Not too shabby.

Plus incredible post skills and the most beautiful bank shot of my generation.

I like him a lot. One of my 'used to be' players I liked a lot in the younger days. Not tops, but close. Easy to like.

I didn't like him at first for whatever reason, but when I got a little older, I would watch him all the time to become a better player.

I see what you did there and I like it.

I remember growing up and thinking Tim Duncan had the biggest nostrils I had ever seen.

Just throwing that in here.

Excellent contribution, as always.

Seriously tho, not sure there has ever been a better true 4 to ever play.

There isn't, IMO.

I'm pretty sure he's the consensus number 1.

We may have had this discussion before, but, switching he and KG's situations makes it interesting.

Then id like to switch Lebron and Jordan's situations

 

[005]

switching somebody (lebron) with Magic would be... interesting.

 

[Mr_Henley]

I want to see the top 3 of the order on base tonight.

And kudos to Fredi for finally putting out worst two hitters at the bottom. Batting uggla 2nd or BJ 5-6 was killing the lineup.

Hard to hide bad hitters no matter how you try though.

We tried to hide Stubbs everywhere last year.

I wish McCann was 5th, having CJ 5th and McCann 6th seems weird to me.

Freeman, McCann back to back leaves you susceptible to LH specialist in the later innings.

Id rather have a better hitter 5th to knock in the runners, if they can get on

I mean ok. But you would also have 3 of 4 starting with Heyward batting LH.

For example, in a tie game, would you want a guy like EOF or Venters (obviously when healthy) facing Heyward, Upton, Freeman, McCann?

Remember, I'm all about sports cliches tho so take what I say with a grain of salt. No actual knowledge here.
