EDIT I have a surprise pick. I don't think anyone will take him so I'm saving him for last.

Blah, someone I hoped to nab as an 11th or 12th man.

I also thought about having the all-time dirtiest duo in Bowen and Laimbeer.

Terrence Williams in the "He is awesome at everything" cat.
But then I reminded him that T.Will is still active so he couldn't be selected. Fats cried and cried. Once he calmed down, he said: "ok, ok. If that's the case, I'll take":
spencer haywood = mecca
Fats will dress this post up later with stats and shiznit.
He earned a championship ring with the Lakers in the 1979–80 season.
During the finals, Haywood was suspended by coach Paul Westhead. Haywood was so furious, he says he "left the Forum and drove off in my Rolls that night thinking one thought — that Westhead must die." Haywood hired a Detroit mobster to kill Westhead, but later reconsidered.[5]
fatlever wrote:simmons crushes spencer in his book calling him the "broken mirror", blaming him for the influx of high school, ruining the league etc... seems a bit harsh to me. before he got coked out (like half the league in the late 70s) haywood was the leagues best power forward. i can stick on my bench. if he behaves ive got myself a top 20 big man, if not, he can sit in a suit. it was worth a gamble at this point.
oh... and speaking of that triple OT game from 1976, its on NBAtv right now. game features cowens, jo jo white, havlicek, silas, westphal.
last night they showed the 1963 finals between the lakers and celtics. that game featured russell, cousey, baylor and west and havlicek as a rookie i think. there was absolutely no defense being played, at that was the finals. mostly guys running up the court making one pass and then a guy would pull up for a mid-range jumper. i can totally see how the league average in points was 118 points per game (at bad percentages). and no wonder guys like wilt could average ridiculous rebound numbers with that many shots going up and most of them jumpers. the few post ups were barely contested. i'd venture to say that the 2012 charlotte bobcats could beat the 1963 celtics by 50 points. i thought jerry west was the most impressive of the bunch. i'll give them this though, most of the guys could stick the mid range jumpers.
comparing this 1976 game vs that 1963 game its very obvious the difference in the quality of basketball with the 1976 looking much much closer to what we saw in the mid 80s.
