I haven't looked at any stats, but Curry played well these latest Finals. Obviously I'm exaggerating. Irving is still an all-star level player. Very versatile offensively. **** defensively. But still an all-star.

I think he is the 2nd or 3rd best PG in the NBA right now. I'm not a fan of him in general though.

Irving.

Curry is #1.

Let's see. Are we counting Harden as PG? And you think Irving is better than Westbrook and CP3? If you replace Westbrook in OKC with Irving, they'd would have been competing for the 10th seed.

I didn't count harden. CP3 was better last season but I think that might change. I would take Irving over Westbrook. I am not a fan of Westbrook.

Dr J. Is one of the better suited players to guard LeBron. I have a good rim protector at center and his backup. Amare was a decent defender before getting hurt which is the season I am taking him from. The only weak defender I have starting is Kyrie and if he is hurting the team I put in a solid defender Tiny. Dantley is a weaker defender coming off the bench but his elite offense more than makes up for it.

The bigger question is how do you stop my team who are all elite offensive athletic weapons? They are all capable passers. No one on your team can guard the GOAT on my team. You have no rim defense with some of the greatest players ever attacking the rim. It would be like an all star game for me on offense.


BTW, which season are you counting for LeBron?

Yeah really tough..


Bigs: Amare/Kareem = LeBron/Webber
Wings: Carter/Erving = Allen/Hill
PG: Irving = Billups
Bench: Dead even


It's gonna be an offensive battle for sure.. like the team that scores 120 points first win kinda battle.

But that's not saying much, you think LeBron is the greatest ever by a long shot and are a huge fan.

If LeBron played back then and Dr J was playing now you would feel the opposite.

Although who knows what LeBron would look like if he didn't have all of Dr Js moves to copy.

Dr J was phenomenal all over the court and a great athlete.

I actually still have Jordan over lebron
 
Lebron would absolutely destroy Erving. He has about 40 pounds on him.

Next year, I'm just going to pick the highest scorers. Because evidently that's all people remember and vote for. Defense and chemistry don't matter.

Seriously, of all his guys, Ron mentioned Amar'e second for playing solid defense. Laughable. Whatevs.

Good win, Ron. Not sour grapes at all.

Amare was an atrocious defender at times in his career. But pre injury he played defense, especially in the playoffs. People forget what he looked like back then.

I think you just tried to build solid role players around Lebron. Maybe that works because Lebron is really good but I think if he ran into a team of stars he would lose.

Frankly I am surprised to win. People overrate Lebron and underrate some of the old stars. I was shocked Kareem slipped to me but also realized people dont remember that he was considered the GOAT until Jordan came along. Many people still think he is the GOAT like Pat Riley.

I think next round ill just go with my best players as starters and not worry about the recency bias.
 
Frontcourt of Dr Stat & Kareem is maybe the best in this entire competition. Plus Vince? Damn.
 
I really love Wes's team, but Kareem would destroy Webber in the post. That mismatch alone shifts Ron cowards.

Wes has a top 4 team in this league tho, id maybe take him over most except Spy.
