My Pick...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauncey_Billups
Career: 15.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists
When he was in Detroit I doubted him.
Always thought he was overrated based on the team he had with him.
Then he was traded to Denver.
Denver magically turned into a team of winners.
While his former team, the PISTONS (who have been great for all the years he helped out there) turned into a pile of mediocre 8th-seed goo.
The guy is a WINNER.
The guy is tough.
The guy plays defense.
And last, the guy is just a LEADER.
The guy is the PERFECT glue player, and it makes it even better that he can be a game changer who can score when he WANTS to, yet doesnt NEED to!
He is Chauncey Billups

Sorry. Was stupid busy this weekend.
Thanks for picking all the coaches. Jerks.
Gotta get him now I guess.
Coach K
Yes, he's a college coach. But I'm putting together a dream team here. I need someone the guys can respect and will follow. Coach K managed to work his magic with the redeem team, so why not for me?

Commissioner Speaks...
I wish I could make Coach K stand,,,
Unfortunately, the rules say NBA coaches only, and although the Olympic team was a bunch of NBA stars...HE still hasn't coached in the NBA.
Ultimatly I think had Coach K been allowed he would have gone earlier. Which was what made my final decision.
The official word is...
Coach K is out, and there is a makeup pick for bdouble013 including SLAB's choice of Chauncy Billups.

With their 7th round selection, kingsnation selects...
Robert Horry
Now instead of jumping on the Coaching bandwagon, I decided to bolster my bench with a PF who can play great defense, shoot a great jumper and oh BTW, is a proven winner as he has collected 7 (yes, SEVEN) rings over the years.
Had a huge hand in getting titles in Houston, L.A. and San Antonio.
This guy brings success with him wherever he goes.
He is also one of the most clutch players in NBA history, which is why they call him "Big Shot Rob."
And he's also not afraid to get a bit dirty as well.
He spent his first four seasons with the Rockets, helping them win the NBA Championship in 1994 and 1995. While in the Finals, Horry set the individual NBA Finals record with seven steals in a game and five 3-pointers in a quarter.
Horry was a member of the Lakers when they won three consecutive NBA championships (2000, 2001, and 2002), and he added to his reputation for coming up with clutch playoff baskets when the Lakers needed them most.
He is one of only nine players to have won seven or more championships in the NBA, and the only one who did not play on the 1960s Celtics.
Robert Horry is one of only three players to win NBA Championships with two different teams in consecutive seasons. In 2005, he joined John Salley as the only players to win NBA rings with three different teams. He is the all-time leader in playoff games played, having surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during the 2008 playoffs.
Horry is second on the all-time list of three-pointers made in the playoffs, behind only Reggie Miller. He also holds the record for three-pointers all-time in the NBA Finals with 53, having eclipsed Michael Jordan's previous record of 42. He holds the NBA Playoffs record for most three-point field goals made in a game without a miss, against the Utah Jazz in Game 2 of the 1997 Western Conference Semifinals. Horry has regular season career averages of 7.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Role player time. I pick the all time leader in 3 point FG% for both a season, and a career. Try double teaming LeBron James now. With my 7th selection, I choose:
Steve Kerr - PG 6'3" 180 LBS. (Shootist)
Kerr is a clutch combo scoring guard, who owns terrific career and single season 3 point shooting percentage numbers. He always said that if he could take the amount of shots that Iverson or Kobe does, that he could get 40+ easily too, and now with a run and gun offense he'll get his touches. He was a surprisingly talented defender due to his size, and he averaged a steal a game in Chicago in only 24 minutes/game.
Steve was known for his clutch shooting on 4 consecutive (5 total) championship teams, hitting the series clinching shot against the Sonics in game 6 of the 1996 NBA Finals, and for his 3 point parade in the Western Conference Finals to bury the Mavericks.

