Boo, Kobe!
I think Wade at #5 may end up being the best pick in the entire draft.
I know I'm setting myself up for losing this
popularity contest celticsblog draft by taking kobe over wade, but like I said, I'm sticking with drafting the best basketball players when available, not the most popular.

He's really my #1b overall and if I ended up the #1 overall pick, I'd probably try to trade down so I didn't have to choose between him and Lebron. My hatred for Lebron is on the level of many of your hatred for Kobe.
I thought Wade would go at #3 or #4. I thought the top 4 players could go in any order of preference really of: kobe, lebron, wade, durant. Then Dwight was one of my next 2 with another player who I won't name since he hasn't been drafted yet.
