All-Star
Finally, with their 4th round pick, kingsnation selects...
Rick Barry
He's been in the back of my mind for 2 rounds now. A great leader on and off the court. He will add great chemistry to a team that already has it. He will bring pinpoint accuracy in passing and shooting. He also plays great team defense.
He is considered by many veteran basketball observers to be one of the greatest pure small forwards of all time as a result of his very precise outside shot, uncanny court vision, knowledge and execution of team defense principles, tenacious and ofttimes demanding will to win, and unorthodox but accurate underhanded "granny shot" free throw shooting. Barry is one of few elite players who have altered their games without losing effectiveness; he broke into the professional ranks as a rebounder and all-purpose points machine before he morphed into a primary ball distributor and lethal perimeter threat.
University of Miami (1961-65)
Associated Press First-Team All-America (1965)
The Sporting News All-America Second Team (1965)

NBA Rookie of the Year (1966)
NBA leading scorer in 1967 (35.6 ppg)

NBA All-Star Game MVP (1967)
All-NBA Second Team (1973)

NBA most consecutive made free throws record (60 - held from 1976 until 1980)
All-NBA First Team (1966, 1967, 1974, 1975, 1976)
Eight time NBA All-Star (1966, 1967, 1973-78)
ABA All-Star First Team (1969-72)
NBA 50th Anniversary All-Time Team (1996)
Points 25,729
Rebounds 6,863
Assists 4,952
Barry helped take the Warriors to the 1967 NBA Finals, which they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in six games. Including a 55-point outburst in Game 3, Barry averaged 40.8 points per game in the series, an NBA Finals record that stood for three decades.

Was wondering when he was going to go with people complaining about not having enough scoring with their 4 20pt scorers on the team.

With their 5th Round selection, kingsnation selects...
Tony Parker
Will move on to my 6th Man before I get my Center and with Nash, MJ and Parker in my backcourt - We have a nice 3 headed monster.
Parker is one of the quickest PGs in basketball and will fit in well with my team. He can score, but also play defense.
Parker plays the point guard position and has established himself as a potent scorer. Voted by his peers in a 2007 poll as one of the quickest players in the NBA,[39] he often slashes to the basket for a layup or teardrop shot. Despite his relatively small size for a basketball player (6'2"), he led the league in "points in the paint" for a large portion of the 2005–06 season.
Parker's field goal percentage is also high for a point guard, and his speed also makes him a fast break player.

2001–02 NBA All-Rookie First Team
3x NBA All-Star 2006, 2007, 2009

So, rounding out the starting 5 and I needed another big man who could score in the post, hit a jump shot, and protect the paint. It also helps that he's a fierce competitor, and NBA champion, a humanitarian, and has a great smile
. With my 5th choice I select
Alonzo Mourning - F/C 6'10" 260 lbs.
21+ ppg, 11+rpg, 3.5+ bpg
Career Highlights:
[yt=Block Party]5GEjMEa_y00[/yt]
This is my glue guy. He can play PF or center, protecting the basket and running the lane like Dwight Howard, plus he is capable of playing just as well from a starter or reserve role (depending on match-ups). He is one of the all time leaders in blocked shots (3.9 bpg average at one point), is a tenacious rebounder and dunker, and was a 21+ ppg post scorer who could get to the line whenever he wanted to and could make free throws at a high percentage (10.2 attempts/game at 70% shooting). He is another great teammate, adding to my championship team chemistry, and his charity work speaks for itself.

Charity Work:
In 1997, Mourning established Alonzo Mourning Charities Inc. to aid in the development of children and families living in at-risk situations and provides support and services that enhance the lives of youth of promise.
After being diagnosed with focal glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), Mourning launched Zo’s Fund for Life, a campaign which seeks to raise funds for research, education, and testing to fight focal glomerulosclerosis. Funds are allocated toward research for a cure, education for doctors and the general public, testing for early detection and a fund for those not able to afford medication.
In 2007, Alonzo Mourning along with Andre Agassi, Muhammad Ali, Lance Armstrong, Warrick Dunn, Mia Hamm, Jeff Gordon, Tony Hawk, Andrea Jaeger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Mario Lemieux, and Cal Ripken Jr. founded Athletes for Hope, a charitable organization, which helps professional athletes get involved in charitable causes and inspires millions of non-athletes to volunteer and support the community.[14]
In 2003 he has also founded the overtown Youth Center for underprivileged kids, located in Miami, Florida. The program aims to inspire, empower, and enrich these children while teaching them to become positive contributing citizens.

So, after losing Rodman I'm gonna go with a similar player who might be a big reach at this point, but I need a roleplayer who does the dirty work. Good defender, good jumpshooter, good rebounder, good passer. But most importantly, tough as they come and annoying to play against. I'm going with
Charles Oakley
Short list of honors, but still gonna be a valuable piece to my team.
NBA All-defensive 1st team (1994)
NBA All-defensive 2nd team (1998)
1 time All-star (1994)
1986 All-rookie team
Career averages of 9.7ppg, 9.5rpg and 2.5apg, but these are affected by his last few years in the league where he bounced around a lot and wasn't nearly as effective.
Had 35 rebounds against the Cavaliers in 1988
