This thread died after all the high profile picks were gone. We better finish before the finals end or no one is going to finish their picks! lol

or its called the WSOP

WSOP (or any other live tourny) are for fish imo

This thread has been chugging along fine, it's just when people stop picking that we fall into the McHale trap.

BigCat says if you don't score 20ppg, you ain't on my team. I don't really get BC's team just yet, but Im just a caveman, your modern ways frighten and confuse me, I watch your spirit box with the blinking lights and think, "are those little people trapped in that box?"

Clark, if two players have similar bulk stats but one plays less minutes, then which one is more valuable? Obviously you'd like to have more info(such as efficiency stats), but solely based upon that given info, you'd have to say that the one who plays less minutes is more valuable, no?

So you're thereby admitting that heavy minutes can skew bulk stats. Thats all I was saying. Yes obviously its good to play more minutes. However, my point is that the gap between Wilt's bulk stats and the others isn't as big as it appears since to get a true measure you'd have to add the others bulk stats to the average bulk stats of a bench player who replaces them up to the amount of minutes Wilt played.

I agree that the common fan thinks that way. I don't necessarily think that way. For example, I find Hakeem and Robinson to be about dead even, but I think the casual fan overrate Hakeem due to his title runs. I do have Duncan slightly above KG but its not because hes happened to play with more great players and therefore won more titles, as that was complete luck.

this thread died?

yea, sitting in front of a computer all day multitabling is just so much more fun and more profitable than playing in big buy in tourneys with a huge number of bad players.

Hasn't died but lost momentum.

For the life of me, I can't think of a last name that rhymes with catfish.

this imo.

Reggie Lewis pick is pretty grim IMO. Are you really going to play him until he dies, knowing that he has a congenital heart defect that will inevitably lead to his death if he plays sports on a daily basis? I know this is hypothetical, but I would think that knowing what we know now, there is no real person who would sign off on effectively killing a man for 20 ppg.

This doesn't come from a position of ethical superiority at all. Logistically, I just don't think that he ever sees the court in our hypothetical. I would like to see this pick removed and allow BigCat to re-pick b4 mmbt0ne does.

hahah yeah I knew everyone would be trying to figure it out. It's definitley a pretty random last name. I think he's only met one other person that has it.

Damn right they are!

BigCat is confusing the thread with his own draft pick.



Too soon?

lol

ClassicBob comes in and kills it twice, the second time with his avatar, which somehow I've missed until just now.

I posted this earlier regarding Lewis, and I still think the same thing. Good until the heart stops working, nothing (clearly) after that.

upon further research, it looks like his family (and he himself) had a history of heart problems.

the problem with reggie lewis is that with todays doctors, he never plays hoops.

also, he was one of my favorite players as a kid and i was super sad when he died.

how often are these "GMs" going to draft a player - only to say "write up coming later"???

how long does it take to write something up?...explain your pick at least...especially with a pick like Lewis, cmon.

Seriously, I can do a write up in 10 minutes, it's not hard to link a picture and write a couple of paragraphs.

qft this isn't that hard to keep up with
