All-Time NBA Draft (not just international)

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Why?? Like mr hair said its a long way from the start of the season. Enjoy it.

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

This guy went #2 in last year's draft. Why? Because he could be argued the greatest basketball player ever, is perhaps the biggest athletic freak of all-time on the hardwood, and was as skilled a big guy as one's ever seen.

At 7'1" (a legit 7'1" mind you), and anywhere from 275-310 pounds of pure muscle during his career...ladies and gentleman...

WILT CHAMBERLAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some paragraphs from nba.com to show you just how mythologically scary this guy was.

"An incident recounted in the Philadelphia Daily News involving Tom Meschery of the Seattle SuperSonics illustrated what it was like to play in the trenches against Chamberlain. Meschery had the ball in the line and put up four fakes before attempting his shot. Chamberlain slapped the ball down. Meschery got it again, faked again, and got it blocked again. Enraged and frustrated, the Seattle player ran up to Chamberlain swinging. As if in a scene from The Three Stooges, Chamberlain put his hand on the 6-6 Meschery's head and let him swing away harmlessly. After the third swing, Chamberlain said, "That's enough," and Meschery stopped.

Chamberlain's power was legendary. Rod Thorn, who has been a player, coach, GM and NBA executive, remembers a fight in which Chamberlain reached down and picked up a fellow player from a pile of bodies as if he were made of feathers. The man was 6-8 and weighed 220 pounds.

Chamberlain was one of the few players of his day who had the sheer strength to block a dunk. In a game against New York in 1968, Walt Bellamy, the Knicks' 6-11, 245-pound center, attempted to dunk on Chamberlain. "Bellamy reared back," one spectator who was there later recalled to the Philadelphia Daily News, "and was slamming the ball down when Wilt put his hand above the top of the rim and knocked the ball off the court. He almost knocked Bellamy off the court, too."

Now, some of that may seem like hyperbole to you. Exaggerated romanticism. Really? Here are just some of his accomplishments to show you how scary he was.

Accomplishments
*Career Stats: 30.1 ppg, 22.9 rpg, 4.4 apg...NEVER FOULED OUT OF A GAME...EVER!!!
*Single-season record 50.4 points per game average in 1961-62 season
*Single-season record 48.5 minutes played per game in 1961-62 season
*Only player to score 4,000 points in a season
*Retired as all-time points leader
*All-time rebounding leader with 23,924
*Highest field goal percentage in a season: 72.7%
*Highest rookie scoring average: 37.6 points per game
*Led league in scoring seven years in a row
*NBA assists leader in 1967-68 season (He was this versatile)
*Single-game record with 100 points...nobody has come close
*Single-game record for consecutive field goals: 18
*Single-game record for most rebounds: 55

And that's just a tiny fraction of all his records. He was scary.

Speaks for itself. 100 points in a game. No one's come close.

Silly athleticism. This guy was a legit 7'1", could jump like a freak and was strong as an oxe. Look at those hops for a big man.

Oscar-award winning performance in Conan the Destroyer...he ended up being disqualified but most critics say it was the greatest performance in film history.

Banged all six of these chicks...in one night. 19,994 other conquests littered his fine resume.


Kids, this guy is the Babe Ruth of basketball. And I just got him at the #7 pick.

Good write up too. I was worried that you were not going to mention the 20,000 banged bitches..... i should have never feared.... wes mantooth was here

 

[Coach Ellis]

Great picks so far. I'm very interested to see how each team is built through this process. Very interested indeed.

 

[fishonjazz]

So far duncan is the only one who i think should still be on the board..... but there is one dude that im AMAZED is still available.

Whoever takes him gets the best value of the first round

 

[Coach Ellis]

Dude i would have picked #2 is still on the board

Decent pick doe QSH.

I'm curious to see who that is.

 

[The Midnight]

I think know who you're referring to, I wanted to pick him too but I needed a 2-way player.

 

[♪alt13]

I have the 8 & 10 Open to trades

highest bidder naturally.

 

[fishonjazz]

I'm curious to see who that is.

You probably know who it is already. You should.

When people talk of beat player of all time there are a few names you hear.

Jordan the most
You hear some kareem
You hear some wilt

But the man i speak of is second only to jordan in the popular opinion of GOAT

 

[The Midnight]

Nevermind.

 

[spycam1]

Ima go to the grocery store.

Fishbro, text me if heyhey comes online plz

(should be back within 30 mins)

 

[fishonjazz]

I think know who you're referring to, I wanted to pick him too but I needed a 2-way player.

Ya you probably do... and good job not saying the name..... i think that is, or should be a rule. That you cant say names or make it obvious who you speak of in these kinds of dicussions.

 

[spycam1]

Well, since heyhey is gonna be looking at trade offers, I'm guessing I have more than enough time to go to the store......

 

[fishonjazz]

I have the 8 & 10 Open to trades

highest bidder naturally.

you should use that 8th pick and get a top 2 all time player

 

[The Midnight]

Ya you probably do... and good job not saying the name..... i think that is, or should be a rule. That you cant say names or make it obvious who you speak of in these kinds of dicussions.

I think the rule has always been that you don't talk about players that hasn't been picked. (otherwise the discussion may affect who the person will pick). But once the player is picked, u can discuss.
