As we head into the challenge round of our All Time NBA Mock Draft we have learned a couple of things about people’s views on the history of the NBA.
A great big man will always influence the game more than a great guard, defense may win championships, but some offensive forces just can’t be stopped, and most of all never count out what type of scheme someone is playing in, because as little as coaching matters, with all this hypothetical talent together, putting those players in the best position to win is more important than just collecting talent.
So we start out pool play 2 with a look at two of the better SFs to ever step on the hardwood in the All Time NBA Mock Draft- Elgin Baylor v Lebron James.

Lakers’ Dwight Howard has nothing on Lebron James “Decision”
I know what your thinking when you read this title. This guy is an idiot, but let me explain. Everyone has been thinking about the nightmare that Dwight Howard put Orlando through and comparing it to the Lebron James infamous “DECISION”. In my book however it doesn’t compare, it was two different situations. Lebron as bad as his decision making might have been was an unrestricted...

Dwight Howard Trade May Make Lakers Even More Reviled Than Heat
The devil we know has been displaced by a devil we know even better. When LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade on the Miami Heat, almost everybody hated the idea of it. Players were determining the terms of their employment, announcing their decisions on cable television and holding championship celebrations before a regular season game had even been played. James, Bosh...
