A lot of good choices available but this will be fun to build around and no one can argue that they can't fit together...

Give me Kobe Bryant.

Extremely difficult choice to make here. So many picks I'd feel really good about here, but I don't think I can pass this one. Gives me a god-awesome offense while also having the flexibility to do some other things with it.

Oh, and he also gives me the option of being totally done with the 80s.

I was really torn here. Contemplated trying out the hoarding strategy but thought it might be a little hard to pull off with the era restrictions. Lots of good guys still on the board but I LOVE the fit of these two. So give me...

Reggie Miller

Well, I was between Stockton, Miller and another guy, so that makes my decision really easy.

NEVERMIND. Sorry Pelifan :-?

I'll take Draymond Green.
