Plus, my team pretty much consists of players from the modern era who are bigger, stronger, faster. I just don't think players from the 40's and 50's could match up. For example, Mikan would be considered a PF in the modern game. He averaged 40% fg as the biggest guy in the league!

on that era, its above average. He was dominant at his peak, the best player in the L. The same way when Shaq was dominant player in early 00.

Maybe 50 years from now people will say "Shaq would be considered as PF in the modern game.. He averaged 55% fg as the biggest guy in the league !! look at Mirjalovic III,at 7'7 he can run 8 seconds per 100m, shoting at 70%. 50% from 3, lol at shaq, can't shot at all, and now the court is bigger than ever, "

and Wilt will be laugh his ass off today looking at Howard's rpg.

Mirjalovic III

[EArl]

Mirja is getting a little bit ahead of himself.

[ROballer]

I think it's doable

He needs to knock up one of momma Zeller,Plumlee or Gasol to ensure that Mirjalovic II is a 7 footer...assuming they can still get pregnant but I think he'll get lucky and score with at least one

Later Mirjalovic II needs to knock up an up and coming female basketball prodigy...I think in 20 ish years ,we'll have a 6'9 monster female who can play with men in today's game

=>Mirjalovic III

its primitive way. in the future human engineering will be good

I didn't want to be the guy who pointed it out lol

[DAX17]

Lol my bad, didn't read that part

[DAX17]

So the era in which someone played doesn't factor in this thing? It's a game where size, speed, athleticism play a huge factor in the outcome of games.
I guess a Model T can hang with a Ferrari any day right? Lol

so why didn't you just load up with a bunch of current scrubs on the team? they are active right now surely they have the physical advantage of someone who played 10 years ago

[DAX17]

There are some players who are physically gifted and skilled enough to play in any era. I'm not saying just because you play now you're automatically better. But if you're skilled, have the mental toughness, and iq, and then on top of all that athletically and physically greater, then you have the advantage.

This has slowed down so much. Can we start assigning coaches to those who don't pick within the time limit. Or skip them and just let them pick when they finally arrive?

Post on the other thread.

[EArl]

We will begin voting no later than Sunday.
Ill do my thing later today.

[EArl]

Voting has begun.
Go here to vote.

Is it just us who's voting, or everyone? The voting process seems a bit extreme. Ranking 1-12 for like 5 categories might take more effort than most put into actually drafting their teams

[dockingsched]

haha, im actually thinking about skipping the voting cause god damn thats a lot of work.

i say we do like a playoff bracket style, make it a lot easier.

Round 1:

team 1 vs team 2 vs team 3
team 4 vs team 5 vs team 6

team 7 vs team 8 vs team 9
team 10 vs team 11 vs team 12

in this round earl posts a thread for each of the 4 matchups, in each thread voters just need to rank the teams 1-3. for each matchup the top 2 teams advance giving us 8 teams in round 2. In round two its traditional 1 vs 1 playoff style til we get a winner. seed the teams randomly to start off and to start round 2. way easier to get people that didn't play to vote, which is better than making it just us 12 voting.

[EArl]

Theres only five categories. you guys are lazy as ****.
I'm the one doing the scoring.

You can literally finish the voting in five minutes.
Ill scrap intangibles to make four categories.
