*****All-Time NBA Players Peak Draft*****

[QUOTE=John8204;14629786]Not on the court...you've got a big three that at the end of their careers were contending for titles. Kobe is always going to be a problem but I'm matching him with Jerry and Wilt...the most athletic center of all-time and his mentor. And both of those men changed their style of play based on whom they were playing with.[/QUOTE]

They were contending and mostly losing in the 60s, early 70s

It's true Wilt changed his game later as more of a distributor, but his peak was in the early 60s. other than maybe Jerry there's no great outside threat, and a lot of ball dominant guys who aren't particularly great passers... so the complimentary skills aren't great outside of the high usage scoring

Plus Barkley is a liability on D at a premium position

Just my 2 cents. Not trying to hate

[QUOTE=John8204;14629788]True...but if you are taking Reggie Miller in the fifth round and Kyle Korver...Pete was one of the true great shooters[/QUOTE]
I was just speaking on that posters pick. He said he wanted some one one can play D and shoot 3s.

The guy that before he was the logo was known as "Mr Outside" wasn't an outside threat

I said other than Jerry, and there wasn't a 3pt line in his day so we don't know how could he'd be. I certainly give him the benefit of the doubt though

Imstillballin on the clock

My last pick is Michael Cooper. The perfect 3&D player that rounds out my team perfectly.

Shaquille O'Neal // Patrick Ewing
Bill Russell // Karl Malone
Scottie Pippen // Shane Battier
Reggie Miller // Michael Cooper
Steve Nash // Mark Price

Going ABA with my final pick. Probably the most underrated center ever, especially on the defensive end.

Artis Gilmore.

- 1972 ABA MVP (Over Rick Barry & Julius Erving)
- 1975 ABA Champion
- 5x All-ABA First Team
- 4x All-ABA Defensive First Team (1 all-defensive team in the NBA)
- 11x All-Star (5 in the ABA. 6 in the NBA)
- 4x ABA rebounding champ

His team ranked 2nd to worst in defense the year before he got there in 1971. In '72, Gilmore in his rookie year anchored them to a #1 defense and 68 wins (44 wins the year before). In his 5 years in the ABA, his team ranked #1 on defense 3 times, the other 2 times they ranked #2. Massive defensive impact in his prime, also extremely efficient on offense, always around 55 fg%.

C - D. Robinson | A. Gilmore
F . R. Wallace | C. Bosh
F - Kawhi | Pierce
G - MJ | R. Allen
G - Stockton | W. Frazier

Last pick of the draft...Who gets in? Deep divin' right now boys. Uno momento

Danny Green is a good pick if you need a 3&D swingman. Rick Barry I don't think has been taken yet either.

I'm stuck on Glen Rice and Vince Carter at the moment. Deep diving...

[QUOTE=Im Still Ballin;14629979]Danny Green is a good pick if you need a 3&D swingman. Rick Barry I don't think has been taken yet either.[/QUOTE]

I was thinking good shooter that can go off (like Rice or Carter). Green's scoring is too limited and Rick Barry I thought about too but he can't shoot 3s and is a bit of a ball hog :lol

Thinking about just polling ISH to which has the best team, maybe have two separate groups, winner of each group meets in the championship for another poll. 9 teams won't really work if we do team vs team matchups.

Green is also pretty streaky and overrated as a defender. Good thoughts

I think either way I'll be penalized cause people hate me on here lol.

If anyone has a real gm account they could post the teams and they would give an unbiased vote/ranking
