[Baller 24]

If you think you can't be there to make your pick please email me, or IM me AIM at nsjx89 or PM Penbeast0 or trueLAfan please.

Rules:

Players that you select will be in their prime, but they must have 5+ seasons of NON-CONSECUTIVE and AT LEAST 50 GAMES played, so for example if you take Grant Hill, he will be the Grant Hill in Detroit who played from 1994-2000 averaging somewhere around 20pts-7ast-7reb.

Bill Walton and Yao Ming are allowed even though both have faced injury problems. Yao his past 3 years of course, and Walton, well we know what happened to him. But as long as we have seen consistent play from each player after injury theren its alright. Like Yao, we've seen every year injury after injury everything is fine.

Players like Chris Paul, Deron Williams, etc. cannot be chosen because they did not play 5+ consecutive seasons.

SG Michael Jordan

[Baller 24]

Can a mod please sticky this?

[penbeast0]

Starting this with no advance warning and short windows and all is a bit rough. Myth I know lives in a timezone where this is the middle of the night. Can we delay the start of this to tomorrow or next Friday or something? (that way people can pick early/mail lists/etc. and no one gets screwed over)

Sure sounds fine to me! I'll email everyone that put down their email.

[jeahwe]

I'm sure Myth will choose Chamberlain

[penbeast0]

I'm not and please dont mention the names of unpicked players in either thread . . . even if you think it is obvious.

[mudyez]

yeah, we may have to delay it at least one ore two days, but if someone is up with its pick, it would be great if they wouldnt wait...so maybe we can gain a round or so!

[Myth_Breaker]

With the 2nd pick in the current RealGM All-Time Draft:

Yes, jeahwe: I did this. I'm guilty as hell. Thanks, Pen: fortunately Ireturned home in the middle of the night, so instead of trying to get some sleep, I decided that RealGM drug is better for my health.

And I remind my e-mail:

wrobel5447@wp.pl

EDIT: I figured out that everybody knows about Wilt - one of the few best GOAT candidates, selected as GOAT e.g. in this thread:

[penbeast0]

The Dallas Mavericks take Oscar Robertson

[TMACFORMVP]

Follow up on the Hakeem pick.

Well first off, he's a Rocket

And second, I assumed I wouldn't get either Bird/Magic so it came down to Hakeem or Shaq and in the end I think I had to go Hakeem. Shaq in his prime was the more dominant offensive player, but Hakeem was at least comparable on that end of the floor but a much more versatile and active defender (ESPECIALLY on the pick and roll). Not to mention Hack-A-Hakeem can't really be used, so I think he'd be a more efficient player overall.

Welcome to Golden State Hakeem!

[zong]

Tim Duncan, out of Wake Forest University!
