I want to watch and think about games that matter, where players and fans care about wins and championships. I couldn't be bothered to watch / research the D-League. I don't think it's any good anyway. A few guys make the NBA, there are some prospects and a few NBA folks who come back from injuries and play into shape in the D-League. But mostly it's young kids who are happy to make less than a truck driver in Lithuania. I don't get why some of those guys play in the D-League for years. If they are any good, they should go to any average European league and make more money.
True, maybe the Dleague aint that interesting to you all as it is to me. Fair enough. International basketball, however, should be the focus doe.
With the Rox, the players were just forced to play in the Dleague, most of them were ok with it. Roy Hibbert talked about it and never wished to be drafted by the Rox. Well documented.
This is tough. Shaq vs. Hakeem is even, comes down to backup point guards, and ? looks like a bad matchup for Jerry West. Will think more about these tomorrow, got to sleep.
Lol he can't outscore me and I am too long for him but you do your own evaluation, thx. 7'3 7' 6'11 Front court. Tallest in this game. Jerry West is a Top 11 Guy of Alltime, oh boy. Bad matchup? If I go down, I go down with the most talented team! Champion of Hearts!!! Rudy rolls over in his grave, wait...... Pssst -- Jerry West was athletic and he was in a couple of All Defensive teams - shushh HAQ A SHAQ, Shaq always lose against Hakeem and Yao. I agree though that Staps, Giannis and Bradley are a tad green behind their ears, but I have enough veterans with championship experience.
The best guys, yeah. But a lot of internationals and NCAA grads stay in that league far too long and can't quit chasing their dream. You should definitely start Jerry West tho.
Shaq? Is the only guy I am worried about. I dun know Donatas, but you dun seem to watch Giannis. The Guy IS A FREAK. The next Best thing IMO. Shaq has problems against Yao and length. And he can be hacked. Although it was a young Shaq, but the Rox swept the Magic and Younger Shaq. I even got Dennis Scott to make a testament. I really hope it is sarcasm. Yung-T's team can slow me down a bit but Oelman's really?! I am filled with talent and still might lose in the 1st round because folks here overrate veterans.
Oilman got George Hill as backup. I checked, Stockton can run that team to perfection but he wasn't a scorer. Shaq isn't as mobile as Malone.
Let's just agree to disagree on baskeball matters. It's alright. Donatas isn't a very good NBA player sorry I had to burst your bubble. 95% of Posters here would say Hakeem is better than Shaq by half a mile. Bill Russell is just a tad better defensively than Hakeem.
Thx, I won't calm. I need to see the Greats again to remind myself. Lwqbulb has an ok team, will be hard to judge. Sweet dreams.
