Attention:

Please keep all discussion in the discussion thread. Keep this thread to picks only.
Thank you.

Also, please draft a player from a certain year. I.E. If you draft Jordan, specify which year you are bringing him back from. (Most likely his best statistical year)

It's also fun to post pictures. I encourage you to do that. =)

For the first pick of this draft, the Washington Bullets select Wilt Chamberlain . . . we will decide whether to use the '62 50/25/2 Wilt or the '67 25/25/8 league champion Wilt when we see what kind of a team we build.

[Carbo04]

With the second pick in the draft the Houston Rockets select the NBA's All-Time leading scorer, 6 time NBA MVP, 6 time NBA Champion, and 2 time NBA Finals MVP...


KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR

I will take him from either his regular season MVP, and Finals MVP 31.7ppg/16.0rpg season of 1970-71, or his MVP 34.8ppg/16.6rpg season of 1971-72. Whichever.

[Seuss]

The Clock is set for 4:12PCT/7:12EST.


Once the clock hits that time, ss03 will be skipped.

[ss03]

I was trying to avoid this, and was kind of hoping he'd be taken in the first two picks; however, it appears as though it must be done.

For the Legends Draft, with their 3rd overall pick, the Toronto Raptors bring



Michael Jordan

to Canada

- - -

As the picture shows, I would like him from when he was playing baseball at his best...

Oh wait, nevermind, I want him from his peak abilities as a basketball player. I'm not going to give a year just yet, but essentially, I want him at the peak of his abilities when he was at his best offensive, defensively, and he had developed that 3-point-shot.

- - -

Dr. Seuss has until 10:08 PM EST / 7:08 PST to make his pick without being skipped.

The Phoenix Suns are proud to select...........

Ervin "Magic" Johnson
