So I can pick one All NBA season per pair, or one player who has ever made an All NBA team per pair?

Here to pick. Have to do some research, but I do need to know whether we’re referring to All-NBA season or player

You can only select one all-nba player who made the first team per pair in any point of their career. Example-paul arizin who made all nba first team and for your second player-you can select all nba second team, third team, or none, but NOT all-nba first team.

Hope that makes sense. I have updated the rules to reflect this.

I swear I get a top 4 pick like once every 20 drafts.

How much research do you need? It's the first pick.

One more question: how are we defining the decade? 69-70 to 78-79, or 70-71 to 79-80?

Damn it feels good to have 16 again. We're back.

Maybe it's because I have #3 but I see a top three tier in this game.

That means two different things.

I agree with Laimbeer that historically, we have always used 59/60 to 68/69, 69/70 to 78/79, etc. as the decades.

Come on Dantley. Decades and years have always worked the same way.

No idea why any of this is so hard.

Well, it’s the first pick, and the rules always change and there were a lot of options.

I have reached a decision.

I went through so many friggin' options in my head there. That was a lot harder than I originally thought it would be.

Indeed. Went through eight Jordan scenarios, five Wilt scenarios and more. It’ll be much easier in the middle of the draft.
