I stated all thise things. Didnt matter.
I had to defend kobe since the pick od him
Because pick 11 was a bit too early and you then went over the top defending him by just making crazy comments.
And for some idiotic reason had to defend hakeem. When guys who scored the same way like ewing and moses got free passes.
Again because you said crazy idiotic things and were going to play him at PF. These are the first few posts in the thread after you took Hakeem mentioning Hakeem. Notice all very positive.
I was thinking of drafting Hakeem at 5 so I was watching a youtube video of his game from 1993 playoffs. His quickness is just unbelievable.
You know about his quickness ... it is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of him ... but you forget just how truly incredibly it was.
That defensive quickness in closing down space and providing help defense. What a defender. And then used that same quickness to destroy people in the post on offense. Amazing player.
He - along with Russell - were my other picks. I considered Wilt as well. You'll have fun building around Dream.
Hakeem was only player ever to win MVP, Finals MVP, DPOY in same season.
Only 3 times in NBA has a 25+ ppg scorer ever won DPOY. Hakeem was 2 of them. (MJ the third)
In '94 & '95 he absolutely dominated some of the elite players of a pretty tough generation which will be starters on a few teams in this game.
I'm happy sticking with MJ, but Hakeem would be my #2 choice of players I'd want to build around. (Shaq was #3)
Then after selecting Kobe this is the very first comment in the thread.
Oooh, Kobe and Hakeem together! I hadn't realized that. Nice. Those two would work very well together.
These are the next 3 related to either of your selections. One questioning his attitude, but two very positive.
I’m trying to stay open-minded about Kobe (Mr. 8-for-24), but he was such a jerk, and maybe too ball dominant.
But mostly, I just hate the guy.
Gross.. but good pick
Great choices...will be interesting to see you build around these two.
The problem wasn't your selections. It was your attitude and your ridiculous statements about them.
No its just become stupid and exhausting at this point.
Kobe is a ball hog that passes. And in his most ball hogging season recorded he has less time per possession than lebron that year. But that was ignored when i posted it.
And apparently now all stats are useless now.
Its just taken up entirely too much of my time.
I am done. Everyone wins. My team sucks.
Just leave me out of it please
And this is why you won't be allowed to participate in these type of drafts again. Your attitude is quite simply just awful. You make ridiculous hyperboles that aren't based in reality. There is defending your team and then there is nonsense. You pretty quickly went into the nonsense realm.
Ask me if i care.
You in particular have been against me for some time. Threatening to boot me long before the draft was even over becuase I was appaled at you and your little buddies claiming hakeem wouldnt destroy ewing in thia day amd age and instead kept bringing back to the 90s when they played against each other.
But when i try to use stats from the past to support something you all stat they are irrelevant.
You have all beem condescending and arrogant throughout most of this game and blaming it all on me instead
If I misused a stat or made am error in a statement you all immediately jumped down my throat claiming hyperbole or calling me an idiot. Or whathaveyou.
I have been singled out for attack pretty exclusively for anything i posted for my opinion.
Which is all based on hypotheticals
Remember the 1 year of kidd veraus 1 year of payton in todays game? I had everyone piling on me there.
That is what i misposke about lists when i was thinking about debates as to who is better. Didnt matter. Lets just pound on a "hyperbole" as opposed to questioning in i posted in error.
Lets accuse as opposed to question.
Then it has been a non stop pile on since.
Ask again if i care if i am a part of one of these in the future.
Go ahead
I could care less.
I could care less if no one likes my team.
I am much more dissapointed in what I thought was a cool community that is instead confrontational, condescending and far to quick to snap to a conclusion about someone. And yeah i said someone as opposed to post.
Ask again if i care about not being a part of a game like this again.
I wanted to just have fun debating players against players and maybe a little trash talking for fun. That went away fast when it became a pile in instead.
