Jazz Decades NBA Fantasy Draft

Just saying. Wilt was hardly a leader and the combo of him and Kobe could be destructive to say the least. Couple that with Barkley who never bit his tongue and I could see that team unraveling.

Shaq, Bird and Kidd are all business though.

Kobe was so destructive that he has 5 rings? Wilt as a leader? Not really needed. Kobe or Barkley can be leaders. Barkley is outspoken but was he ever considered to be a bad teammate? Barkley, like Kobe, was all about trying to win. Thus trying to get with Hakeem and Pippen in Houston.

Wilt was on a team that won 33 in a row! That's some bad chemistry right there.

Shaq and Bird are a nasty combo. I still think I have the superior team top to bottom. Can you imagine Stockton feeding Wilt, Kobe, Barkley & Drexler? Good luck.

I still don't like the chemistry. Too many alpha males. Stockton would defer of course but I think it would get ugly with the remaining four knuckleheads.

Sure, Kobe was great when he got help. But will Barkley and Wilt and Drexler defer. I'm not sure. Just a weird potpourri of egos for me. Just my opinion though. Don't take it so hard. Just my initial reaction. Obviously your team is very good.

Fair enough. Not taking it hard.... just commenting on your comment :) It's all for kicks and giggles anyway right?

70s Wilt, while not nearly as dominant as he was earlier in his career was still a major force. When he was with the Lakers (70s) he did defer to West, Baylor, Goodrich, Hairston.

So I am not sure how much Barkley and Kobe would have to defer really. More of Drexler and Dantley deferring. But if you are worried how Drexler and Dantley are going to fit in your team is stacked.
 
1 - Frazier/Lebron
2 - Miller/Griffith/Korver
3 - Lebron/Miller/Korver
4 - Malone
5 - Duncan
 
I dont know if my team is the best, but I think I have the deepest team thus far. No one on my team really stinks.

PG: Yet to be determined
SG: Wade/ Jeff Malone
SF: John Drew
PF: Moses Malone
C: David Robinson / Okur
 
With the third pick of what ever round this is I take:
The Iceman, George Gervin

Gervin was the model that of what people look for in the 2 Guard position. Great size at 6'7" with great handles and a fantastic ability to finish at the rim along with a good jump shot. Gervin's NBA carrier stats come out at an incredible 26 PPG along with 5 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal, and a block. He wasn't just a shooting guard he was a "making guard" shooting 51% from the field and 84% from the FT line for his carrier. Gervin could also carry his team when needed as proven by him scoring 40 plus points a game an amazing 74 times.
 
13-time NBA All-Star. All-time leading scorer for the Boston Celtics. Scored at least 1,000 points in each of his 16 seasons. Highest scoring white player (sorry, it is a Jazz forum afterall) in NBA history.

John Havlicek

I heard he was one tough son of a *****.

Why am I drafting him? To bring him off the bench to punch Michael Jordan in the face. And look at this move.

Wow. I'm between a couple players here but I'm going to pass up the statistical choice for the guy who makes my team more complete in my opinion.

Jerry West. Mr. Clutch. I'll play him at the 1 defensively since Kidd can guard any two.

In the 70's he averaged about 25ppg, 8apg, and 4.3apg. He also had 2.6 spg in the last year of his career, the first in which they began keeping track of the stat. And he was a dead eye shooter at 47.4% from the floor.

Kidd penetrating and either finding Shaq or kicking it out to Bird or West is deadly. Good luck with that. Way too many strong iq's here and team players who are winners and can do everything, pass, rebound, shoot (not Kidd), get steals.

The defensive toughness of my starters can not be ****** with. Bench loaded with explosive scorers.
