NOS by a hair.

I think the incredible backcourts wash, I lean my way at SF just slightly, and a solid edge in the post. Like my bench slightly better. 24-20 UK

 

[Ritzarmy]

It would be extremely close. I think Nos has the better offense but UK better defense. When it comes down to bench I lean towards UK's being slightly better.
UK - 21
Nos- 19

 

[Nosferatu]

Id love to hear people reasoning for their vote.

UK rules Nos drools???

I got UK. Nos' bench makes no sense to me to have 2 shooters but no big guy. Anthony Davis is the weakest player on the field(only due to career length) but Nate Thurmond is not an offensive guy so the advantage is so minimal.

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't think the backcourts wash I think Magic is the best player on the court but Oscar and Kobe together are better than Magic and Dwade. I love Gervin but Connie is bigger and would be hard for George to post up, Thurmond was Davis before Davis was born, excellent players both. I love Moses but he's not pushing Gilmore around.

I like Steph on the bench but I got Zeke and Maravich for instant offense.

I could rotate in Zeke and slide O to the 2 Kobe to the 3 and Connie to the 4 and play small ball if needed.

His D is better? DUMB!

 

[Pack 500]

I agree with what UK said. Wash in the backcourt and I like his front court a little more.

 

[Nosferatu]

I got UK. Nos' bench makes no sense to me to have 2 shooters but no big guy. Anthony Davis is the weakest player on the field(only due to career length) but Nate Thurmond is not an offensive guy so the advantage is so minimal.

I don't need a big guy on the bench I can rotate, ugh. Yeah Nates not an offensive guy averaged 20+ 5 straight years.

 

[Nosferatu]

I knew the name "Magic" would be too much to overcome. I loved this idea but knew i'd lose because of Magic and because my team strength was my PG's cant use them all in this format. Good job UK...

Or... I could sub Steph in for Gervin, and let Magic slide down and post up any PG, SG or SF you have.....

But those 20+ points were in cake eating. He is a fictitious basketball player and you know it!!!

It's not over....I'd say after a tie vote and looking at the matchups, it couldn't get much closer. I do know when I had Oscar last time, he wasn't considered as highly as Magic, and I do think Moses is better than Artis(who I also had lol)

Better defense? Bro.

Magic has 3 inches on Kobe i'll take my chances. Gilmore has 4 inches and 30 pounds on Moses i'll take my chances there too

 

[Ritzarmy]

Better defense? Bro.

I also said Peja>Baylor in the last NBA draft so why does my statement shock you?
