WRONG.

Jordan
Magic
Bird
Hakeem

*fixed! (That's actually the first four I named, and I was stuck on a 5th. Maaaaybe Barkley?)

I put Jordan behind Magic. Much of his success came from coming into form at a time when the Bulls had nobody in their way with a decent chance of stopping them. Imagine how much more success Magic and the Lakers would have had if the Celtics werent around.

I wasn't sure whether he meant cutting this off for the draft that occurred in 85 or the draft before the 84-85 season.

If Malone is eligible, I'd pick him over Barkley.

Otis Thorpe, I assume, is a joke.

Malone was '74. Barkley, Isiah, Stockton, Ewing. Eh. I'd say Barkley.

Edit: You mean Karl Malone. I didn't realize he was drafted in '85, since we were talking about him in the other thread. Yeah, I would take Karl Malone over Barkley.
