I'm going to get ready to go. Chad, you're back on the clock if you want. If you like your pick, it would be nice if you let us know first. I will be picking in a few minutes either way I guess.

HELL YES.
With the 8th pick of the 2011 1990's NBA draft, NUMBERICA selects...
TIM DUNCAN
All Duncan did in his one and a half seasons in the 90's was put up 21.5 PPG, 12 RPG, 2.5 BPG, and 2.5 APG while winning a ROY, going to every All-Star game possible, win a championship, and a finals MVP. In the conversation for the best PF of all time, one of the greatest Cs of all time, and without a doubt the best PF/C the game has seen. That gives me some versatility.

Make your other pick buttnutt.
With the 1st pick of the 2011 2000's NBA draft, NUMBERICA selects...
LEBRON JAMES
Right now, it's really easy to forget just how amazing Lebron James is.
Or at least, was.
This Lebron is the actual King James. The one that delivered us from the Kobe Bryants, Allen Iversons, and Vince Carters of the era. The one whose statistical contributions can only be matched by the GOAT. The one who took a bunch of garbage and turned it into a respectable team, even without any good coaching. The one who put that team on his back and beat clearly the best team of the east at the time and for that decade to get to an NBA finals. Anyone remember this?

This was the guy that got bigger as the moments did. Two-time MVP, ROY, 6-time All-Star, 2-time All-Star MVP, 6-time All NBA (5 1st teams), and 2-time All Defensive 1st team selections. Also one of the most versatile players you could name and in the conversation for best SF of all-time (behind Larry Bird unless he can start winning rings). I will use him as such, might even have him as my starting PG.
Good thing for me, he blew it in '10 and on (so to speak).

I won't reveal every level of why, but I think I spelled it out enough. Duncan came into the league as finished a product as anyone ever has.

I was thinking the same thing...although I can see it from Numberica's perspective as well...you could take 90's Alonzo Mourning and 2000's Tim Duncan, or take 90's Tim Duncan (still a 22-12-3 all-star PF playing next to Robinson) and take a wing (Kobe or LeBron) #1 overall next. 90's Duncan was still a champion who came through in the Finals, so I can see it both ways, but picking 7th or 8th requires a fair amount of strategy.
