    Jamison and Carter played together at UNC.
    Sam Perkins and MJ played together
    Juwon Howard and Chris Webber (and Jalen Rose)
    Did McHale play with Mychale Thompson? At MIN?

    Damn you are good - I had forgotten about the Fab 5. If that team could not do it I doubt any other even comes close.

    I'll take Shabazz and you can take the Nerlens who looks like the love child of Kid from Kid n' Play and a catfish. The guy sounds about as articulate as a catfish as well, but he is gonna be one rich catfish pretty soon. :p

    We would need a center. And Nerlens is ranked higher. Shabazz doesn't have the potential Nerlens Noel has.

    I would do it if we could put them in the time capsule of Dragon Ball Z and train them furiously for a year in a day.

    Speaking of Kentucky Wildcats roster, The "Larry Bird's Not Walking Through That Door" '98 Celtics already tried this

    AND with the Kentucky Wildcats COACH Rick Pitino

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/BOS/1998.html

    Code:
    8	Antoine Walker	F	6-8	224	August 12, 1976	1	University of Kentucky
    5	Ron Mercer	G-F	6-7	210	May 18, 1976	R	University of Kentucky
    0	Walter McCarty	F	6-10	230	February 1, 1974	1	University of Kentucky
    34	Reggie Hanson	F	6-8	195	October 6, 1968	R	University of Kentucky

    And how did THAT end up?

    The Rockets front office would trade the entire roster for Anthony Davis alone. So yes, of course.

    You are very wrong my friend. Scouts believe that Shabaz is the BEST 2 Gaurd prospect since Kobe. The kid was born to score the basketball. Oh ya and hes a lefty:cool:

    Will be a top 5 scorer in the world in the next 3 years. Another reason I would rather make the playoffs this year.

    Let us put things into perspective. There is no one in this draft named LBJ. Nuff said. Don't lay your lack of knowledge and intelligence out for everyone to see. It is embarrassing.

    Donatas is a talented player, but he's not the transformative player that Anthony Davis is/will be. I shouldn't have even bothered with this dumb comment but I will. Davis is the first "no-brainer" #1 pick since Blake Griffin. A no-brainer #1 pick is highly regarded as the gold mine, of all gold mines in the NBA market outside of trading Andray Blatche for Lebron James. As high as I am on Donatas, he is in NO WAY anywhere close to a "no-brainer" #1 pick in a good draft.

    How is Davis a lock to be a superstar? The guy who he most reminds me of is Marcus Camby. Will he even end up as good an NBA player as Camby? Maybe he will but he's certainly no lock to be a superstar. There's no way to know how much his offense will develop and unless it gets much better then he won't be a superstar.

    If the high school Lebron James was in this draft going against Anthony Davis at this point I sincerely think there would be GM's that might actually take Davis over Lebron due to what he has done on the college level and where Lebron was showing his talents in AAU. You obviously haven't paid a lick of attention to college basketball this year.

    No, you think he Looks like Marcus Camby. Obviously you havent seen him play this year much if you would even think twice as to compare him to Marcus Camby.
