not just the footwork. He is the NBA's all time leader in blocks as well. He brought it on both ends of the floor.

I think there's certainly an argument for Hakeem. The main knock on him, imo, is that he won his rings during the window Jordan was retired. Would he have won them if Jordan had still been around?
 
All this talk of "the greats" makes me want to have a fantasy basketball draft with the legends. Is this something others would be interested in doing to fight the off season boredom?

Fantasy Draft including every player ever. (I would assume we would draft 5 players.)

Yeah I'm kind of in for this.
 
So Far I count three people: Me, you, and the other guy. We should invite some Turks to be in the draft. I think it would be funny to see Hedo and Memo go in the first round.

I'm sure a few more will show interest tomorrow, then we can make a thread specifically about it and get more peeps.

OK, I'm in as well, but I rather want some Ilyasova please. He's kind of my fellow man from central Asia.
 
I'm in for this. What is it? A foreign players draft? Can someone please state the rules to me? And can we start this asap?

Not foreign, just all players ever. I was thinking of doing a snake draft, with no specifics about each round (last year, I think they did it by decade or something). Then, we'll form a bracket, and have Jazzfanz vote on who they think would win. If anyone has suggestions about the rules, feel free to say so. I'd like to make sure this all sounds good with you guys before actually starting the thread.
