Okay, so with the first pick, Philadelphia takes Shaquille O'Neal (1999-2000).

This'll be fun.

With Hakeem,which is the only guy who "owned" Shaq in his entire career not available im looking at other and see how they counter this monstrous force.

[GreenFaith1819]

Wow..starting a bit early.

Give me a few min, pls

[GreenFaith1819]

Making my pick in a sec...

With my 1st pick in the 2012 CelticsBlog Historical Draft, I'm selecting:



The Kid.

Will probably go with his 2003-04 season, but still researching.

Thanks for patience, folks.

OH my Lord, there goes my dude...

I love Garnett in these historical drafts. Great skill-set.

I was tempted to take KG with the first pick. 

[Roy H.]

To be clear, the rules are that any player that played from 1985 until the present is eligible, correct?

I think folks might be over-thinking this a bit, to let the near-consensus (i.e., outside of Boston) best player of all-time fall to #3.

EDIT:  Okay, I see.  Even though the rules say this:

Each player will be assigned a team and run that team as it's owner. Players to be drafted will be any player that played from 1985 until the present. Once a player is drafted he is the property of that team. Once all rounds of the draft are over, each owner will be required to submit a roster picking the season that each of his or her players will be represented by. The season chosen must be a season within the time frame of the era, in this case, 1985-86 to-2011-2012.

... the real intent is for this to be for players drafted in '85 and after?

Just a lil' reminder of what The Kid can do:

Post play? He has that, too:

I don't know if KG here is a reach necessarily, but I think there is one clear guy who needed to be picked at #2.

Lets see if Rondo grabs him.

No body drafted before the draft lotto.  


That knocks out guys like Jordon.

Nope just those DRAFTED 1985 til now can be taken.

[GreenFaith1819]

All I know is...Shaq will be AWFULLY hard to defend without opening this up to the 1960's.

There are a FEW out there that could slow him down just a tad, but he will be a load in this format.
