2020 Vintage 80’s 90’s draft winner changes my picture.

So...
C- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
PF - Alonzo Mourning
SF - Clyde Drexler
SG - Mitch Richmond
PG - John Stockton

Love the versatility of my team so far. Great shooters in Stockton and Richmond both are some of the best clutch players in the 90’s. Clyde was a beast of an athlete. He was unstoppable slashing to the hoop and on fast breaks. Kareem and Stockton’s two man game would be lethal. The twin tower affect of Zo and Kareem defensively would be perfect against 80’s and 90’s style offense.

Alright I guess I'm up... everyone needs to be ashamed of themselves... yall were out here picking rookie vince carter and paul pierce with prime George Gervin out here....

Before KD there was Iceberg Slim.... Let me take you through his scoring averages from his age 28-32 seasons (the relevant period here).

27
32 - led the league
26
26
21
All 5 seasons he was an all-star. Now go back to your rooms and think about what you have done.
So I'm starting:
Magic
Dr.J
The Iceman
C-Webb
Moses Malone

with Penny coming off the bench (probably reached a bit but I loved me some Penny so get the hell off me).

Just watching his highlights I'm not a fan. Stats sure, but I don't love his game. A product of his era imo.

His highlights might not excite you but not sure you can call him a product of his era... not even sure what that means. Wasn't like 30 ppg scorers were just everywhere then. His teams were good too... they weren't just good stats on a bad team.

Skyhooks, bank shots, and finger rolls are boring, but they all count.
 
My team is about balling, but it's also about personality and charisma. With that in mind, I'm drafting the NBA's most famous finger wagger....

True, but he only played till 85, albeit his 80's years were very productive. Just watching his highlight vids he was finger rolling over defenders who weren't even attempting to do anything. Uncontested 10 footers. Just not seeing him doing that against Ewing, Alzonzo, Garnett, etc .....

He hit a lot of pull up jumpers and other **** too... cross era comparisons are tough but if that is how we are going to view it then why include 80s at all?

Agreed it very tough, and I wasn't born yet so all I've got to go off of is highlights and they are less than impressive.

I would tend to agree they aren't super flashy. Just think about someone watching a Tim Duncan Youtube mix... would be some cool dunks but it would be a lot of bank shots, one handed half hooks... I mean you took Ewing... His youtube mix compared to say Dwight Howard or Rudy's would be pretty boring.
