How's my Historical Team? (Awesome right!)

Thats true but when comparing similar talents Rings is a very useful barometer IMO

Not when their supporting casts are drastically different.

I disagree.  I still think it means something

Why?

If you were to swap Marc Gasol and Andrew Bynum in the past 10 years, what are the chances the Grizzlies win a championship? What are the chances the Lakers still win 3?

Yeah, I buy Rondo's argument for VC over Kobe but not Bynum over Gasol. All this being said, Dirk has led a comparatively less talented team to a championship over more talented teams. Why couldn't he do that in  this format?

Pretty honorable of you to concede that Kobe Bryant was a better player than Vince Carter

I'd take Marc over Bynum myself, but I'd accept an argument for Bynum. But the 'count the ringz' argument in this case - and, in most cases - is nonsense.

I disagree.  Rings are pretty important.

I'm bored and sick of talking about how grievously under-appreciated my team is. At some point in the next hour or 3 I'm gonna start breaking down all the other teams as best I can.

Will there or will there not be spreadsheets?

You act like there isn't a whole armada of spreadsheets. You fool, you're already in too deep!

Have you read the Virgil one from last week?  That guy sounds like the saddest human being walking the earth.

Jeez, I started to read it and got depressed. He's a sad guy.

It's gotta be weird to be recognized as that particular WWF persona.

Just got done with the virgil edition. Wow. I need a warm cup of milk or something.

Man, I feel sad for Virgil. Really.

But doesn't he get paid by diBiase a ton of money?

All joking aside, that's just really sad to see him appear in conventions and not even one dude recognize him.

I don't know if it's a matter of people not recognizing him, as it is a case of him being, ya know, Virgil.
