A few things to rememember:

ABBABAABAB draft

ABA and NBA players are eligible

1 year peaks

5 starters must be from 5 different decades

Warspite · Post #2 » by **Warspite** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 9:55 am

Im truely honored and excited to select

THE GOAT player in his GOAT yr

1966-67 81 games 45.5mpg 9.7FG 14.2FGA .683FG% .441FT% 24.2RPG 7.8APG 24.1PPG MVP

Wilt put it all together this yr. Nearly 70%FG 8apg and still a dominate rebounder. The guy had a quad double on the Celtics and Bill Russell in the 5th game of the ECF.

SamBone · Post #3 » by **SamBone** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 3:02 pm

well it is hard to believe that picking #2 leaves me settling for someone I ws not crazy about drafting (no knock on my guy, I just really wanted Wilt)

But the Boned Samuels select the greatest player we have ever seen play and go with .....
Michael Jordan
not sure of which year (decade) yet depends on the rest ot the draft.

Post #4 » by **Miller4ever** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 7:03 pm

I'm taking the guy that would go #1 in any competition without decades stipulation. 1975-1976 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He averaged 27.7 points per game, grabbed 16.9 rebounds, dished out 5 assists, pickpocketed 1.5 times a game and swatted 4.1 shots out of the air.

At this stage he is 28 years old and in his prime. He has won a championship and several MVP awards, and is a perfect compliment on any team with his blend of unselfishness and takeover ability.

Post #5 » by **TMACFORMVP** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 8:11 pm

I'm going Hakeem Olajuwon.

We're not sold he was the best player on the board, but we feel he's the best in terms of building a franchise. With there being sixteen teams, both the first and second tier of big man would be gone before our pick in the second round. That would force us to reach on a pick whom we wouldn't like, as we have a late third round pick as well. Olajuwon provides an elite anchor on both ends of the floor, his one year peak consisting of accolades such as the All-NBA First Team, All-NBA Defensive First team, and a mini-scule NBA Finals MVP, a regular season Most Valuable Player Award, all while winning the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year. That all goes without mentioning, he was an NBA champion leading an undermanned Houston Rockets team to an NBA Championship.

Baller 24 · Post #6 » by **Baller 24** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 8:54 pm

With the 5th pick, I select:

the Greatest Winner in all of sports, the Ultimate Team player, arguably the Greatest of All-Time Defensive Anchor......

William Felton Russell

Season:1961-1962
(MPG/FG%/FT%/REB/AST/PTS)

Code: Select all

45.2 .457 .595 23.6 4.5 18.9

Playoffs:1961-1962
(FG%/FT%/MPG/PTS/REB/AST)

Code: Select all

.458 .726 48.0 22.4 26.4 5.0

Awards: NBA Champion, NBA MVP

^^Stats are out of order.

All In The Name · Post #8 » by **All In The Name** » Sun Jan 31, 2010 3:01 am

I'll give CellarDoor until tomorrow morning to make a pick. After that, I'm instituting a clock. Probably something in the 6-8 hour range.

Post #9 » by **Snakebites** » Sun Jan 31, 2010 5:30 am

Well this is certainly disappointing.

Ah well, tomorrow is another day, I guess.

All In The Name · Post #10 » by **All In The Name** » Sun Jan 31, 2010 5:56 pm

Cellar, where art thou?

With help from some other posters, CellarDoor selects Larry Bird. Best player on the board, can make a great case for best peak, and notably one of CellarDoor's highest ranked players for this sort of thing.

As for me, I'll take 1999-00 Shaquille O'Neal.

Shaq was unstoppable that season. A guy that talented and that motivated was downright frightening for opposing centers.

MVP, Finals MVP, All-NBA (1st), All-Defensive (2nd)

Regular Season: 29.7 PPG, 13.6 RPG, 3.8 APG, 3.0 BPG, 0.5 SPG, 57.4 FG%

Playoffs: 30.7 PPG, 15.4 RPG, 3.1 APG, 2.4 BPG, 0.6 SPG, 56.6 FG%

Pancakes3, if you would've rather taken someone else, you can still do so, but you must act quickly.

pancakes3 · Post #13 » by **pancakes3** » Mon Feb 1, 2010 3:25 am

i might be out-thinking myself but i'm going to go against my better judgement, and All-in-the-name's better judgement, i'll go with

1982 Moses Malone

31.1 ppg, 14.7 rpg, 1.8apg 0.9spg 1.5 bpg on 51.9% shooting, and an impressive 76.2% FT shooting on 10.2 FTA

BlackIce · Post #14 » by **BlackIce** » Mon Feb 1, 2010 3:28 am

If thats the case I think its safe to give bastillon Magic then, I think its obvious but I may be in the wrong in which case we should continue to wait.

Edit - Nevermind

All In The Name · Post #15 » by **All In The Name** » Mon Feb 1, 2010 3:28 am

Well, that makes things easier. Per a list, bastillon takes Magic.

Ugh, supply pics, people.

Makes things so much nicer:

Myth_Breaker · Post #17 » by **Myth_Breaker** » Mon Feb 1, 2010 8:41 am

I am taking 6-11-7-0*, 260 PF/C out of Wake Forest - Tim Duncan!

His 2002/03 season: 23,3 PPG on .513/.273/.710 shooting/12,9 RPG/3,9 APG/2,9 BPG/0,7 SPG.
All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team, season MVP, Finals MVP, NBA champion. Any questions? ;-)

*He was listed at both 6-11 and 7-0 in his career.

Post #18 » by **Snakebites** » Mon Feb 1, 2010 8:45 am

From list received, bryant08 is proud to select:

Julius Erving

Bruh Man · Post #19 » by **Bruh Man** » Mon Feb 1, 2010 9:43 am

Oscar Robertson, 1961-1962 season

He averaged an amazing 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists while shooting 47.8% from the field and 80.3% from the free throw line.

pancakes3 · Post #20 » by **pancakes3** » Mon Feb 1, 2010 4:40 pm

is there a set time that we all can agree on so that this won't drag on forever? say, 10pm eastern?
