Re: Bush4Ever's Official All-Time Great Basketball Draft Event!
We should get back to talking basketball in my opinion.
It's interesting basically none of the old-old school has been picked yet.

Wilt and Russell have been selected. But honestly, at least for me personally, last time I participated in one of these drafts I selected Wilt and that queer Ghostown adjusted his stats for pace and it made ol’ Wilt the Stilt kinda pedestrian (at least by elite big man standards). So that kinda jaded me when it comes to picking old school players.

It's somewhat funny to see some modern players picked over guys like West/Oscar.elmouse03 wrote:You mean like 50s? Wilt and Russell were picked.Bush4Ever35 wrote:We should get back to talking basketball in my opinion.

But it's still early, and honesty modern players probably fit better *and* it's just one season, so it makes some sense.

The fact that people cannot distinguish between you being serious and being intentionally stupid/trolling should tell you something.Lamelo_Ball wrote:the bias shown on this place is overwhelming ... people can't even take shit seriously and be honest with themselves.
i'l just go back to trolling with every post. thought i could transition to serious basketball discussions. but like i told grizz in the riley thread. thats simply not possible on angergeneral
this is why realgm is and will always be a better board
Re: Bush4Ever's Official All-Time Great Basketball Draft Event!
My trepidation in picking old-school players is, teams featuring them are probably less likely to win in a vote, since people have greater reservations. Similarly, I think guys who have a non-clutch rep or are perceived as being soft are going to lose out more often than not.

he bulldozes nearly every drive to the basket
and flops... yes... but many other times he finishes.. and in some cases throws nasty dunks down on guys
you totally disrespected everything about james harden and sold my pick out ( one you were going to take LITERALLY a few selections prior had giannis been taken by hawks
and why? because i said curry would drive half as much with handchecking/elbows/oldschool rules... he'd still dominate on the perimeter. i thought him being a 5th pick was way too high... but i was atleast being honest with myself
you on the other hand totally lied to yourself and sold out a guy you liked.... i've made my POV CLEAR on here about curry MANY TIMES.... it shouldn't even have come as a surprise or an attack. you shouldn't have gottens so fucking offended
you and others here ruined the league... i hope you feel proud

I didn’t sell out anyone you mangina. I said Harden’s a flopper and that’s an opinion I’ve had for years now. I also think CP3 is a fucking flopper, but so what? He’s still an elite point guard. You tried to sell Harden as this beefcake badass who crushes people in the lane, but anyone with a brain knows that that’s bullshit. Yes he can finish strong and yes he draws contact, but you’re way overstating just how much he does.
And your opinion of Curry is fine but most don’t agree with it. Dude’s in the ‘80s and ‘90s weren’t just magically stronger and tougher “because”, there’s just no argument for that. You had a great team but you bowed out, which is hilarious because you automatically stacked the deck by giving yourself the #1 pick lol

Like to see Harden try to bulldoze over the likes of Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Wade, and Giannis.

The fact you call yourself retired, rather than unemployed is very telling. People who retire early because they can financially travel the world, eat at great restaurants and truly enjoy life. You're stuck at home playing video games, eating fast food, hanging with trailer trash.
You're a loser Griff, a deluded loser who is merely existing, in a clinically depressed state.

harden has been disrespected the last 3 years more than anyone... people are actually saying him winning mvp this year would be out of pitty for being snubbed a few times
even with the #1 record averaging 31/5/9 with a 30.5 PER and a higher point per shot average than jordan ever record ( .10 points higher infact )
its actually ludicrous ... and sure hes had holes in his game before but hes a good defender now
its actually insane how much people ripped on his defense in recent years while simultaneously sucking off lebron ( who hasn't played a lick of defense for a long time now ) .... infact its a forgotten thing among many
voters leaving him off the 3rd team all nba in 2016 while averaging 29ppg, 6rpg, 8apg, 2spg on 44%fgs 38%3's 87fts ... the rockets made the playoffs ... sure they weren't a contender with soft ass howard. but what did people expect. the next best guy was patrick beverly
i thought the harden hate was finally dying down. but sure enough because i picked him everyone hates him again
