Start debating with who your starting five and bench are, individual matchups, overall strength of your team, how many minutes your players are going to play etc.

- regarding your offensive & defensive strategy
- a short description of your players: style of play, stats, awards, trophies, quotes...
- why each manager thinks he should win
- Gifs or Youtube videos are the welcome
- facts that enable the voter to visualize the 1 vs 1 battles
- the potential complementarity of the players

I win. I have LeBron.
 
Our starting 5:
C: Robinson
PF: Duncan
SF: Pierce
SG: Richmond
PG: Stockton
Subs:
Sixth Man: Ginobili
PG: Rondo
SF: Finley
C: Camby
PF: Horford
 
David Robinson:
2 Rings, 1 MVP award, 10x NBA All-Star, 4x NBA First Team, 2x NBA 2nd Team, 4x NBA Third Team, 1 time NBA Defensive player of the year etc etc
It's Obvious we are stronger at C position and really Duncan at PF is going to cause Lebron a lot of problems, also our bench is a lot better, also Pierce with his shooting and the Pick and Roll between Stockton and Robinson is going to be deadly.
 
Going to wait for the arguments of NM and Skills. I find Skills' team the most talented team on the draft, but on the other side, the least balanced.

'I win cause I have LeBron' doesn't cut it for me. After all, he consistently lost against teams weaker than his, despite that he was partnered with a top 5 or so player, and had the strongest team in the NBA. a 2-4 record on the finals, isn't the sign of someone who wins. I don't see how LeBron works with Miller, and I don't get why Harden is there when you have Miller. I don't see the reason why Rose is there, when it is clear that the team will be LeBron based. Pippen gives some needed balance, but still it is not enough. Providing that he starts with his first five picks, I see his team getting massacred in the center fight, and there is no way that Ewing and LeBron can deal with Robinson and Duncan.

NM's doesn't have near as much shooting power, but he has concentrated skill. A top playmaker, best set of centers in the draft, and good attack-defense combo.

As it is, he gives my vote cause I like balance. But of course, Skills can provide arguments to change my mind, cause his team surely has a lot of talent there.
 
Lebron is a great defender in his prime, but I don't see him causing many problems for Timmy D.

Not enough meat on these arguments in order to judge properly fellas.
 
Looking at the lineups alone, I'd go with Skills. Holding off my vote until I read the arguments.
 
This look like a close one and i like both teams on the display,will stay way from voting.
 
I don't see any issue because you could close this thread today at 7 pm and formalize the winner.
 
Not much to say here as skills isn't around

I see. I have nothing to go off in this thread other than the actual squads. Wish my vote was based on something more substantial.

Well since skills isn't around it's better to not show all our cards, no?
