I got me...



Back Court
While playing with Earl the Pearl, the duo of Frazier and Earl was known as the "Rolls Royce Backcourt"... This backcourt would have been known as the "Rolls Royce Limousine Backcourt"... When West was the age of 32 the all defense team was introduced, where he earned second team... He then went on to earn first team honors 4 straight years and Frazier was 7x 1st team all defense as well... West was a do all guard who will play SG when he's in with Frazier or move to the PG to give Frazier a breather... David Thompson will be the sub for Frazier so he'll get his minutes along side West, Tmac will sub in for West and play with Frazier so Frazier will have an extra spacer unless Thompson is on fire which the coach would just allow Thompson to play all the backup SG minutes...

Frazier (Career) - 18.9ppg 5.9rpg 6.1apg 1.9stls (Career highs 23.2ppg 7.3rpg 8.2apg)
West (Career) - 27ppg 5.8rpg 6.7apg 2.6stls (Career highs 31.3ppg 7.1rpg 9.7apg)
Thompson (Career) - 22.7ppg 4.1rpg 3.3apg 1stls (Career high 27.2ppg)
Tmac (Career) - 19.6ppg 5.6rpg 4.4apg 1.2stls (Career high 32.1ppg)

Small Forward
It's hard not to start a HOFer like Chris Mullin who can shoot the lights out, but when you have a defensive stopper like Kawhi Leonard that can light it up as well shit happens... The reigning DPOY, as well as a member of both 1st and 2nd all defensive teams will be up to the challenge of guarding Nique... Chris Mullin will come in to provide a scoring punch off the bench... A solid 1-2 combo, the contrast between the 2 will give me the option of going heavy offense or heavy defense, whichever the moment calls for...

Kawhi Career - 13ppg 6.2rpg 1.8stls .382 3pt% (Career high 2.3stls)
Chris Mullin - 18.2ppg 4.1rpg 3.5apg 1.6stls .384 3pt% (Career highs 26.5ppg several seasons .40+ 3pt%)

Bigs
Dirk is a very tough cover for any big... His guard like skill set made him the game changer that has now become the stretch 4... His ability to score inside and out makes him a dangerous offensive player that can never be left... His 7' frame and fadeaway shot makes it impossible to block and his 3pt shooting made him the tallest participant ever in the 3pt shooting contest... Zo will be the back up here... He can defend as well as score... His final 4 years after being sick hurt his overall numbers but still finished up with a solid 17.1ppg and 2.8bpg career average... Lanier a career 20/10 guy will have his hands full with Shaq but he and DPOY Marc Gasol, as well as 2x DPOY Zo will all get time on Shaq and will use all 15 fouls... And yes there will be plenty of hack-a-Shaq...

I think WLK has the more complete team, but I could see 500 pounding the ball inside and fouling out all of WLK's bigs.

500

 

[Mebert]

I think 500 owns the front court battle, although I think it is interesting that he went with the only FT shooter worse than Shaq as the back up. I like the build of WLK's backcourt a lot. But I think the versatility of his bench bigs make a big difference, they bring in a lot of different looks. I have wlk in a close one

How can you vote against WLK after reading this plus when 500 votes against himself. I vote WLK.

I've been known to be dumb

WLK

 

[UK Cowboy]

I think 500's dominant frontcourt edges WLK's strong squad. Besides Shaq and Timmy, 500 has Jerry Lucas in reserve

500 99
WLK 98

Congrats to WLK

Nos please vote in all games. You make us do it.

 

[Nosferatu]

This one honestly surprises me a bit. I got 500

 

[MilkSpiller22]

i guess i didn't vote in this one... since it doesn't matter, i will vote for 500, i am just a tim Duncan fan, and think he is the bees knees...
