Also not sure he’s even close to the passer Hakeem was. That was a big part of his game

Hakeem acquired passing well into his career. It was initially a point of weakness that held the Rockets back, but he figured that out. Embiid actually has some impressive ability there, I couldn’t say who is or was better.

The idea that Pistol wasn’t a good shooter because he didn’t shoot and make a ton of threes right after the idea was introduced is absurd. This is why the conversation of era is SO important. It is a conversation of art and imagination between anything before the 80’s and now because they are such, such different games.

C’mon, that’s exaggerating what I said. We know there’s a large contingent out there who’d say, “And Pistol scored that without a three point line,” implying he would’ve scored 5-10 more points a game had there been a three point line at his peak because he bombed from everywhere on the court. I simply provided those stats to show he really wasn’t bombing that much like myths that we’ve heard.
 
There is still a draft going on, right?
 
Getting back to the Maravich discussion, I always assumed that if he played in the modern era he would have put up numbers similar to Allen Iverson at his best and Stephon Marbury at his worst.
 
**** it. I’m gonna organize something like this in a couple of weeks. Current players, picks are redrafts of certain years. Every participant gets every different slot in a different draft, first to last*. Will be for the upcoming season, might even create a proper fantasy league (someone that knows more about those should PM me). 12 players, 12 teams (more or less, but same numbers of teams and players per team), no waiver wire non-sense, a player that’s injured is injured and you dip into your depth.

I’be been thinking about this for a long time but have been wary of adding more pointless responsibility to my life.

*for example, one player gets 1st pick in the 2007 re-draft, 2nd in 2008, 3rd in 2009, etc. Another person gets last pick in 2007, 1st in 2008, 2nd in 2009, etc. Randomize the order of years, create a “best-of-the-rest” year (where Lebron would be, for example).

So like we’d draw the draft the order for the first two round which would be the 80’s? Then we’d draw the order for the next two rounds which might be the 70’s? Like that?

And once a player is drafted he obviously can’t be drafted again...so if you decide to take 80’s MJ, well, he’s ringless and young still, and 90’s MJ can’t be taken.


Like this?

Pistol was a knock down shooter. His last year, first with a 3pt line he shot over 60% though he didn’t shoot many because he was over the hill
