Can I vote for Battier Boozer J Will?

Sounds like that will be an option for another round.

I went 92, although i could argue that 99 team could beat the 92 team in a best of 7, i don’t think this trio sniffs beating Hill, Hurley and Laettner

 

[Austinduke]

I vote 92

 

[timo0402]

Langdon was my favorite player growing up, but no chance he can go up against Grant. That’s the difference here.

 

[Mac9192]

Brand would get his points, but Laettner would too. The real difference is Bobby and Grant are tougher than Trajan and Avery.

Not sure if they’re tougher but they were better. I wonder if you take out Trajan and put in Shane. Shane would be able to D up Grant to an extent but soph Shane isn’t scoring a lick against Grant.

I’ll edit this. Bobby was tougher than Avery.

We really are bored. We’ve resorted to debating playing half court 3 on 3 with some of our best teams ever.

Yeah i wouldn’t say this is rock bottom but it’s pretty close. Usually we get there around mid July as a fan base.

 

[christophero]

Youre right. We should do 2 on 2 instead. Wearing rollerskates.

 

[smashmouth5]

Grant Hill is the x-factor. 92 team gets the win.

yep that’s what I think

 

[HuffyJB]

100% of the time, give me the team with Christian Laettner on it.

 

[christophero]

How bout justice vs maggette?

 

[timo0402]

100% of the time, give me the team with Christian Laettner on it.

Tough to argue that

 

[TheDude1]

Easy choice. Avery isn’t on Bobby’s level.

 

[christophero]

But sophomore Avery vs sophomore Hurley would be close. Avery would have been great if he stayed another year. Believe me I know how great Hurley was.

 

[timo0402]

Easy choice. Avery isn’t on Bobby’s level.

I wouldn’t say that. Avery was pretty elite. He shot 50% from the field and 41% from three averaging 15 a game. 5 assist to 2.5 turnovers a game. He was an excellent athlete and pretty solid on ball defender. He’s also going to be bigger than a soph Bobby. Avery had Bobby bested in every stat category outside of, you guessed it, assists where Bobby averaged 7.4.

i think ‘92 wins but the difference is Grant dominates my boy Trajan.

Team 92 will be hard to beat. Depends on the next ywo teams. OFC

 

[christophero]

Can you switch Langdon and Maggette?

 

[christophero]

In fairness you could have sophomore Laettner vs sophomore Brand. I know that's cheating as we're doing years.

 

[skysdad]

Can you switch Langdon and Maggette?

Grant would haveveaten Maggette up. Cory was a good dunker though. OFC

 

[timo0402]

Can you switch Langdon and Maggette?

Would love to see those two athletes go at it. Grant would destroy him but I’m sure we’d see some awesome dunks.

 

[christophero]

Not sure Hurley could stop J Will.

I must have missed Jay Williams threesome.OFC

 

[DukefanKY]

Laettner would pull Brand away from the post and start raining 3’s!!!

 

[dbav]

Can I vote for Battier Boozer J Will?

Brand for Boozer and I'm with you.

Grant was definitely better all around, but Maggette was no slouch. He was an absolute freak of an athlete.

I watched Maggette live his one year at Duke. The only player that I've seen at Duke that was that outrageously athletic in his freshman year was Zion. Essentially, they weren't freakishly athletic freshmen, they were freakishly athletic college players.

 

[christophero]

I was so sad when Maggette left. Dude was a beast.
