2017 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I am in this same boat. I want to play in the current draft one. Its too hard to compare players of different bb eras.

This. Too much recency bias and too many changes in the game in the last 50 years to compare players from era to players from another. Would Steph Curry score 100 points per game pre 1980, or would he be out with injuries due to the physical nature of the game back then and the far less-used ref whistles? No one can tell and the arguments become vapid as a restult, so people vote for the names they know. Boring.

I don't do this just to win, I'd be lying if I said I didn't try, but the real fun is in building a legend team through a draft and Wheeling in dealing, and learning the history of many of the greats. It's nice to get votes and stuff but it's at the bottom of the list as to why the all time draft is the best jazzfanz summer time game.

Have you ever participated in one of the all-time drafts?

Nope for that reason. You simply cannot compare the players. The game is so different and most of us didnt watch Wilt and other greats actually play. Little things like the hand checking rule have completely changed things. I am just not a fan of comparing different eras of basketball. But I will participate in voting and throw out some opinions.

I am looking forward to the current players one after and will participate.

You had no problem building a team before. The problem is when people don't win or don't get the votes they thought they should they get butt-hurt.

Nah. All time draft sucks. I'll play current draft once this is concluded.

You have played the last few years. Losing every year getting to you?

Couldn't have said it better myself. And I've won this one before. There's no way we should limit this thing to post 80's players. I've learned SO much about the history of the NBA because I do this thing every year.

I think u and others over analyzing this. Most of the best players drafted at the top are 90's era players who would've fit in today's game, and there ar 60's, and 70's era players scattered that could've dominated today, like Wilt and chamberlain. West was a lights out shooterin the Curry mold, and Baylor would've been the perfect playmaking 4 in today's game

Personally I enjoy the all time draft more then the current draft. For those that have never done the all time draft, try it. U will get into it big time and enjoy the draft and talking basketball and the history of the game. Id stake my life in every one of u loving it and having fun.

I'm just trying to get more people to play. We usually only do this with 12 teams but I would love to try it with 16.

Not a chest thump at all. I've never made it to the finals let alone won one of these.

We almost have everyone back from last year minus Siro and Jeffrey. We added Cy too. That alone is a plus.

Speaking of that, [MENTION=1427]Jeffrey32[/MENTION] you in?
