What's new

All-Time NBA Draft (not just international)

I agree.
Not liking triple k's team so far.
Really needs to nail some starpower with his next pick.

My guy left of the top of my big three (from like 5 picks ago) would fit the bill

Duncan and Pippen are too really nice pieces.
 
Why cant i find the jazzyapma KG pick in this thread anywhere
 
Damn! Thought for sure that I'd end up with one of Karl Malone, David Robinson or Scottie Pippen at #23. I still have some quality guys on my list. . . but my 2nd tier is almost completely tapped at this point.

There is still some really good players left.
 
I'm just waiting for Hack to break my damn heart. I have one Tier 1 player from my board left and I'm worried that he's as good as gone.

This is EXACTLY why I picked Pippen at #19. I had trade offers that would have put me past your pick and I would have missed out on him.


I really like Pippen so I thought, yeah it's a little early, but nah, I'd rather have the guy on my team that I like than miss out.

Flashy teams don't always win the Championship. Who are the "stars" on the Spurs? Look at the Rockets this year flaming out. They have a couple of stars but if they don't buy into team concept then they'll never win a ring.


Give me a boring team, playing defensive grinding out basketball over a team of flashy players that don't gel any day.

I have one player that I had rated higher than Pippen, so you made my choice a lot easier if Hack doesn't take my guy. . . but had Pippen still been there, I'd have been sorely tempted to jump my board and take him instead of hoping he'd fall to 26. I'm still going to get two really good players, but I'd have loved to have Pippen as one of them.

You can bet me or addictionary will take your guy.
 
With the 20th pick of the 2014 NBA All Time Greatests Class Draft;

as the owner of that risky pick, I select the player, that I am both extremely happy with as a big fan and also very upset that he is down to this point.


This guy was born in 1950 New York. He was the revolutionizer of the sports we love and keep track of today. He played in 3 teams and in 2 leagues. Played a good amount with the colored ball with his Afro.

He had his nickname since highschool, given by a highschool friend:

I have a buddy—his name is Leon Saunders—and he lives in Atlanta, and I started calling him "the professor," and he started calling me "the doctor." So it was just between us...we were buddies, we had our nicknames and we would roll with the nicknames. Lo and behold we graduate from high school together, we both go to U-Mass, and we separated for many years 'cause he went over to Africa and did some stuff, and I went my way. But now he's my golf buddy in Atlanta...and I love him. He's just like a little brother to me even though, you know, there's only months between us. But he's the professor and he was the first one to call me "the doctor." And that's where it came from.

Some familiar folks have stepped the same ladders, some others try to climb today...

His name is;

Julius Winfield Erving II .................AKA Dr. J.............

As he stepped to the Rucker Park, he started being called Black Moses and Houdini. But he said to those people, "Call me Doc..."

He treated those patients with a new type of medical care. Changed the game as they knew it.

He was a 6-6, 210 lbs, long arms'n legs guy with insane air travelling ability.

Doc had that winning attitude as much as a player could, going up against the best opposition possible, taking it to the extreme...

He dominated when enjoyed it, enjoyed it when dominated it....

He had changed the game and allowed changers to appear more and more at a boosting rate...

He had 24.2 ppg, 8.5 rpg and 4.4 apg in playoffs throughout his journey.

He is an obvious HoF'er.

He is the great basketball player to be looked up to.

He is the definite basketball hero. Even could be put above anyone else relatively.

I don't know what the hell is he doing here in #20,

but he is my pick.
