2018 Annual JazzFanz LEGENDARY Players - Round 1 Match 4 - Hekate vs Ellis269

[MVP]

Hek's team is not as quick as the other team in this matchup.

If they were competing in 100 m sprint then maybe your argument would be valid.

 

[Truth]

Quickness is more than running.

 

[MVP]

Quickness is more than running.

And winning basketball games is more than quickness or running.

 

[Rubashov]

Are you saying that prime Shaq, Sabonis, Marion, Duncan or Pierce could not run?

Sabonis in his prime was playing in Europe, he played in the NBA on one leg, makes him even better in my opinion.

Can I get a plunger to unclog the paint?

I never said it was. I just think the other team would win this matchup.

I never said it was. I just think the other team would win this matchup.

And 11 more people think Hekate's team would.

 

[Truth]

You are being deceptive. 11 to 10 is 1 more , not 11 more.
Not to mention that 10 of those 11 votes were made before the flaws of H's team were discussed..
Let's do the vote over and see if it's still 11-10.

[Coach Ellis]

You guys make me laugh.

The matchup is fairly even, but I don’t have to bash Hekate’s team to build up my own. He probably has the most complete team in this thing. Outside of my own team, his is probably my next favorite team.

If he knocks me off, I’ll likely vote for him in future matchups. I knew my team was in for a battle as soon as I saw the lineups.

I’ll fully accept that my shooting isn’t the greatest, but it’s certainly good enough to win. Nash, Drexler, Pippen Malone, Olajuwon and Richmond could all score lights out on any given night and were excellent athletes at their position to boot. Moses is built more like a modern PF and he was certainly capable of moving his game outside the paint while still crashing the glass. I think he’d make a great tandem with Hakeem.

My team checks a lot of boxes. Hekate’s team checks a lot too. It really is close and a small amount of subjectivity can tip it either way. I enjoyed the draft and I enjoying the debate. Thanks to all who have defended my team. I do appreciate it.

Called it. Ruba vs Hekate in the Finals.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Congrats to @Hekate . Knew I was in for a tough matchup as soon as I saw who I drew. Good luck moving forward. As of right now, I think you’re most likely to win this thing.

 

[LogGrad98]

It is pretty obvious that a lot of people have not watched any NBA before like, 1995. Russell was quick as hell. That is how he was such a monster defender at 6'8". He was one of the very few that could go toe to toe with Wilt in his prime, and Wilt in his prime was quick and strong. He set the mold for Shaq, really. Quickness is a lame discussion anyway. Did anyone think that the Bulls were the quickest team in the NBA with Kerr and Rodman and Longley and Wennington, etc.? Nope.

Thanks, my first thought was "Early Finals". I wouldn't feel bad at all if I lost this.

So I am right and Hekate is wrong.

No way Wes Mantooth does not make it to finals.
