The 2000 NBA Draft is widely-regarded as the worst NBA draft class ever. I recently tried to “re-draft” this awful class, and let me tell you, it was exhausting. In the coming weeks, a few of the better basketball minds I’m surrounded by will be re-drafting the last 15 years of NBA Drafts with me.Continue reading “2000 NBA RE-DRAFT”

Last week at work, one of my co-workers asked me, “Are you worried the Warriors are going to beat the Bulls’ record?” An interesting question.
