2020 Annual All-Time NBA Draft

[Elizah Huge]

We can’t pick and choose then. Jordan wouldn’t be the same player in today’s NBA. Players back then were horrible compared to today. Imagine 6’3 Byron Russell guarding LeBron.

This is a chicken and egg scenario. Is Dwight simply a better athlete from the level of the DNA or is he just as much a product of the machine that makes athletes into what they are in the modern era? No doubt he would be a stellar athlete, but I think Wilt would be that much better again today with the same modern advantages, for example.

And yes, it is impossible to quantify, it is an interesting thought exercise however.

Wilt dunked so hard, one time he broke someone's foot when the ball hit it.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Why? Because he wouldn't have been able to beat out the other short unathletic white guards of the day?

The 90’s were full of the guys you’re referring to.

I'm referencing Bill Russells supposed comments about Kerr not being able to play in the 60's. Which is idiotic.

I am confused and might need clarification. For starters, Bryon Russell was 6' 7" 225.

Riiight...

Riiight...

It was Johnny Kerr. Kerr didn't want to admit it at first, so he purposefully pretended to trip the next time down the floor and said that's when it happened, but he admitted it after the game.

Wilt also dislocated a dude's shoulder blocking his dunk. Gus Johnson was 6'6", 230 lbs, and Wilt just STOPPED him with one hand on the ball. Didn't bang into him or anything. He used to work out with Arnold Schwarzenneger, and could bench over 500. He was reportedly still benching 465 when he was in his late 50s. He was an absolute freak.

6’3”? Are you even a fan?

 

[Miggs]

I do these drafts to build a team I'd want to see. Idgaf if I draft a guy too high.

These drafts are more fun if you care more about the team building aspect vs the voting.

For love of the game. I can get behind this.

I've got a center and forward, so now I need a guard...
