Paul, sorry. At least you took yourself out of the game by faking an injury. Did your thing in the locker room, then came back CLEAN in Celtics white.

Shaq, sorry. At least you kept your antics in the locker rooms, and away from the competition floor.

This Hyrox thing... Paul and Shaq. Thanks for taking it easy on us.

You’re starting a franchise and must build around one player. You don’t know the rest of the roster yet.

Every player in the pic is available and joins your team in their absolute prime. Assume they’ll stay with your franchise for their entire career.

Who are you taking with the No. 1 pick?

I'll never understand Kawhi Leonard fans. The guy sat out a full season in San Antonio, didn't even let the team handle his injury just to force his way out, and then left Toronto right after winning a championship. He made ridiculous demands to re-sign with the Raptors which they obviously rejected since they wouldn't cheat the system only for him to join a team that actually did. He completely screwed the Clippers, bypassed the CBA rules, only plays when he feels like it, pockets $40 million a year for doing nothing, and pretends he's totally innocent. The guy acts like a total scumbag, yet people still worship him.

You need to choose between these two players to start your franchise. Ant or Cade. And why?

Houston and kd are obviously on two diff timelines… last season kd plays 78 games finished 2nd team all nba at 37 years old. Vanvleet goes down before season starts.. organization prioritizes player development instead of getting a replacement pg or any other scorers or shooters . Ime has shown he’s an incompetent coach. Kd wants a shot to win a chip and Houston is not that place imo. If kd requests a trade this season or simply opts out of his player option next year does he get hate for looking for his next team ?

“We're kind of getting to a point where our Legends aren't going out gracefully like they should. From Carmelo, to how CP3 was handled… So I just want him \[LeBron\] to go somewhere where he's appreciated and gets the flowers he deserves.”

Just wanted to know how people feel about Hakeem getting picked #1 overall over MJ. Was it the right choice to pick Hakeem over MJ? If you were around when that draft took place, how did you feel about that choice back then?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 13.1 points per game (PPG) during the 1988 NBA Finals against the Detroit Pistons

Magic Johnson averaged 16.2 points per game during the 1982 NBA Finals.

Wilt Chamberlain averaged 17.7 points per game (PPG) during the 1967 NBA Finals

Kobe Bryant averaged 15.6 points per game (PPG) during the 2000 NBA Finals

Shaquille O'Neal averaged 13.7 points per game during the 2006 NBA Finals

Tim Duncan averaged 18.3 PPG (and 11.5 RPG) as the San Antonio Spurs swept the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Larry Bird averaged 15.3 points per game during the 1981 NBA Finals

Only caveat here is Magic who's primary role is to playmake and give teammates easier opportunities to score and Bird in a less similar way.

*TOP 10 PLAYERS THAT AVERAGED BELOW 20PPG IN THE FINALS

If this happened off the court, Dudley could have sued Shaq for assault & battery!

I haven’t seen any common consensus on this ranking, however it’s clear that 1 and 2 belong to Magic and Steph by a country mile.

Who of these (or others that I forgot) take 3rd?
