And then spend the next week debating ad nauseum over who has the best overall team

Yea Im up for that. I don't start college till August and its not even July yet lol, so the only time Im not near the computer is when Im at the gym or sleeping.

My lineup so far:

Starters:

C: Shaquille Oneal
PF: Tim Duncan
SF: Scottie Pippen
SG: Clyde Drexler
PG: Gary Payton

Bench:

C: Patrick Ewing
PF:
SF: Lebron James
SG:
PG: Jerry West( combo guard, either spot really)


Not entirely set in stone, can maybe swap certain players depending on the matchup.

Im ok with 10 players but won't be on much today. Yardwork to do and stuff

I think at this stage it makes sense, as we've nearly done 8 rounds in,what, 2 days? Besides, it adds a greater degree of strategy to fill out your roster after picking the obvious Jordan/Wilt/Kareem/Magic/Bird/Shaq/Hakeem/Kobe etc etc picks.

That may well be the case - I'll discuss that with my HOF coach.

For my 8th pick, I'll go with another PG.

Chris Paul

He's still young, but he's proven himself to be one of the best already. He's led the NBA in steals 4 times already, he's the active assists per game leader currently (9.95 per), and he can score.

Kidd and Paul - I like it.

Okay for my round 8 I'm going with....

Solid defender and playmaker, plus in his prime everyone knew he was going to drive, but couldn't do **** about it.



1999-2000 = 26/7/5

Tragic what happened to Grant Hill with the injuries, he was primed for all-time greatness.

With my 8th round pick I am going with Paul Pierce. I wanted someone off my bench who can score and is a really good 3 point shooter.

Career stats-22.2ppg(21,410), 6.1rpg(5,847), 3.8apg(3,661), 1.5spg(1,429), 45% career fg%, 37% career 3point%(1,578 made), 80% career ft%, 1 time nba champion, 1 time finals mvp, 9 time all star, 1 time all nba second team and 3 times all nba third team.

My Team
PG-Oscar Robertson SG-Kobe Bryant SF-Rick Barry PF-Dirk Nowitzki C-Moses Malone
Bench(so far)-Isiah Thomas, Dikembe Mutumbo, Paul Pierce

[Greg1977]

Pierce, solid pick....

[little elmer]

I looked at PP and Hill myself.
