Jazzfanz ALL-TIME Fantasy Draft

The picks are updated.

Carter fits better with my team than English or Hill because he was a far better 3 point shooter, and I really want shooting to spread the floor for my bigs. I also think he moved the best without the ball of those three, which is good since I'll want the ball in Lebron's hands a lot of the time. Also, I'm not sure how many voters will see Hill. Yes, he was amazing at the beginning of his career, but not everyone is going to immediately think of him that way before they vote. I felt Carter was a better fit, and a safer pick due to the potential confusion over Hill.

I can't believe this guy fell all the way to 60. In 1970, he was the first player ever to be named All Star, Regular Season, & NBA Finals MVP in the same season.

Reed also beat out Wilt Chamberlain in game 4, but went down in game five. In game 6 without Reed in, Wilt went off for 45 points. That's how dominant Willis Reed was in 1970.

The Night Willis Fought the Entire Laker Bench…and Won!

During the third quarter, a Knick was shooting two foul shots. After the second shot went up, naturally, LaRusso and Reed began jockeying for position and Reed felt that LaRusso hit him with one elbow too many, so after LaRusso turned to head up court, Reed tangled up with him a bit. LaRusso responded by throwing a haymaker at Reed. The problem for Reed was that this was taking place directly in front of the Lakers’ bench, so quickly a bunch of Lakers race on to the court.

When Reed turned to respond to LaRusso’s missed haymaker, Laker center Darren Imhoff (a former Knick #1 draft pick that I also featured in the same Unsung Knick History piece I did on Barnes that you can read here) grabbed Reed from behind, ostensibly to break up the fight. Well, LaRusso took this opportunity to tag Reed with a punch. This enraged Reed. He slugged Imhoff, dropping the big man to the ground. He then chased LaRusso to the Lakers bench and got in two mighty shots in LaRusso’s face. At this point, Laker rookie forward John Block ran up, also ostensibly to play peacemaker. Well, Reed responded with a left hook that broke Block’s nose. Imhoff came up again and Reed punched him in the eye, sending a bleeding Imhoff into a bunch of Lakers. By this time, Reed’s Knick teammates had arrived, as well, and it was a full-fledged brawl (Knick guard Em Bryant, in particular, was jumping all over Lakers). Reed caught LaRusso one more time, knocking him to the ground. Reed was also throwing any other Laker who came at him to the ground, including Laker center Hank Finkel...

Reed later told his teammates that they should never try to restrain him in a fight, and his reasoning would explain why he became so enraged when Imhoff restrained him while LaRusso took a shot at him (well, a reason beyond the straightforward “it is not cool to be restrained by a guy while his teammates hits you”) and that was that he was restrained once during a fight when he was in college and someone in the crowd took the chance to throw a bottle at him. So Reed warned his teammates that if they ever tried to restrain him, well, they could expect a little of what he gave to the Lakers.

I looked hard at Willis Reed for my PF, but at 6'9" and 235 lbs, I didn't think he was big enough to match up against David Robinson and Tim Duncan. Would take him over Rodman though.

Also the Reed vs. Wilt thing was in 1970 when Wilt was 35 years old.
 
Time to overdue an already nasty front line.

He wasn't built like a brick **** house because God ran out of straw, so He made him out of granite instead. The first ever quadruple double in NBA history, it's truly shameful he played before blocked shots showed up in the stat column. This man stood at 6'11" without shoes and was strong as an ox, had great hands, ran the floor like Karl Malone, had a complete offensive arsenal including outside shooting, hook, & turn around baseline fadeaways. Nate Thurmond did all the intangibles too. He was an excellent passing center & the best screen setter of his era. They said when Thurmond set a screen not even a forklift could get through it.

Kareem Abdul Jabar said Thurmond was the toughest guy he ever faced.

The only downside to my pick is he would make LeBron James feel good about his receding hairline.
