That pick makes sense in both ways anyway though.
Bird peak and Duncan's peak are pretty similar in quality of play but Duncan definitely did it over a longer period.

just like why a team of washed up players is winning the 2015 redraft 80% of the time on the simulation
its not about who you think is actually the best player, its understanding the winning process and exploiting it

Yeah, my point was that Duncan's longevity was almost like a tiebreaker for me. All things equal, that made a difference.
Injuries are a part of the game, of course, but it isn't McGrady's fault he got injured so often.. it doesn't change his ability or talents, just his accomplishments.

Thats why I don't want to dismiss it out of hand but...but that "carry" narrative is used so often.
Pistons were great because of their defense and redounding but stuff like that never gets rememebred

I think the injured ankle, Finals takeover game carries all that weight. Might be the only game he ever carried the team, but it was one of the most watched Pistons games of all time, so it stuck.

CP - how heavily does an EXTREMELY accomplished international career play into the re-draft? My possible selection played in the NBA, but was much better internationally.
*no, it's not Melo.

if take Phil Jackson can he be my coach as well?
or If I take Pat Riley can he run the team as well?

It's game, IMO. Who does, and doesn't have game? Everyone in this thread knows who has/had game. Who can play, who can't, what can they do, how do they fit your roster? Etc.
As an example, I will drop a name that isn't really likely in this draft, if you have a bunch of scorers/shooters, perimeter guys, and need a big that just does two things, and you take Kwame Brown. Can he do that job? Defend and rebound, all he has to do for your particular roster? Then you make your case based on what you know/have seen or read.
So if the sensitive little Euro you want to take is on the board, by all means take him and have the info to back up what you plan on usin him for. Majority of us in here should know if you're stretchin his truth out a lil bit, or if he really could be a valuable contributor in an All Time lineup.

Don't get how people can't tell this is a DRAFT.
Debate undrafted players in the NBA thread.

I think I know who you're talking about and if it's him I love the idea.

I don't know how the judging will work, but if anyone 'gets' Kwame, they will get all of my last place votes, for everything.
They will get my last place vote for PG, regardless of who all of their PGs are.
Everything.
For every category, I will automatically list that person's team last, then go up.
