I definitely agree that David Robinson is close to the greatest second banana of all-time. Those Spurs were definitely a nice squad after tanking and getting Tim Duncan in the draft because they knew that just the 7 foot David Robinson wasn't enough to win a championship or even compete for one. Nobody cares about all them individual stats and shit, he was on a garbage ass team. How much of those accolades came after 1997 when they brought in Timmy? None, because he was irrelevant when the ball wasn't just given to him every single time down the court.
The Knicks, on the other hand, knew they had a number one in Ewing and failed to build around him. The biggest sufferer of the Michael Jordan era was Patrick Ewing and the Knicks, who consistently pushed those Bulls teams (some of the greatest teams ever) to the brink while D-Rob could NEVER carry the Spurs. Then once they got the greatest PF of all time, he all-of-a-sudden becomes a champion. Yet, they could still only win 2 titles with two big 7-foot ma'fuckas cause they came to realize that D-Rob was even a shitty #2.
So keep posting them individual awards and shit when he was the ONLY player worth a damn on them Spurs team. I'll focus on when they had another viable player and D-Rob turned to shit.
Patrick Ewing carried those Knicks and an entire city in New York. He competed against the best player ever and pushed him every time. In fact, fuck it, I credit Ewing with all the success of MJ, cause without him there to compete, Jordan wouldn't have had a reason to get better every year cause he knew he had to in order to beat those Knicks.

To be great you have to come thru in the clutch which Pat never did.
After I get a chance to play the retail version of the game, I will adjust the rules accordingly. Until then, the rules up here are what we will use. Please read them very carefully to avoid any confusion and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me for clarification.
I have created the new BHML league and my plan is to have it kick off starting maybe next week (Dec. 5). Over the next few days, I will be updating the rosters as much as I can (moving certain players to their rightful teams i.e. Brandon Lloyd to the Rams and Aaron Curry to the Raiders.) If I miss somebody, let me know but I plan on having those done this week.
1. Start a new franchise and keep those crazy rookies out of the lg
2. Start a new franchise sim the entire 1st season and start the season off with the rookie draft
Start sign ups here. Pick your top 3 teams...We will give teams out by how active you was in season 1
