If you were going to build a 10-man lineup out of all the NBA players to have ever played, who would you choose?
To answer that question we will set up a fantasy draft, snake style (whoever picks last in the first round, picks first in the second round).
Who wants to play?
Draft rules:
Draft will be 10 rounds
Snake format
8 hours to make a selection
No trades allowed
Participants:
Hakeem Olajuwon
Manny 98
iamgine
solar.hands

:lol
I'll take Kareem
Are we picking based on a players peak or their entire career?

It's the best lineup right? Not best roster for a long term dynasty.
So I'm thinking peak... who at their best is most likely to help my team win.
To me picking Wade over Kobe for example wouldn't be crazy, even though I'd probably have Kobe at least 10 spots higher on an all time list.
I will stick with best year or peak of the player in question, so there won't be any waffling or inconsistency in head to head matchup. If someone picks Shaquille O'Neal, they shouldn't be able to switch from young athletic Orlando Magic Shaq to dominant but heavy Lakers Shaq to old savvy Miami Heat Shaq at anytime or between matchups. :no:
Since im going emphasize peak more shaq for me
should ask mods to get this thread stickied.
agreed because getting bumped to page 2 of the NBA Forum is instant death.
Only level 10 necromongers can rescue this thread after it's buried 100 pages deep and long forgotten, and only after 5 plus years later. :confusedshrug:
i feel like there's a chance solar wont respond within 8 hrs. He's not too active here
I can take his spot of he doesnt post
Just a heads up, I'll be driving to Winnipeg Thursday night so I won't respond right away. But I'll make sure I check every 4 hours or so. Since I have back to back it looks like I can make 2 consecutive picks right away and sit back for a while
Down to replace inactive posters if it comes to it
The guys posted 400 times in 8 years, we should really consider replacing him. He could easily ghost every time he needs to pick, really delay shit

Yeah, these time wasters are fakkin annoying. I once drafted with a player who was back to back. Time limit was 4 hours. Literally waited 4 hours to make his pick and 4 hours after to make his second in the back to back. Lol. People can be suck douchebags
Call it when you pick if you're committed
I am committed to destroy y'all fool ass.
:kobe:
It's been 8 hours
Either we skip the slowpoke and move on to the next draft pick, or replace the slowpoke with another poster whose ISH addiction is incurable. :oldlol:
Skip him. His replacement can pick twice in the second
I'll take his spot.
With the 4th pick of the All-Time draft I select LeBron James.