Playing Career:
Kerr played basketball for the University of Arizona from 1983 to 1988. In summer 1986, Kerr was named to the USA Basketball team that competed in the FIBA World Championship in Spain. The team became the last American Men's Senior Team composed strictly of amateur players to capture a gold medal. Kerr injured his knee during the tournament, forcing him to miss an entire season (1986-87) at Arizona. After returning to the team, Kerr became a fan favorite due to his leadership and long-range shooting. He helped the Wildcats reach the Final Four of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament in 1988, along with future NBA teammate Sean Elliott and future NBA journeyman Tom Tolbert.
Kerr was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the second round of the 1988 NBA Draft, but was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989. He spent over three seasons (1989 to 1992) there, and then part of the 1992–93 season with the Orlando Magic. In 1993, he signed with the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls made the playoffs in the 1993–94 and 1994–95 seasons, but without Michael Jordan's presence for all of 1994 and much of 1995, though, they could not advance to the Finals. However, with Jordan back fulltime for the 1995–96 season, the Bulls went an NBA-record 72–10 and defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in the NBA championship.
Kerr played a major part of the Bulls' victory in the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz. In the final seconds of Game 6, with the score tied at 86, he took a pass from Michael Jordan and hit the game-clinching shot. The Bulls won the game, earning back-to-back championships for the first time in four seasons. Kerr also won the 3-Point Shootout at the 1997 All-Star Game.
In the last minute of Game 2 of the 1998 Finals series against Utah, he missed a three-pointer, grabbed his own rebound and laid it to Michael Jordan who scored an easy lay-up. The play helped Chicago win this game and even the series at 1–1. The Bulls won the series in six games.
During the 1998 off-season, Kerr was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, where he spent the rest of his career, save for the 2001–02 season with the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Spurs made it to the Finals for the first time in their history, and Kerr won his fourth ring in a row when the Spurs beat the New York Knicks for the 1999 NBA championship. He is the only non-Boston Celtic to win four straight NBA titles.
In the 2003 playoffs, Kerr made key contributions in Game Six of the Spurs' Western Conference Finals series against the Dallas Mavericks. Among those were four clutch three-pointers that helped to eliminate the Mavericks. The Spurs eventually won the NBA championship that year by beating the New Jersey Nets in a six-game Finals series, led by Kerr, David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginóbili, among others.
Kerr ended his career as a dependable bench player who could make jump shots and three-pointers in critical moments. Even when he was with the Chicago Bulls, and both he and Michael Jordan were on the floor at the same time, when a free throw had to be taken due to a technical foul, Kerr was usually the one to take the shot.
Kerr announced his retirement after the 2003 NBA Finals. He played 910 regular season games but started only 30, 20 of them in the 1991–92 season. His career totals are: 5,437 points (6 ppg), 1,060 rebounds (1.2 rpg), and 1,658 assists (1.8 apg). He also retired as the league's all-time leader in three-point shooting percentage for a season (.524 in 1994–95) and career (.454).

NBA analyst
From 2003 to 2007, Kerr was a broadcast analyst for Turner Network Television (TNT), offering commentary alongside renowned analyst Marv Albert. During his tenure he performed a segment sponsored by Coors Light called Steve's Refreshing Thoughts in which he brought up interesting facts in NBA history. In the same time period, Kerr also contributed to Yahoo! as an NBA commentator.
He has provided his voice for the in-game commentary of EA Sports video game NBA Live 06, NBA Live 07, NBA Live 08 and NBA Live 09.
General manager position with the Suns
On April 15, 2004, Kerr was announced as a member of a potential group of buyers that would acquire his old team, the Suns, from Jerry Colangelo for US$300 million. He became part of Suns management, acting as a consultant.
On June 2, 2007, Kerr announced his departure from his broadcasting position at TNT and his commentating position at Yahoo! to assume duties as the general manager of the Phoenix Suns beginning with the 2007–2008 season. He replaced Bryan Colangelo.
On Feb 6, 2008, reports surfaced that Kerr was planning to trade Phoenix Suns forward Shawn Marion to the Miami Heat in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal, which he did. The Suns were eliminated by the Spurs in five games in the first round of the playoffs.
On December 10, 2008, Kerr continued to remake the Suns roster by trading away Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, and Sean Singletary to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley, and the Charlotte Bobcats 2010 Second Round draft pick.
