We can do a manual draft but I guess it has to be at a time where everyone is free. Then again if you can't make it to the draft you can have it auto select players for you.

He has gone insane.
I haven seen anything like it in a long while...

I kinda hope he starts playing bad again soon, I'm not exactly a Kobe fan :P

Yea all I want to see when I watch basketball (apart from the warriors winning which they did today... finally!) is Kobe and the Lakers fail! Can't stand watching him drop 40 cause he makes it look so easy! So much talent still at his age and no signs of him slowing down, exactly why I hate him!

Hurry up and score more than 81 in a game KD! :P

Lol I can't see Durant score much more than 55-60 in a game especially with Westbrook and Harden.
There isn't really another lone scorer on a team besides Kobe in the league anymore with LeBron and Wade together and Stoudamire joining up with Melo.
I guess there is Rose but the way he (and his team) plays its probably unlikely that he'll be putting up numbers like Bryant does, the Bulls are just too damn good that whenever Rose is playing well they destroy their opposition so he only plays 30 minutes :P
Also, an interesting side note (at least for me) LeBron James consistently does better in away games over home games since he has come to Miami, there's like a scoring difference of 7 ppg, he averages about 1 more rpg and he takes more shots.

Ryan Anderson just with a career high 30 points with 7 treys. Leading Orlando to the win over the Knicks. Even with Dwight having a poor game, still able to get the victory. Mr 4th quarter with some clutch shooting once again!

He seems to be on the way for a career season so far, even though to me the knicks dont look as good on the court as they do on paper.

Warriors just scraping out the win today! David Lee starting to pull some weight. Nice shooting from rookie Klay Thompson 4-4 from 3 land.

D-Wade? Whos that? Lebron runs Miami!! I love watching people hate on Miami at NBA.com , so much jealousy lol

@Sandallman lol I wasn't being serious, would just love to see someone go closer to Wilt than Kobe.

Mike Miller had just about the best game he has had for Miami coming back from the surgery.
Hopefully he can keep it up.

So... anyone really know much about Jeremy Evans and Byron Mullins before this season? Both big contenders for MIP (most improved)

Wow I really hope Dwight stays in Orlando, can't stand every superstar wanting to play with other superstars. Sure it's good fun to watch Miami, NY and the Clips light up the scoreboard, but has anyone watched the Raptors or Wizards lately? DeRozan should NOT be the best player on ANY team.

(I'm not forgetting Bargnani, he has really let me down considering he was a number 1 pick)

Hell yeah I know about Byron Mullins!
He always got on my team when I simulated the later round of drafts in 2k11...
He was rated like...50 :P

LOL I don't think he's rated much better in 2k12, but man is he having an impressive start for the Bobcats. I read online that he has scored 4 times the amount of points this year than he did in his first 2 seasons combined.

Ricky Rubio is a gun.

Mullens hardly got any playing time while he was playing with OKC, which is why he would be scoring 4 times the amount of points that his first 2 seasons. :P

Don't deny the man his spotlight! Yes he didn't get much time, that's because they thought he couldn't score. He's been given a chance at Charlotte and is really proving himself. Look at Andris Biedrins, thrust back into the Warriors starting lineup this year and he has struggled tremendously on the offense. Just cause you get put in the starting lineup doesn't mean you will score. This kid is proving why he's an NBA player.

LOL you lucky man! Your Bulls are going well this year, Boozer making much more of an impact than he did last year. Would love to see Rip back in the finals, he was so explosive for Detroit in 05'
