he's not going to get a championship in any league either ;)

I have said this privately but here’s my perfect storm scenario:

bds wins the savage crown while still not winning a championship. That would be gold - winning arguably the hardest thing to win on this site (savage crown) while still coming up short on rings...and it’s fairly possible too.

lol, That would be very difficult considering each ring is 20 points plus all the 2-point playoff wins to get a ring.
He could win the regular season point total though. That and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee.

If he got all 5 in and took like 4 of them to the finals it could work

he's got a chance in at least 2 leagues for a ring, and a real shot in world 2 which is where 12-13 Lebron is. Luckily not where my strongest teams are.

that would be a better performance than either Kinoa, you, me, or Ben. That would take a miracle. Do you believe in miracles?

at the end of the regular season Lebron's value over replacement in the Savage leagues has got to be over 15 wins/points per league. (which would be an NBA record in every season).

He's pretty awesome.

I'll definitely try to duplicate this success next season. If I get a top 3 pick again I'll trade down.

With that said, he's not an MVP in any league.

I don’t intend for this to sound like sour grapes or a dig, but having LeBron in 5 leagues in an uncapped format is such an enormous advantage that I was foolish to not have you in the top ten.

I got so much flack over Cheeks and Westbrook from quite a few of you.

Now I just gotta catch pexetera somehow. This is amazing; I didn’t see this coming.

Congrats. That’s why I said you should’ve just told critics that you’ll see them on the court. You’re killing it so far.

This. This always. Just kick the people who dislike your picks’ ***** instead of explaining to them why they’re wrong. It’s much more impactful to look at the top 24 and see you in the top 3. Keep it up. Also be careful bragging; WIS hears... and interferes...

Book it, Dano. dBKC wins world 2.

15-16 Steph vs 12-13 Lebron. Both set to 48mpg. That would be a great finals.

Somebody’s gotta get out of that division first, and I don’t think the rest of them are going down without a fight.

Whoever gets out can meet the Norse gods and me at the very end of the season ;)

I'm pretty sure I wasn't in your top ten because, you know, it's me. Maybe Dan Majerle had something to do with it. You knew I had LeBron, but you thought I could sufficiently self-sabotage. It's all right, I know I suck at this, no offense taken.

*proceeds to lose 20 straight in each league*

I had you in my top 10. I didn't have you at 2nd. The Lebron pick was draft luck. The Capela pick was good, I didn't mind Cheeks either, he's certainly not undraftable. Derrick Favors was a good pick. The Ewing pick was questionable as a 2nd rounder, but then again Ewing tends to exceed expectations when I'm playing against him.

Just to be very clear, I did not have myself at 2nd either.

I would've been happy with top 15.

It does feel good. Thanks to those who have congratulated me, and well, yeah, that's pretty much all that need be said about that. Let me go win something before I say anything else, yeah? We haven't even hit the 20th game yet.

I liked ~8 of bds9992's picks and some of them a lot. I would have posted that much sooner but there are like 97 pages of reasons why that never happened. I thought there were a lot of sensible picks with the big men along with Christie.

#2 is admittedly significantly higher than I would have guessed, but top 10 is not out of line. Honestly, you may have to be self sabotaging to do too poorly with LeBron in this format. The only other surprise to me is 20ks but he is doing great.

Surprised dh555 and ashamael aren't doing better.... yet.
