to me here (and only here, Cap is the GOAT irl) Shaq > Kareem because usage is a little higher and his 'positional scoring gravity' (trademark pending) is more significant (Cap is like a 50-50 guy and Shaq makes you have to think about playing D into the paint) while all else is more or less equal

I love Durant. I would not take him over Shaq or KAJ in this format, though. I can't believe KAJ fell all the away to 8th after I made the finals with him last season.

Having taken Durant, though, Erving is a great complement. He fell awfully far. Arguably he should go before Pippen, who I took a number of picks earlier, though I would have been in trouble in terms of threes.

Was hoping to pair Erving with Wilt. Would not work in RL but would be interesting here. Then again, would create cap issues.

I personally favor Kareem over Shaq, but absolutely 100% after Wilt, LeBron, Curry in that order.

I look at it in tiers for the most part

Wilt
LeBron
Curry

Shaq
Kareem

MJ
Giannis

Dwight
CP3
Karl Malone

Gets real muddy after that. AD/KD/Barkley, etc. highlight the next tier but I could probably fit 10 or so guys in there to be interchangeable with them depending on what mood I'm in.

I'd switch Mailman and MJ, and there isn't much difference between tiers 3 and 4.

you are if you are not going to take the field like an actual player, get yourself a freakin' glove

a chimp can manage a damn AL team

again - Edgar and Papi beg to differ. Edgar with The Double and the .933 career OPS, c'mon, field shmield

look, I'm all for employing the differently abled but... seriously how hard is it to play right field? I could probably still do it and I'm an old fart in my 50s

what's your career OPS cope? is it .933? are you in the Hall of Fame? k then

are we talking beer league softball because watch yourself....

or did you have the greatest age 40 farewell tour of all time? 1.021 OPS at age 40 out of Fenway? perhaps not
