All-Time Basketball Draft DISCUSSIONS Thread

[mania]

I'll see what I can do, maybe in International Basketball Manager, which I bought at a Steam sale and never touched. Maybe there's a mod out there for legends.

[AnythingChicago]

Okay. And, actually, mania I screwed up your roster, and when I went back and fixed them accordingly, you still ended up losing 4-1 (home series) and 4-3 (away series) to Chicago, and lost 4-1 (away series) and 4-2 (home series) to New Jersey. But that could be due to the fact that your minutes preferred weren't listed.

I'll have a Colonels lineup for you later this evening.

[pmoehrin]

I may change up my lineup a little bit.

Playing around with guys from a few different years and think I can improve on what I originally had.

Those are the best years my personal rankings had but WhatIf doesn't agree with them, so I'd like to do it according to what they have.

[Billy B]

Just played out two seven-game series between the Spirits and the Nets. At home, the Spirits won the series 4-1. When the Nets had home court, they took the series 4-2.

Game MVP Breakdown went like this:

Wilt Chamberlain (Nets) - 4

Magic Johnson (Spirits) - 4

David Robinson (Spirits) - 2

Bob Cousy (Nets) - 1

[Billy B]

And just did another home and home seven game series between the Spirits and the Royals this time. The Spirits took their series at home 4-1 and the Royals won their home series 4-2. It seems like What If Sports has home court advantage play a fairly large role in the outcome.

The MVP Breakdown for these two series:

Magic Johnson (Spirits) - 3

Kevin McHale (Royals) - 2

David Robinson (Spirits) - 2

Bernard King (Royals) - 2

Bill Russell (Royals) - 1

Kevin Love (Spirits) - 1

Where do I find WhatIf's rankings? I'd like to do some comparison shopping. I'm thinking of using Kareem's 75-76 season but I'd like to cross reference before I make a decision.

Just go to Dream Teams. Its free to set up an account with them.

I'm not a huge fan of them because 25 points a game from a shooting guard is 25 points a game no matter what year it happened in and your also only looking at one year. At his peak Grant Hill was just as good as Scottie Pippen was, but I don't think anyone is going to disagree with the assertion that all-time Pippen was the by far the better player.

It is the best site I've come across for historical comparisons though.

Can someone help me with the best seasons, I love basketball, but I don't know a huge amount of history.

Go to What If Sports, open an account. Go to the Dream Team draft section and simply search the database for each player on your team. The best season according to What If Sports will be the first one listed.

OK, thanks a lot man. So do you have to pay? If you have to pay, then I'm not doing it.

[GriffinM6]

Alright, how do I go to our league?
