competition, facing off against the likes of Valerie Harper,[http://42.121.124.237/wiki/index.php/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Eipaddbb2#Reaction_to_Arlington_bus Reaction to Arlington bus], Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Keyshawn Johnson and Leah Remini. So, is he nervous about putting on his dancing shoes on live TV? "There's nervous, and then there's this other level,[http://www.chihuoms.com/plus/view.php?aid=189775 Abidal- Barcelona’s Dani Alves offered to d], which, I think we would go with terrified," he told CBSNews.com.

12 Photos"Dancing with the Stars" season 17The 57-year-old TV personality also said his rehearsals with professional partner Tyne Stecklein have been "exhausting." "I watch myself on video, I'm so bad. It's extraordinary," he added. "The guy has such horrible posture, he's so pigeon-toed -- how can he even move around on the Earth? He's so uncoordinated." But he's got a good partner in Stecklein, who is new to the competition this season. "She is an expert at this business," Nye said. "It is just weird to me, as an educator, how good she is -- what needs to be fixed, remembering it, encouraging you, being firm but fair and all that,[http://elsafwoa.eb2a.com/vb/showthread.php?p=31616#post31616 Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Cleans Up at 2013 Primetime Emmys], and she's just a world-class athlete." Despite those nerves (I'm extraordinarily nervous," he admitted, "But in the theatre [said in a British accent], they would say if you stop being nervous, stop doing it"), Nye is ready to cha-cha -- the style he'll be dancing during Monday night's premiere -- waltz, tango, and foxtrot his way to the mirrorball trophy. "I'm in it to win it, people!" he declared. Nye does have a bit of a dance background. "I love swing dancing," he said. "And there's a dance called the jive, which is sort of the international interpretation of swing. So I think there should be some transferable skills. I'm just hoping against hope that there are skills that can be transferred." But he's also been sizing up his competition: "I mean, there's Corbin Bleu! He's a professional dancer. Keyshawn Johnson's a professional athlete. Elizabeth Berkley is statuesque and has quite a bit of dance experience," he said. "I'm in a tough league." Comedian Bill Engvall "may come out of nowhere -- he's been on stage forever, he's funny, he's engaging. Amber [Riley], I mean, these people are professional entertainers!" he added. And as for Snooki, "People might have a certain expectation about Snooki and her attitude to this thing...[But] she's motivated." Nye's motivated, too,[http://wwww.zhuntao.com/a/diannao_shangwang/QQdaquan/20111030/2996.html When Media Companies Try to Become Education Compa], and hopes his presence on the show will raise awareness about science - his and Stickland's team name is "Hot Knowledge," he said,[http://midi-pyrenees.partipirate.org/wiki/index.php/Utilisateur:Vtrquiin1#NFL_roundup-_Reid_wins_home_opener_in_K.C. NFL roundup- Reid wins home opener in K.C.], and he'll even have the logo for on his costume -- along with another Bill Nye ensemble staple: "There will be a lot of bow-ties!"

Top 100 problems: Ranking Omer Asik versus Monta Ellis is no easy task. (Gary Dineen/Getty Images)

+

The impulse of comparison is encouraged by the very nature of sports. One team bests its opponent. One player dominates a matchup. One teammate overtakes another on the depth chart. Games and leagues are built on that engine of relativity, and the NBA is no exception.

+

It s in that spirit that The Point Forward offered an endeavor to identify and order the best players in basketball this coming season. The scope of our ranking is relatively simple (no weight is given to long-term development,[http://o0mcz0o.summerhost.info/forum/showthread.php?p=12495#post12495 Gunman kills ‘several’ at US navy yard in Washington], and as little emphasis as possible was placed on team context), but there is nonetheless a daunting complication inherent to the exercise itself. Put simply: While we made a considered effort to somehow compare an incredible assortment of NBA talent,[http://zhhwdx.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=19930 MIAMI- Ingrid makes landfall on Mexico's coast, weakens], there s little grounds to suggest that players can be assigned any kind of absolute basketball value.

+

That,[http://www.tulife.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=114736&fromuid=13814 Actor Billy Connolly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, undergoes surgery], in a word, is a doozy.

+

On the one hand, the decision to divorce players from their real-life team settings is essential in a project of this nature. No player ought be penalized for landing on the wrong team, just as no lesser contributor should be promoted merely for filling an ideal role. Players need to be evaluated individually to whatever extent such a thing is possible, and to that end the disregard of team factors helps us inch closer to some measure of objective quality.

+

Yet at the same time, basketball players are almost unavoidably subject to context. There are certain luminaries for which being a fit is a non-issue an elite class of flexible superstars that would work in most every system and would mesh with most any roster. They are the extreme minority and run maybe three deep. The overwhelming majority, meanwhile, need specific factors in place in order to maximize their on-court value: a particular number of touches, a certain magnitude of a role, a customized set of responsibilities. Some players are inevitably more pliable than others when it comes to compromising on those needs, but that in itself creates problems for defining player value across the board. How does one accurately measure player worth when every individual s value is so deeply conditional?

+

Making that determination inevitably becomes a matter of taste, as we don t otherwise have the means to make sense of such disparate items. It s hard enough comparing vastly different players at entirely different positions say, Omer Asik and Monta Ellis but another matter entirely given that both players have unique prerequisites to their effectiveness. If Asik is the defensive balance to offense-first lineups as he was in Houston last season, his strengths can be accentuated while his weaknesses are disguised. If not, he s a lesser player, relatively, on the grounds that his lack of offensive skill can so severely cramp his team s scoring operations.

+

An entirely different set of concerns are in play with Ellis, who very much needs helpful defenders,[http://tribemain.tribecomics.com/ Road Warrior Travel Tips- Arrange for a Taxi Before Arriving, Jeremy Wall of JP Wall], spot shooters, and supporting playmakers in order to get the most out of his own game. When all of that is in place, Ellis can be a legitimate weapon. Without it, he can grind even a quality team into mediocrity with his inefficiency and unchecked domination of the ball.

+

Such factors define the range between a player s ceiling and floor, though without necessarily addressing the probability that either is actually met.?How does one place Tyson Chandler without knowing if he ll have a solid point guard to make use of his game-changing offensive potential? Or rank Rajon Rondo without understanding how likely he is to have the supporting scorers he so desperately needs? And in contrast, where does this line of thinking leave Kawhi Leonard an outstanding role player who could fit most any team, albeit without contributing at so lofty a level?

+

Certain players are indisputably more challenging to build around than others,[http://linux.24hr.se/w/index.php/Anv%C3%A4ndare:Mbqiigfhz1#Jets_release_Robert_Malone.2C_sign_Ryan_Quigley Jets release Robert Malone, sign Ryan Quigley], and in some way that distinction should be taken into account in a ranking like this one. There s just no clean, satisfying way to do so, and thus no perfect fashion to consider each player on his own merits. That doesn t diminish the value of these results or the process behind them. It s simply important to note that a player s worth shifts dramatically with his surroundings, and with that comes an unavoidable imbalance to any and every comparative ranking of this kind.
