Chamberlain and McHale together, imagine how hard it will be to score on Miami inside.

I'd be more worried about how hard it will be to double both of them.

[33-00-32]

Can anyone tell me how many posts, TP's , time served...I need before Big Baby will leave my profile? I'm not happy with his performance (or appearance) lately and would like to see him go away.

[WeMadeIt17]

Edgar were you saying i made a good pick?

[GreenFaith1819]

And...Twenty-Two (22) First or Second Team All-Defense Awards between Kareem and KG.....Loving It!!

We have 21 and they didn't start counting them until Hondo's 8th year!!

Don't you both have a maximum of 2?   

Touche.

Haven't seen the rules on what the guidelines are.....?

How does McHale fair against Garnett in a 1 on 1 matchup? That'd be something, man. He never faced anyone with Garnett's athleticism/length coupled with his determination, but Garnett never faced anyone with McHale's array of post moves and ability to score. Très Intéressant.

Alright everyone knows Kobe needs a good big man to play with him so with the 8th pick in the 2nd round the Atlanta Hawks Select..






Karl "The Mailman" Malone!

Good player to pair with Kobe. Maybe not the 'ideal' player, but a very close approximation.

I love Malone I dont like him next to kobe
so I am devastated to see him next to him

McHale >>> Garnett.

Im trying to decide between a pick I think would be very very fun next to shaq or one that might be more practical, what do you guys think i should do?

[GreenFaith1819]

Not a bad pick at all from WeMadeIt17, for Karl Malone. Mailman was my 2nd pick, behind KG...I would've been comfortable picking Karl or KG.

Mailman's defense is very under-rated, too...checking basketballrefernce.com, he has several Defensive awards as well.

[StartOrien]

Certainly better players out there, but I couldn't resist

With the eighth (?) pick of the second round the Indiana Pacers select:

Charles Barkley
