2018 Annual JazzFanz LEGENDARY Players - Round 1 Match 2 - Gandalfe vs addictionary

[gandalfe]

Gandalfe -
Oscar Robertson/ Walt Frazier
Pete Maravich/ Sidney Moncrief
George Gervin/ Andrei Kirilenko
Charles Barkley/ Marcus Camby
Kareem Abdul Jabbar/ Dikembe Mutombo



addictionary -
Isiah Thomas/ Stephon Marbury
Allen Iverson David Thompson
Julius Erving/ Alex English
Elvin Hayes/ Shawn Kemp
Wilt Chamberlain/ Patrick Ewing

Gandalfe’s argument:
My starters have simply overwhelming firepower, from Kareem’s unblockable sky-hook to the amazing craftiness of the Round Mound, Iceman’s 3 consecutive scoring titles, Pistol Pete’s insane ball handling and shooting, and the Big O’s 25 PPG along with 9.5 APG and 6 assist titles (more than anyone except Stockton or Cousy).

But if, somehow, things are going badly? I’ve got insane defense to back them up. (not that the starters are slouches - Kareem is #3 all time in blocks) 7 DPOYs between them (including the first 2), the first non-center to lead the league in blocks (AK47), 9 years leading the league in blocks (including 5 in a row for Mutombo!).

Look. Wilt’s going to get his points, that’s for sure. But nobody else on Addy’s team will be able to outscore their counterparts. My team is the complete package.

Addictionary’s argument:

Starters:

C-Big Dipper

PF-Big E

SF-Dr J

SG-Answer

PG-Zeke



Subs:

Pat

Reignman

Blade

Skywalker

Starbury

 

[addictionary]

I have mostly formed this team out of the interest that I have in streetball. Minority of them might not visit Ruckerpark before, but they are all the milestones of the enthusiasm for basketball with their game styles and have a very good pro career at the same time (sorry Joe Hammond). I mainly want to see these guys play together on court. A damn magical moment to witness.

They will make you fall in love with the game if you go cold on it lately for some reason, e.g. shooting threes all game with borderline D effort.

This competition is full of teams that are stacked to throat. There is little to discuss whether a team has a chance to win it all. They all have. So I wanted to focus on this instead of telling how much my team dominates and stuff.

*Mutombo.

*Mutombo.

Why do my fingers keep doing it that way?

 

[Miggs]

Insanely tough decision for me. I may abstain.

I’d like to hear someone give an objective assessment of the match-up.

 

[LogGrad98]

Oscar and Pete and going to create serious defensive issues for Isaiah and Iverson. I just do not think they can hang. The rest of the starters are almost a wash to me. And there is no way Marbury can go toe to toe with Frazier. Otherwise the benches are pretty evenly matched. I really like addy's team, but I think I have to give the nod to gandalfe on this one.

 

[MVP]

Gandalfe just has more star power. And Jabbar can pretty much negate Addictionary's best player Chamberlain.
