2 and 3, awful, just awful picks.
I realize I had some choices at 2, but how is it awful that I picked Shaq? It's been argued he was the most physically dominating player ever. Don't give me the crap about Bill Russell and Wilt. They played against inferior competition. If you want to just go off stats, then why not just start throwing around Al Jefferson's high school stats or someone else like that. That's if you don't want to consider who these guys played against.
If you want argue I should have picked Magic, Kobe, Kareem or Hakeem, etc, then that's fine. Really, there is about ten that could have went second. I went with Shaq because I wanted to get a big man before they are all gone. Shaq is arguably the best. It was tough between him and Hakeem. I went with Shaq because of the bulk and he has a couple more rings.
Shaq would have dominated Wilt and Russell. Not completely, but yes, they would have had their hands full with him. Shaq= 325 lbs Russell 220. Seriously, you don't think Shaq just would have bullied him? And, I don't mean this as disrespect to those guys either. They were still great players, but we are talking about who would beat who, Right?
Idk, maybe I should have gone with Hakeem. He was a better player. But, there is something about Shaq I can't pass up. Maybe it's his potential that he never reached. Think, if Shaq would have shot 80% from the line then he would have been that much better. Shaq was so dominate that the only way to beat him was to do the hack a Shaq.
Not to mention, I want the guy who is going to be bringing down basketball rims and backboards on your asses
