    Magic Johnson was a horrible defender at PG. The Lakers illegally played Zone D most of the time to hide that deficiency.

    One thing Nash does have that other PGs don't is his long range shot.

    I don't know if it makes up for his defensive deficiencies, but it is a unique skill that is a positive when building a roster like this.

    I thought about Walton over Rodman, but went with the Worm for the boards.

    Walton was too good to pass up.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dailydime-GreatestCenters

    7th best C all-time (ahead of DRob, LOL)

    BILL WALTON

    [​IMG]
    Dick Raphael/NBAE via Getty Images


    Teams: Portland Trail Blazers (1974-1978), San Diego Clippers (1979-1980, 1982-1984), Los Angeles Clippers (1984-1985), Boston Celtics (1985-1987) Titles: 2 (1977, 1986)
    Honors: Two-time All-Star; Finals MVP (1977), MVP (1978), Sixth Man of the Year (1986), Hall of Fame
    The player: Still the greatest passing big man the game has seen. His combination of passing, passion and fundamentals elevated his teammates and the league.
    Injuries hampered his career, but when he was healthy he was fantastically deadly. He gave defenses every reason to double-team him, but punished them for doing so better than anyone. His selflessness helped the Blazers win their only title.
    There quite simply haven't been many better at making others better.

    Moncrief was a very nice pickup...I was hoping he'd fall, but I guess you geezers would remember..

    With Kobe on your team? Not even close.

    Carter doesn't need the ball in his hand a million hours a day either.

    It's a shame that neither of my last two picks are in the HOF. I hope that gets corrected one day.

    We're not talking about Kobe here. It's about Iverson and Carter. In an all-time fantasy draft, I'd much rather pick Iverson before Carter anyday.

    Nash is a SG-SF? Lol. Keep track of the point.

    Stop overrating Vince Carter. He has done nothing to deserve as much respect as your giving him.

    Stop overrating Iverson, he makes the offense stagnant and Carter's Assist-Turnover ratio owns him too.

    Iverson carried a team full of stiffs to the NBA finals.

    You think Vince is going to do the same with a better supporting cast in NJ this season?

    Eastern conference?

    He barely got by Vince, who had:

    Antonio Davis, 35 year old Mark Jackson, and a 37 year old Charles Oakley as his best teammates.

    So you admit Iverson with nobody gets by Vince with nobody.

    Bobby Jones and Michael Cooper great picks.

    Cooper about the same as Vince. Jones the best defensive PF maybe in history, certainly of his time. He was on my short list but Walton too good to pass up.

    It was a seven game series and he had homecourt... And he shot disgusting again throughout the playoff run.

    Iverson has been MVP. Second in DPOY, ROY, All-Star MVP (That doesn't matter), All NBA 1st Teams. Carter hasn't been anywhere close. Iverson has done much more with his team than Carter would've done. Put Carter on the Sixers instead of Iverson, and I still don't think Carter could lead them to the Finals.
