The underrated jab at Drexler with the 'we need someone who can dribble' was amazing.

Barkley had some funny lines, but I can't get over how much David Robinson gets overlooked

Tough to pick a team as the winner and I feel quite a few messed up their picks by not really putting a team together.

Personally I'd rule out the following teams either because they don't have the same balance as the others OR their top 3-4 players just don't matchup as well with the other teams


Quavo: Needs shooting badly
Inside the NBA: After their 1st pick they took everyone else too high when better options were available


Right in the middle
Dominique: Maybe it's just seeing all the names of guys who fell short (Ewing, Malone, Wilkins, Harden) that's putting me off


The battle for me is between
NBA on TNT: Probably the best balanced roster
Jerry West: There's a reason this man is so good at his job
According to sources: They messed up by wasting the wild card on Bosh, they should have gone for Draymond Green but still incredible on both ends
Sue Bird: Messed up by going AD over David Robinson. KG and Bird trash talking teams together would be amazing though
Hughley: Too many bigs, not enough wings. Should have used the 3rd pick on someone like Leonard or Pippen instead of McHale) that team would be insane defensively with Hakeem/Duncan/Pippen/Payton/Kidd and you still have the scoring with Dirk and Tmac

But I'm going to have to settle on team sources

The greatness of Jordan, Magic and Russell on the same team with the 2 way abilities of Leonard and shooters like Ray Allen and Lillard is too hard for me not to choose them. Especially since I don't see Jordan/Magic and Russell clashing as much as I see some of the other combinations for example Wilt, Kobe and Barkley

Can someone post all the teams?

Whoever came up with this deserves a raise and I hope they’re able to continue this type of thing in the future, not sure what it would look like though.

I preferred Jerry west’s team. Dude is a genius, would love to sit in a room with him and just talk hoop for hours.

All of us from the PC board are yelling at Ernie, "How can they draft without knowing what refs/rules year they're playing in?!"

It's hard for me to choose but I might go NBA on TNT, the one problem is you have Mr Cupcake in Durant and then you have Mr I refuse to go in the game in Pippen... I'm not sure they could last 2 years on a team with CP3.

According looks great but everyone pointing out they only have 1 big is important, I might have gone with them before being made aware of that. The greatest Center but you're going to need more than one big going against these guys.

Same thing with Sue, KG and Anthony only want to play PF and that doesn't become less of a demand facing the giants of the past. Although part of me thinks with KG and Bird on the same team they'd get other teams to quit mid game. 2 of the biggest and most successful trash talkers in history on the same team is just mean.

Can’t take Dominique, West & Quovo’s teams seriously with their first round picks.

Sue Bird & Shams teams are the best IMO.

I think Lebron & Magic compliment each other better than MJ & Magic.

Dominique picked himself with the first overall pick? That's silly.

All the teams obviously have great players but at first glance According to Sources and Sue Bird are the top 2 seeds here.

As others have said, team According to Sources and Sue Bird have far and away the 2 best teams.

This Quavo guy took Stephen Curry and Allen Iverson with his 2 1st picks... lol, no comments.

Dominique took himself with the 1st overall pick.

Obviously some people knew what they were doing, and knew just a little bit of NBA history too. Others, they simply know some of the big names, and seem to not know anything about NBA's history pre-70s too.

So hard to evaluate the guys I’ve never seen play. If I just go with guys I know then I like Hughleys team. Can’t get a better front court and his starting 5 would be simply incredible defensively. Plus love the Tmac pick. I’d have put him in the 75 over Davis personally.

I loved watching Dominique play, but him selecting himself as the best player of all time makes it really hard to take the rest of it seriously, what a joke. There is no universe where that should happen.

According to sources very strong with the Jordan-Magic-Russell core. Likewise for Sue Bird with LeBron-Bird-Garnett. Jerry West not bad but I probably wouldn't have taken Kobe over MJ, LeBron, Curry, Shaq, or Kareem as the first pick...but it's justifiable. Quavo could have been good but then he picks AI over Bird, Magic, Wilt...come on man.

Can someone explain the Chuck "He's gonna play half the games" joke in regards to Stockton...
Stockton barely missed any games in his career and was one of the most durable players in NBA history.


Side note: Sue Bird is gorgeous.

I think it's because Stockton is anti-vax and would be in a Kyrie type situation. Not that I really want this thread to go off on a vax tangent but that had to be what Chuck was talking about.
