Well, I'm glad I don't have to run into either of these teams in the first round...

Really close, but went with team 6 because while that guy picked two point guards, one was a top five player of all time. On top of that, he picked Hakeem and McHale, perhaps the two greatest post players in history, and Unseld is a sick bench pick. Worthy is a great complementary player, although he's outclassed by the others.

Wilt the Stilt + Kobe = sick, but I like the other team a bit better.

I picked 6 too. Team 4 is an assortment of chuckers. I'm not all that high on AI or Rick Barry. Barry is sort of hard to analyze due to his ABA years and era he played in (mega fast pace), but other than one sick year where he shot 51% and had a TS% of 61%, he shot poorly and turned it over a lot. That's always been AI's game, too.

I'm probably underestimating Wilt, though. I think Unseld can probably body him up some at least.

apparently you guys have never heard of Elvin Hayes. Easily top 10 of all-time.

No, not really. I mean he's awesome and all, but his rebound stats are inflated by the era he played in. His early mega-scoring stats are because he shot a ton. He's got a pretty pedestrian FG%/TS% for a dominant big man. Top 10 is pushing it big time.
