I can vote if you guys want me to, but for All-Time Drafts I usually don't just because I don't know as much about All-Time. Its taken me a lot of research to get through this draft
I don't buy that. I think LCAhmed has a lot of talent and I have no doubt that his team can win. So the final result is fair enough. But I don't buy the Webber thing or spacing. It's obviously great to have 3pt shooting at every position. But Webber has a very solid mid range shot, and he's a great athlete, ball handler and possibly the best passing PF of all time. Shaq in the low post, Webber in the high post. It's kind of like saying that Odom-Bynum wouldn't work. Or Shaq-Garnett. Overall, I'd say my team clearly has better spacing. Not just more shooting ability. But there are also secondary factors to great spacing. Passing ability, ability to draw double teams, off the ball movement. I think my team has advantage in all these categories. The other team has Hayes (a black hole), Ewing (tunnel vision, couldn't see open teammates), less shooting. So I doubt that spacing is why I would lose. I do have a PF with a ton of range on the bench (Sheed). But I just couldn't bring myself to start him. Webber is just a much better player, an amazing high post player. I think his offense complements Shaq very well. I don't think that you have to pair a low post guy with a stretch 4, or you lose. Anyway, the other team has Jordan and a lot of talent overall. So I thought it would be 50/50 from the start. Just not for those reasons.
Yeah, don't worry about it. Vote. This is the last remaining matchup, you don't have to vote on others: Yung T PG - Chris Paul SG - Joe Dumars SF - Scottie Pippen PF- Shawn Kemp C - David Robinson Bench: Derrick Rose, Manu Ginobili, Chris Bosh vs JMC Pg Jason Kidd Sg Vince Carter Sf Larry Bird Pf Kevin Mchale C Alonzo Mourning 6th man James Harden Wing Alex English Big Vlade Divac
Not going to lie, when I saw your team during matchups, I was definitely worried. You always have good teams built and you know you basketball well. Unfortunately people tend to think primarily on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all time greats. I agree Webber is a great passer, has a great mid range jumper, and a freakish athlete. If he didnt get injured, he might be up there with Dirk, KG, and Timmy. You have one of the most intriguing teams this draft. Crazy that we matched up in the first.
Offense - JMC Defense - Yung T BC - T FC - JMC Bench - Yung T Tough matchup, love Tizzle's defense but I am not sure if he has enough star power to keep up with JMC. Not that his team can't score, but I don't think he has enough dominant players to pull it out in the end of games. I also like Mourning on Robinson.

Yeah, but its not a math test. Yung T had a great team and was better in more aspects IMO, but JMC's offense and frontcourt advantages are great enough to win.

Note: I would start Ron Artest in this matchup so I would have someone to put on Jordan. Traveling in a couple of hours. Will definitely vote before them.
LCA This one was really hard to judge. I like LCA's team more just Jordan and Stockton combo is pretty wicked. It's like paxson/Kerr took a mixture of drugs to become a superstar. Jordan /stock. Here I like VBG's post players better. Although pretty short for an all time draft squad (I'm also including VBG's bench big) . I find their playmaking abilities better than Ewing-Jamison-Hayes and o'neal . JMC Note: was a tough choice and I like both teams. Probably the best spacing teams in the draft. Although here i liked JMC's wing defense ability to contain better than VBG's wing D. I also noticed I liked VBG's post Better than JMC. Also note that these two teams whom capable of great team ball chemistry. VBG has spot up shooters with the whole Payton/Malone pick with Kareem there in the post to putback or back out for his famous sky hook when defenders are drawn to the pick & roll.i like JMC you got vince creating plays or Kidd making play passing the ball. I can imagine backdoor passes and oops from Kidd to carter. Carter would make a great cutter off an off ball screen or off ball screens for Larry. We've also seen a Larry/Mchale combo live and what their capable of. Just great team ball. Difference here I don't see how Zo can handle Kareem after all that offense from Payton Malone and elite shooters. I really like both teams but I'll take VOA here with a very very slight edge. BYE Note: Brian cook for MVP. No one can stop brian cook. Horrys entire team caught swine flu.
