With my 2nd pick I'll take:

Julius Erving (Dr J)

Julius Erving, the great and wondrous "Dr. J," was the dominant player of his era, an innovator who changed the way the game was played. He was a wizard with the ball, performing feats never before seen: midair spins and whirls punctuated by powerful slam dunks. Erving was one of the first players to make extemporaneous individual expression an integral part of the game, setting the style of play that would prevail in the decades to follow. A gracious, dignified, and disciplined man, Erving was the epitome of class and an ideal ambassador for the game.

Good pick, eddiemac. Dr. J. is truly one of the greats, and should have been picked in the first round.

With my Second Pick I select:

THE ICEMAN

George Gervin


George Gervin's playing record speaks volumes. Only Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan have won more league scoring championships than Gervin's four, and he was the first guard ever to win three titles in a row. His career scoring average of 26.2 points per game is among the game's best as is his combined NBA/ABA total of 26,595 points. During his career, Gervin recorded a remarkable streak of scoring double figures in 407 consecutive games. And he twice placed second in voting for the regular-season MVP Award. But these numbers only begin to tell the story of Gervin's phenomenal pro career. more...

One more thing....can we limit the additional info on these posts. I know how great Bill Russell is, I don't need 5 consecutive posts about him. A pic and some stats will suffice.

AL's All-Time All-Defensive Team:

PG - John Stockton
SG - Mike Jordan
SF - Bobby Jones
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Bill Russell

I agree. I was going to post this earlier, but didn't want to break anybody's balls on a fun thread. But yeah, can we keep this stuff to a minimum?

[JCMElway]

Sure, I agree with the limiting of the descriptions to just one post. If we really want to brag and push our guy I will go ahead and start an All time NBA draft discussion thread.

Also, I have another guy coming in to replace mangoblin. He will make his first pick and then his second pick will be in mangoblin's regular slot.

MP, thanks for the organizing help with the repost of the draft order.

D ROB. Need a C and he is best available. Glad Ewing went before the admiral.

Pick made 2:15 MST or 2015 UTC.

Seems like Ludo got skipped? If I goofed the order I apologize.

[JCMElway]

Hey, BobHorry5 is the new member of the draft. Since he missed the first round he'll make his selection now, then he is up again after Ludo makes his selection.

Here he is, he's posting on my post for now, but will post on his own account once the mods approve him.

Take it away BobHorry5:

My pick is Moses Malone, because Moses can do so many things.

Moses Malone, PF/C, Houston, Portland, Philadelphia

[JCMElway]

Ludo21 is on the clock until 3 PM CST on Wednesday.

I'm taking Manute next...you're stuck with Shawn Bradley.

[-Slap-]

Elgin, Doc or Moses. I was hoping one of them would make it back to me in round two.

. Somebody said that The Admiral was the best center left, and my heart jumped because I thought that Moses was flying under the radar... Although he could be a PF too, so I guess we shall let it pass.

[epicSocialism4tw]

I couldnt believe that you guys passed up Bill Russell in the first round.

He's the only other guy with a stake at #1, I believe.

Russell is everything a center should be and more. Mr. Championship.

I knew he was there and would of taken him or DROB but I think DROB is a C and Malone is more of a PF. If we do a tourney on whatifsports I think it will take stats into account which doesn't always tell the whole story.
