Fun Friday "All-Time Team" Game

[JSD]

Alright, Michael Jordan is out but everyone else is in: The objective is to build an all-time team using any player in NBA history (besides Jordan). The rounds will go in reverse order:

1st Round:

Team 1
Team 2
Team 3
Team 4
Team 5

2nd Round:

Team 5
Team 4
Team 3
Team 2
Team 1

and so on...

Obviously don't play unless you'll have computer access throughout the day. Each team gets 1/2 hour when "on the clock for a pick" if a team is skipped twice in a row a new GM is brought in and receives make up picks at the end of the round. There will be 10 rounds and each team needs to fill out there roster in this format:

Starting five:

C
PF
SF
SG
PG

Bench:

C
PF
SF
SG
PG

If you want a team just draft using a team that hasn't picked yet!

I'll start:

Team 1 selects - Bill Russell

GO TEAM 2!

[JSD]

Oh and When the draft is complete I'll set up a poll to determine the best team.

I'd like to, but I clock out at 2 today. Fun idea though. If I were you however I'd use current players, not all time, mostly because you can't compare wilt against shaq or russell against duncan against mchale, etc....its all completely and utterly subjective. Its better to try to compare current players, then everyone has to base at aleast a little of their opinion in fact.

I hear you but that this is just a fun little thing to do to kill time on a slow day (knock on wood). Grab a team IP! I'm off at 4:30 today. The hardest part will be to get this game going! these 50 rounds will fly by though.

Oh you get the #1 pick huh? Stern ran the lottery i see.

are we making  a realistic team (i.e. guys 8-12 are actual bench players) or super allstar teams w/ a guy like KG be a 9th man?

finally do i really have the 2nd pick?
