As my draft is over, it is pat myself on the back draft brag time:
1. Tim "UTEP 2-Step" Hardaway Sr - (PG)
2. Ray "Sugar Ray" Allen - (SG)
3. Julius "Dr. J" Erving - (SF)
4. Willis "The Captain" Reed - (PF)
5. Shaquille "Shaq" O'Neal - (C)
1. Maurice "Mo" Cheeks - (PG)
2. Alvin "The Domestic Discipliner" Robertson - (SG)
3. Antawn "Cochroach" Jamison (SF)
4. Robert "Big Shot Rob" Horry (PF)
5. Walt "Bells" Bellamy (C)
Nobody will be able to compete with Willis and Shaq down low. They will have to be doubled. But how can you do that with Sugar Ray parked at the 3point line, and Dr. J driving the rim? My bench is built for need, mainly defense. Mo Cheeks and Alvin are 2 of the best ever at those positions. Alvin may be the best defensive 2 guard ever. Got him specifically for Kobe and Jordan. Horry and Jamison will help with "stretch" teams - and they are both big time shooters. With Bellamy, I am basically guaranteed to have 2 HOF 7 footers on the floor anytime I want.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner???
Fun draft guys. Thanks Nos and Ritz.
Idk, a little bitter over here. (Especially since I actually tried to get him to take Joe D.)
These last two guys will be important for you, your team blows so far. Who's gonna score?![]()
Alonzo Mourning, Tim Duncan, Mark Eaton will be able to handle themselves quite nicely... And you are toast when I bring in McAdoo... My overall defense is devistating...
Jerry West
Michael Cooper DPOY
Bruce Bowen
Tim Duncan
Alonzo Mouring 2x DPOY
Mark Eaton 2x DPOY
Bob McAdoo
Ron Artest DPOY
Dan Majerle
Lenny Wilkens
The All-Defensive Teams are too much to add up, but I will when I'm done picking...![]()

Lol. Well, other than the best pure shooter the NBA has ever seen, 2 7 footers who cannot be stopped, and a guy named Dr. J - I'm not sure.![]()
I think its funny you guys think defenses have a chance in this. Why do you think all star games are 150 - 140 when the offensive skill level goes up like it is with these teams defenses have no chance, this isnt football!
Yeah, you need to be at least good in D but you really dont need elite D.FWIW if you're not in the top 10 in the NBA in D efficiency you're not winning the title. Heat were 12th this year.

Ill probably look at the 5 main matchups as 50% of my grade. Next 3 players in the rotation as 15%. Rest of the bench 5%. Best overall player 10%. Spacing 10%. Nerd Stats 10%.
I mean they also don't try in all-star games Nos lol. I agree overall that offense will win over defense in this but that's not really the argument to use. FWIW if you're not in the top 10 in the NBA in D efficiency you're not winning the title. Heat were 12th this year.
I know they dont try but with the offensive weapons we have this is gonna be an up and down the court score fest. My team will have harlem globetrotter music playing when we are on the court!
