Jazzfanz ALL-TIME Fantasy Draft

For the record, I am PISSED THE **** OFF that I missed out on this. It was absolutely aggravating seeing all of you guys wait for Wes, and not be able to do anything about it.




PS: I'm liking Whisky. Im liking him a lot.
 
Also, Enes if you're still around, remember you have another pick coming up soon after this one. So please PM a couple of choices to someone.
 
OK guys I'm here, I have to make some adjustments after the previous picks so I want a few minutes. Thanks for the PM Numberica.

dal, welcome back bro, I'll deal with you later.

I entered this draft with two fast picks as a favor to the board. This **** is taking way too long, especially for the snake end, so my team is up for grabs. Outside Whiskey's Dirk mismatch, Havlicek's relentless motor gives my team the only outside chance of stopping Spam1. He's the only guy capable of guarding LeBron James. Kobe locks down the other spot. It's yours if you want it.

Wish we coulda had ya .. Welcome back ... Again.
 
This was a really tough decision, there are still great players out there. But only the fact that I don't trust the NBA oldies helped me to decide. I have the greatest PG of all times along with an elite center in Dwight Howard. Scottie Pippen just makes my team have a wonderful core. I thought adding an elite scorer and a great passer PF to this core would make sense since I have a pure PG.

So with my fourth pick I select one of the best PFs of the modern NBA, Pau Gasol.

Nah man its cool, I'd prefer to watch and see how you assemble your team. You've got one of the best basketball-minds on this forum.
 
I was curious to see where Pau would end up. So long as he always has his blanket, this is quite a good pick.
 
With my next pick. I choose the Jordan stopper

His name is the Glove.

Awesome pick Hack. I was planning to pick him in the next round.
 
Man this got excited again, I called my buddies, I'll ditch them for another hour, let's make this thing go people.

I thought NUMBERICA would take him with his last pick. Great pick here.

It was considered. Hard to justify when shooting the ball is going to matter so much (I grabbed a guy who will shoot as many 3s as you want to give him and hits them at a killer rate, in addition to, again, being a real mother-****er [but still a terrific teammate]), in addition to already having Robertson.

I was hoping he'd fall to my next set of picks, but that seemed unlikely.
 
I like the Payton pick a lot. As far as 90's players go, he was actually a fairly good 3pt shooter.

As far as 90's players go. As far as reality goes, he's decent. If you aren't hitting at 33%+, hard to say you're pulling it off. There aren't a lot of all-time greats that used the 3-ball as emphatically or excitedly as Reggie (or Ray), and that is really important to truly keep a defense honest.
