I don't think you could ever win that argument but he was a great player.This is an easy choice for me at this stage..... give me Shaq in his prime arguably the best player to ever live.
Did I mess something up with the original order?
No, in the original list, before you set the draft order, HotelBlue was listed right after UKNorse. I mistakenly looked at that list when I tagged HotelBlue.
You may have. But I’m okay leaving it as is.Gotcha. I thought maybe I flip-flopped gossie and miracle7s when I was listing them by giving them the wrong number.

Nice pickTimmy Duncan please. @gossie21 OTC
I hate you.Timmy Duncan please. @gossie21 OTC
haha, sorry. I was pleased as Punch he was there at 10. He's easily a top 5-7 player I think by any metric.Seriously. I have a full page description of the reason I am picking Tim Duncan ready to post.
I disagree with that. But he may be as valuable as Magic, Bird, KAJ in this format.haha, sorry. I was pleased as Punch he was there at 10. He's easily a top 5-7 player I think by any metric.

My second choice after Timmy was the Dream Shake. Very similar players with excellent footwork on the block, Hakeem was a little better defensively. The Dream is an all-time top-20 scorer and rebounder, and the #1 all-time for blocks.
If Jordan would have gotten sidelined earlier for gambling I think Olajuwon would have a few more titles as well.

Nice pick, but how would he have done better if Jordan went down? Jordan was in the east and Hakeem never lost to the bulls.My second choice after Timmy was the Dream Shake.

Can I play Bird at PF or SF, or strictly SF in my lineup?
You could play Bird at PG or C if you like. It's all up to you and how you want to structure your roster.Can I play Bird at PF or SF, or strictly SF in my lineup?

It's interesting although not surprising that 6 of the top-11 picks so far are Centers (one F/C).
I want gonzo to go all laker starting five
For my purposes I hope the voters like the more mobile and multi-dimensional all-time centers. And I hope they like gifs.I agree, and it's why I was afraid I'd *have* to take LeBron at 2.
I assumed Kareem would go first. I absolutely wanted to go Center with my first pick and I've given Wilt too much grief over the years, plus I couldn't pass on LeBron because he's one of the 2-3 best players of all time.
I was afraid I'd be starting Jamal Magloire if I took LeBron, because historically, unless your team had Michael Jordan on it, a dominant center was the key to a dynasty.
We'll see if voters are swayed by the current small ball trend or if the giants still reign.

I was sure that either Duncan or Hakeem would fall to me, but nonetheless here I am. I think this is a point in the draft where we start to go down a tier. So my selection is one of the most underrated players in NBA history IMO, Moses Malone. Also I need a big to somewhat match up with everyone else lol.
@Pizza Slice youre OTC
I would defend Bill Russell as a top-5 NBA player all-time until my dying breath. But his stats suggest he was more of a rich man's Ben Wallace. Lots of titles tho.I think I'm higher on Hakeem than most, but I don't understand why others aren't. I'd take him over Bill Russell.

Yeap. People don’t value defense like they should. He was the best ever on D and obviously played winning basketball. He should be penalized slightly due to his offense, but not at the rate some here are.Eh, twice a champ in college, 5 time MVP in the league to go with all those titles. Ben Wallace? I’m all for trash talk but come on man.![]()
I think Malone fell Victim to playing in the same timeframe as the best big man of all time. Even if Kareem’s best years were before Moses really got going. He was overshadowed by Kareem and rightly so. Even with how great a player he was he really only gets the secondary praise.Good pick. I was curious how far he'd fall, because you're right, he's completely underrated somehow.
I generally will put Russell #3 all time. But if you compare their stats and just their stats they are similar players. Make an argument for him based on scoring, rebounds, shooting percentages. It's difficult to do.Eh, twice a champ in college, 5 time MVP in the league to go with all those titles. Ben Wallace? I’m all for trash talk but come on man.![]()
