Ultimate Draft II (Congrats to Roy for winning Best Overall)

[Kiorrik]

Are "outsiders" allowed to vote btw?

.edit: oh, and if "yes"; bidding starts at 10 bucks.

Anyone can vote.

I'll set the buyout for my vote to 2 sets of tickets to next all of next years finals games + 2 sets of plane tickets to make it to all the games.

I can Payl Pal you about $1.67, will that do?

As a first bid? Sure! Do I hear $1.68?

I'm not soliciting your vote, but if you will for less than $5 I'd be willing to pay as much as $10 for one of the seats (that's a solid profit margin there Kiorrik).

My hoops team:

C - Godzilla (this was totally a charge on Barkley)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oCF-QFuoYs

SF - Larry Joe Bird - My most favoritest athlete ever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVzLQVs0RdE

PF - Warren Coolidge - unstoppable force from Carver High

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I0v_jFlzF4

PG - Bill the Cat - gifted (fur)ball handler



SG - Merrill Stubing - learned a few tricks from his navy days



6th Man - Andtre The Giant - enforcer off the bench, can dunk on his tippy toes...seriosly would you want to play against him?

[thirstyboots18]

If you hit the jackpot and come for the finals, Kiorrik, you can save a little money and stay with us...we have an extra bedroom.  We live just a short walk from the "Garden"....about 1,400 miles!

David Stern has announced that the new marketing plan for the NBA is all about the Greatest American Hero.


The scuttlebutt is that the official have been told if his team does not win, they will all be turned over to the FBI for the gambling and game fixing past.

[misha]

PG: Magic Johnson - Best point guard of all time and it's not even close.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxBM3dTPc_k

SG: Dwyane Wade - Best shooting guard in the league, top3 in the league overall.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uxVIf9lZE

SF: Elgin Baylor - Changed the game. The original Lebron/MJ prototype. Could score from anywhere and in every posiible way (scored against the C's 61 points in the finals game at the Garden), great rebounder (averaged one season almost 20 rebounds per game and he's only 6 ft 5).

3 bigs rotation:

PF/C: Tim Duncan - The best PF ever. He's so efficient in both ends of the floor that some think he's a robot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WpOKLvYz2c

PF/C: Hakeem Olajuwon - The best all around big. Top 10 player ever without a doubt. Unmatched footwork, number one defense. The whole package.  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBrEsNS9zKg

C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -  The second best center ever after our number 6 and arguably third best player of all time. Unstoppable skyhook. Dominated the game for almsot 20 years (took the finals MVP with two different teams in 15 years apart).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1yVfJs6OcI




Rotation:

PG/SG: Oscar Robertson - averaged triple-double in his first five years in the league. Top 10 player ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwT5vcCzt_I

SG/SF: John Havlicek - Can fit in any team. Great defender, perfect stamina, could defend any guard, very good scorer, winner and a C's legend. Should be in every best 15.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqSzPjTuNTE

SF/PF: Dennis Rodman - excellent rebounder and defender. You want someone like him on your side.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icJLs4t0lLo


Coach: Phil Jackson - he's the guy you want to manage the big egos.

[misha]

Breaking news: after the team meeting, it was decided that Dennis Rodman will have to take one for the team and sleep with Lebron's mom. You thought Delonte doing that was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet.

[Redz]

Poll is open for best hoops team

[Redz]

Tough decision, but by my count Misha's squad has 5 Lakers vs 3 for Nick (still a bit much for my taste but you really can't call Mailman and Payton true Lakers)...Need I say more?  Nick gets my vote!


10) Nickagneta:  Karl Malone - Wrestler:
10) Nickagneta: Bernard King - 80s TV character
10) Nickagneta: Bob Cousy - Celtic
10) Nickagneta: Charles Barkley - TV Announcer

Objectively, nick's team is most talented, and misha's has fewer career losers on it.  However, Edgar has Shaq, Ray Allen, and GOD.  I mean, God can't miss, and he plays pretty killer defense, too.

If that is the only argument anyone has for Edgar's team, that he has God? Then quite honestly, shouldn't Edgar have won every category? Couldn't God be considered the best World Conqueror, Funniest Entity, and Smartest Being ever by the widest of wide margins so much so that Edgar's team should have won every category?

God never scored 100 points in a game!

God can't dribble like Cousy!!

God never got a nickname like "The Glove" because his defense was so great!!

God never orchestrated 16 world titles!! Heck more US Presidents have probably asked Red Auerbach for advice than they have God!!

In basketball Michael Jordan is GOD!!!

And God told me, even he is afraid of KG!!!

I think that people underestimate my team which is more balanced than Nick's team - he has 3 pure PF's and no C or SG backups. My best 3 bigs is unmatched and my teammates won more rings by far overall. Sure there are few Lakers, but nobody is perfect

Anyway, I'm taking my talents to another thread.
