I sure hope not. The suspense may kill me though...

Did Thee Jazz Fan die?

Haha... I think he's still deciding... why is it that it's always his turn to pick when he's at work? LOL ... he's probably gonna think about it while driving home and make the pick when he got home like last time...


Part of the fun bro... part of the fun

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

With the 63rd pick thee jazz fan selects g/f Alex English.

One of my favorite all timers. No one had a mid range game quite like Alex. Very smooth with a very high release. It was an absolute weapon and the scoring king of the 80's. An often forgotten HOF'er. Was going to pick him later but didn't want to risk losing him.

Alex English
Alex English was the NBA's most prolific scorer during the 1980s and retired as the seventh-leading scorer with 25, 613 points. After being underutilized by the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers during his first four years in the league, English became the most explosive member of a high-powered Denver Nuggets team that consistently ranked among the league's top-scoring clubs. The sleek, 6-7 forward became the first player ever to string together eight straight 2,000-point seasons. more...

Although English was never a media darling, those in the know were well-acquainted with his brilliance. NBA scout Marty Blake told the Dallas Times Herald in 1990: "The thing that hurts Alex, at least when you try to compare him with the greats, is that he isn't flamboyant. And his nagging problem is that he doesn't get much recognition. [But] I've been associated with 18 players who made the Hall of Fame, and I think Alex is one of the great ones."

Great pick, by the way. Highly underrated. Would have taken him myself if he slipped some more.

Everyone needs to watch this vid. Sure most don't know much about Alex English and how great he really was. Best kept secret star.

Glad I took him here then and didn't wait.

Seriously considered Harden before going with English

I think you should go watch videos on my players. You'll enjoy them.

Lots of good guys at this point, I think you made the right call as you already have Westbrook to handle the ball off the bench. Somewhat ironically I don't really like the Westbrook/Harden combo too much as I think they overlap quite a bit.

 

[Siro]

I totally forgot Harden existed.

 

[The Midnight]

White Choc gave me a list of who he wants... should I go ahead and make the pick or should I wait for him?


I swear I saw him online just now.
