I wanted to vote Hotttnickkk too because this isn't even close and he could use a little hand, but apparently there are so many light hearted posters here.
To me it was over from the start. Like this *
But when it comes to democracy, you just cannot know...

If I saw my team as kkk's and his the other way around, I would vote for Nick.
It is just too easy.

Addie, you have just too many old era players. Nick's team has very good defenders but amongst the bigs only Mutombo could slow down a prime Sabonis, and that's only a maybe. However, the rest of your roster is also pretty unknown and that makes your job pretty tough.
Btw, this is probably the closest match up of the first round. Thinking the otherwise is only possible with too much bias in my opinion.

Thanks bro, that means a lot honestly.
You can't compare Stauskas to Miller though.
As you've said, making 3's in practice isn't the same in a real game. The same goes with Stauskus making 3's in college - you can't compare that to Reggie Miller's NBA career 39.5% shooting in 1,389 regular season games, and 39% in all of his 144 career playoff games.

I had the knowledge of the possibility that my legendary oldtimers not getting known by many in here and the voters preferring the regular players because they saw them with their own eyes, witnessed them.

I'm not comparing the two, just giving an absurd example to underline the needless motivations to pick up the successor, but apparently you have no trouble taking Reggie above Dr J because Doc shoots worse from beyond the arc and all he does is show off for the cameras according to you.
pippen will neutralize 1 guy for sure. pippen has the length and quickness to make lebron's life miserable. if dr. j gets hot then pippen will change his assignment and shadow dr.j. and then you have young reggie, who is annoying as hell, and can get to your skin.
and let's say pippen fails, reggie gets bulldozed. so what? twin towers is waiting to alter their shots. hotnickkk probably has 4 of the top 10 greatest defender of all time in a same court, and they will make you a jump shooting team from far out. lebron can get hot anytime, but lebron never faced somebody like pippen. IMO, dr. j was a good mid ranger, but not a great one. was he good enough? hell yes. was he MJ like? hell no. but it's not dr. j's fault. he was so athletic that he didn't have to settle for a jumper. he could take it to the rim at will. he was a born playground player and his natural tendency is to make you embarrassed by dunking all over you. that was his game. he attacked and attacked some more. but when you have young timmy & prime mutombo, they will alter dr. j's shot. nobody can truly stop dr. j when he is airborn, but twin towers will make it tough for him in the air.
just a bad draw IMO. bron & dr. J team could beat many other teams for sure.

I cannot believe an MJ admirer like you have nothing to say about the guy who inspired Jordan and inducted him to HoF. Kinda disappointed to be honest.
physical talent wise, dr. J is up there with anybody. but MJ is the super saiyan version of dr. J. also, MJ just had a different mental make up than dr. J. IMO Dr. J is a great player top 15-20 all time. but he is 2 tier below MJ and tier below kobe. i would say dr. J is somewhere between kobe & clyde.

OK. So you don't know my bench? Let me introduce them.
Paul Arizin. He was 6-4 and 190 lbs. Born in Phila, he went to Villanova college, then get selected by Warriors franchise that dwelled in Phila and played 15 professional seasons in his career in the NBA. He tasted one championship in 1956. Has become an All-Star 10 times (was the MVP in 1952). Has made into 3 All NBA first teams and one second. He was the scoring champion 2 times. His career numbers are near 23 points per game, 9 rebounds and more than 2 assists per game. While he was in his sleep, he passed away at the age of 78 in 2006. When he retired, he had the most points per game for career, an important record which will obviously be broken in the near future. He went to Korea to fight for his country. Sat out two seasons. I'm not an American but I know how big sacrifices you have to make to fight for your country.
