my god that's a brutal oversight by the four of you and you should all be discredited for it and retroactively taunted and booed.
Some more homer picks...
Two guys that would be great on these all time teams would be Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman. You don't need 5 scorers which everyone seems to do when creating these sorts of teams, and if it were even possible to play these games, I think having 5 alpha type players would probably be counter-productive. You need some guys who love to D up and do the dirty stuff and don't care if they aren't the focal point on offense.
Lastly, just saw that Snellings took Manu on his bench. I always liked your segments with Andre but holy smokes, that's a horrendous pick to select Manu in the top 32 of all time!
edit: sort of like when USA wised up and included Bruce Bowen on the national team
you know a guy is an awesome player when one metro area thinks he's awesome, and the rest of the nation HATES him. Not think he sucks or is overrated which would be a different thing entirely, but just truly despises him, to the point that as a result, they collectively memory-hole/dismiss/overlook his skills and accomplishments.
Zeke was that guy. Chicago/Boston/NY/LA, and everyone else, all hated his guts. Love it
with Curry, Harden, Kobe and Wade I didn't need Zeke. Could have used a stretch 3 like Pippen (on whom I got sniped) or a versatile defender/rebounder like Rodman. My team was the best though.
Wade or Harden are absolutely not necessary on that team, and Harden might be a problem in the locker room not getting the usage he wants. It's bizarre that Kobe lasted that long though. I might give you title just for scooping the falling value
edit swap harden for rodman and move kobe to the starting lineup at the 2
Where did Zeke go in that covid Basketball draft? A criminally underrated player. Possibly the best PG ever
undrafted:

I almost took Rodman. Probably should have instead of Wade. Also Jokic undrafted but it was 2020.
yeah not holding Jokic against you.
Zeke on the other hand...
