1. LeBron James
2. Kevin Garnett
3. Dirk Nowitzki
4. Shawn Marion
5. Allen Iverson
6. Amare Stoudamire
7. Tracy McGrady
8. Kobe Bryant
9. Andrei Kirilenko
10. Gilbert Arenas
11. Paul Pierce
12. Steve Nash
13. Mike Bibby
14. Jason Kidd
15. Ray Allen
16. Stephon Marbury
17. Tim Duncan
18. Elton Brand
19. Jermaine O'Neal
20. Vince Carter No love for new NBA live coverboy Dwyane Wade? Blasphemy! [/QUOTE]My sentiments exactly. I drafted Wade in the 3rd round last year, and besides the T.O.'s I was very happy with the return.

Anybody else getting anxious? My site is going to be debuting our Basketball Content within a week or so. We are finishing up a Draft kit that should be of good use to you. Also we are setting up one of the finest Expert Leagues out there, so keep an eye for that as well. But we are going to be conducting a mock draft this week. Some of the participants we have are going to be "Experts" but I just want to make sure we have enough bodies to conduct a solid draft. So if your interested and have some time to spare Wed./Thurs. this week... Please let me know and I may invite you to participate. Thanx Guys!! Still waiting for NBA Approval!! lol

It turns out Wade is #21 so its not so bad I guess but he should still be closer to #15 than #20 IMO.

[email protected] Very much so. I hope the NBA gives word on Monday cuz this week is when the basketball buzz is going to start. They should be on top of this!

Hector - please give me more info on this weeks mock draft and the expert league you're putting together. I'd love to do both and I think I have pretty solid credentials to join in. thanks.

Not good news today guys. Anyone who wants to play in a private league if this doesn't go through with all of the money going back in prizes, just e-mail me at [email protected]. Maybe I can organize something different and still build on the rules. Let's see what happens as I'll create an e-mail distribution list and get something rolling.
