Jazzfanz ALL-TIME Fantasy Draft

[spycam1]

Shilling. You think I forgot Allen existed? Come now.

You didn't forget, just like ECTYA didn't forget about Magic Johnson.

(This is all in fun, Reggie and Ray are obviously very similar players. But I do think Allen was slightly better.)

 

[spycam1]

I would probably take Reggie Miller over Ray Allen, but it's a close call.

I would also rather have Duncan than Robinson and Mourning than Ewing. I'd rather have Numb's combo because Duncan can actually play PF naturally. I'm not psyched about Robinson as a PF because he can't really put the ball on the floor or hit jumpers from more than a couple spots.

I can totally understand Duncan over Robinson, but not Mourning over Ewing.

Just a little warning, I'll be fairly busy tomorrow, so I don't know how well I'll be able to update the first post with the picks. I'll get on as I can, but just bare with me.

Night all.

You did very well at moderating this so far, we'll try to keep it that way in your absence.

Why'd you call nightmare a female horse?

I was thinking more of the dark area on the moon.

For his sake, I'm hoping he just left out the apostrophe. Like he meant to say 'mare.

Yes, yes, it's definitely true.

Sorry, but there is no way that Niko Galis was better than Dirk Nowitzki is. Dirk is approaching top 20 NBA all time status. Sabonis may have achieved that had he been allowed to come over in the 80's (before his Achilles injury). Petrovic was a great shooter, but I don't think I'd put him above Dirk, either.

That's the main difference between you and us sir, our viewpoint isn't just NBA-focused. Not to mention that they are vastly different players, in terms of playing positions. However, of course I respect your opinion even though I kindly disagree.

This is just silliness. Ewing could very well have played power forward if he had a David Robinson behind him. He was that gifted offensively. The only category Duncan beats him in is rebounds per game & championships. Ewing was a blocking nightmare in a center dominated era. Duncan can't put up Ewing numbers against midgets. Ewing could also grab a steal and go coast to coast, & is one of the best mid-range shooting big men of all time.

Championships might place Duncan higher on the all time greats list but that doesn't mean he was a better player than Ewing.

WhiskyPriest's team is looking pretty damn good.

Enes CanTear You Apart, thanks for backing my up on the Euro thing. Some Euro's are very overrated and there are a handful that if they had the chance to play in the NBA extending years in their prime they would be talked about as top for their position.

I thought nightmare and ugli had the strongest starts, but I am questioning the ability of their later picks from the early days of the league to compete against modern players.
IMO, the biggest steals so far have been Kareem and Durant, but leaning towards agreeing with Wade > West/Cousy. , + therefore liking Shaq/Durant/Wade chances.

(although, seriously, any of the teams could compete, it is all very speculative)
