I'm a diehard Boston Celtics fan, so personally I'd like to not have any Lakers on my team but since we're talking hypothetically, I agree with what you said about Kobe and MJ. Cutting Steph was a hard choice but I assure you, I struggled with my choices.

The 5 players I picked, would beat the 5 you picked by 20 points.



*Magic Johnson and Tim Duncan not being part of the selections made picking teams tougher than it should have been.

Agree on Magic and the Big Fundamental. Both are underrated. I wrote a post with both but ended up deleting it LOL.

Also...yes Shaq is the most dominant center to ever play. He also was a career ~60% free throw shooter and in a close game you could play "hack a Shaq" defense at the end and hold them to about a point per posession, sometimes less. This is an obvious weakness when the other team can have Steph or a hot shooter and get 3 points per posession and pull away or win. Shaq likely could not run the floor like teams do these days either... I would go with a 2G, 3F lineup with big forwards that have good handles like Bird, KD, and Duncan. Guards Steph and Jordan.

Kirby said at halftime that Beck couldn't close his fist or squeeze a ball. Then Kirby put Beck back in the game. After the game Kirby told a reporter Beck was "a little hurt." Kirby then concealed the nature of the injury until after the CFP was announced. Kirby next got pissed that Beck wasn't practiicing or at practices with Kirby's team. Beck wasn't with Kirby's team because he no longer trusted Kirby or the UGA medical staff or anyone they would refer him to in the area (including Atlanta). So Beck and his family did some research (including through agents) and sent Beck to a recognized expert in Cali. Beck is pissed at Kirby. And I hope a lot of their other players picked up on that vibe. Kirby didn't have Beck's best interest at heart. That's the story from my UGA sources. Which I don't have.

Come on guys!! Let's get this Big Hoss and add an explosive WR from Texas or Ohio State, preferably Tate or Wingo if they enter, and we should be good. Anyone after that is icing on the cake, baby!!

Not that it really matters, but why was my post moved from the Pregnon thread to this thread. I was talking about Pregnon when I quoted, " let's get this Big Hoss " and then I went on to mention Tate or Wingo as additional options?

So this is a developmental issue for Nico but not for Lagway who threw 9 INTs? You would think Lagway would be farther along with this, especially for someone with his potential/expectation.

Wish whomever posted Nicos 2024 stats next to Miltons 2023 stats would repost. They are nearly identical. In EVERY stat.

I remember this much

Nico 19TDs. 5INT.
Joe. 20TDs. 5INT

Joe had 7 rushing TDs to Nicos 3TDs...but Nico ran for MORE yards than Joe. Their completion % was within 1% of eachother. Yards were close too. Attempts/completions were roughly the same.

Nico was a Freshman starting his 1st year
Milton was a RS Senior in year 5.

Milton got drafted in the middle rounds and is considered a success. Some of these NegaVol clowns around here act like Nico had a bad season. He clearly did NOT. Thats with UT receivers dropping an insane amount of balls, finishing bottom 10 in both dropped passes AND in getting separation (per PFF if memory serves)

If yall wouldn't mind reposting those stats for both QBs and/or the WR I would appreciate it. I will screenshot them. Thanks.

To be fair we were measuring him against heisman odds.

Dude. Kirby put Beck into the game for a 1-play handoff after Beck volunteered to go in after Stockton’s helmet came off. Kirby was about to put in Puglisi to hand the ball off but let Beck do it.
