Building a team and this is driving me crazy.  So I'll throw it out there, which do you think is the better Kareem?

what do you want from him? primary offensive option? 70-71 (or maybe better 71-72 with slightly higher usage) - but rebounding etc? 75-76 is slightly better

70-71 Kareem

of the two, the second one. It's not even really close, either.  Much better fg%, better at getting to the line (with higher usage, too), better tov%, better paint scorer and almost the same for total rebounding (35.9% vs 37.3% creb%).

But your best buy is going to be the ridiculous 50-something defense one where he played 3500+ minutes.  Or at least it used to be...

71-72

I'd listen to the three guys who have 100+ 'ships combined.

and not the guy who has never played a single season? gee, why not?

Well he has his opinion too.  He might be Kareems uncle, son, or mother.  This is right up there with the idiots who love the new salary stucture. Someone has to love em, cuz they are badly in need of brains.
