Which Player Would You Pick To Start Your Franchise?

Postby Jackal on Tue Jul 29, 2003 9:13 am

Imagine: You are gonna start a franchise, you have the number one pick, who would it be, APART from Michael Jordan (No Stevan, no picking Jordan!! :P )

I personally (apart from Jordan!!) would pick Shaquille O'Neal.

Other options (which will be picked often, I think) would be Tim Duncan?

Gimme your Franchise Player!



:lol: ******Disclaimer: I know this is a Stupid topic, but I was getting tired of the Kobe this, Kobe that topics enough Kobe shit...stupid or not POST sumthing in it...!!****** :lol:

Well, I thought it was just current players. If it's everyone ever, then you can't choose anyone but Wilt Chamberlain.

If Shaq shows up to training camp fit this year, then I'm choosing him...

I'd choose Jordan so I guess you can choose someone who isn't Wilt...

If you can doesn't mean it's less stupid.

All time, I'd probably go Chamberlain, Bird/Duncan, Yao/Garnett. I'm not totally decided over the #2 and #3, it'd probably be a top 5 with Garnett being 5 hehe.

hey wow, the thread which got me deleted is back! :D

If I could pick anyone in the history of the game, my signature would apply. But since we are only allowed to pick Wilt Chamberlain then I choose Wilt... who needs championships when you have the Nba's all time greatest pimp machine.

As for players now, I dunno, maybe I'd choose Eddy Curry in the hope that he does become a dominant and nasty big man as predicted. (y)

If i'd start with my favourite one it would be AI, but he's just too hard to build around, if i would want to win now i'd choose shaq and if it's a franchise for years to come i'd pick t-mac,td, kg respectively(so in this order), if it would include legends, well, i'd pick bill russel too i think :)
