  3. Len Bias' Career?

    in General NBA Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Mentch

    We all know what happened to him, and I'm sure everyone has wondered this question at one point in time or another. Well he was actually a player in a sim league that I'm in, so I tracked his career from 1986-1996 and here's what I found:

    Career Accomplishments:

     

    - 5x All Star (1987, 1992-1994, 1996)

    - 3x All League 3rd Team (1986, 1988, 1991)

    - All League 2nd Team (1987)

    - All-Rookie 1st Team (1986)

     

     

     

    In this league, Bias was actually drafted at #2 overall by the New York Knicks and has remained there his entire career. He started off on a great note, and easily looked like he could be the successor to Larry Bird. However, his play kinda leveled off from there, his inside game developed really well but his outside game never really did. Notice how he has never averaged less than 4 assists per game though. He has exceptional handling abilities for a player of his size and was able to make contributions on defense and rebounding as well. He never averaged less than 7 rpg and was a really well-rounded player

     

    Is this what you would have expected from Bias' career? If not, do you think he would have been better or worse than his career that he was in this sim league? I feel like this is an accurate representation of him, a good all-around player but one that doesnt really stand out in any aspects and wouldnt necessarily be a Hall of Famer

  13. Can Phoenix Make The Playoffs?

    They've really surprised me as of lately, I didnt think they had a shot at making the playoffs. I thought if there was going to be a team that came out of nowhere and surprised everyone, it would be the Wolves, which to their credit they've done so far, but Phoenix is actually close to grabbing the #8 seed. I think they'll fall short in the end though, theyre still a young team (outside of Nash and Hill) that is in transition mode and they'll have stretches where they play great and stretches where they play horrible

  19. Will Charlotte Rename the Bobcats?

    If New Orleans moves to Seattle, they should come up with a different name other then the Sonics considering its not the same franchise.

     

    The Sonics made the franchise colors and uniforms and name available to any future franchise when they moved out of OKC, it would be a shame if a team moved to Seattle and didnt take on the Sonics trademark

  22. BREAKING NEWS: Colts to Release Peyton Manning

    in NFL Football

    Posted · Edited by Mentch

    ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that the Indianapolis Colts will release Peyton Manning tomorrow which will prevent them from picking up his $28 million option for the 2012 season.

     

    Reports from earlier in the day suggested that they could have pushed off making this decision until Friday but the team has had plenty of time to come to a decision regarding his future with the team.

     

    Manning will be able to start visiting with teams before the start of free agency on March 13th and you can expect to see the Dolphins and Redskins lined up and waiting for him.

     

     

    Well, its official. We all knew it was coming sooner or later, and now Indy is set to draft Andrew Luck

     

    What team do you think Peyton should go to? I think he should go to Miami, if he goes there they'll easily be set to compete for a championship
