Same here. With all the info released today, I would still be disappointed if we can not access our draft classes easily for things like edits... Im very much waiting to see what is to become of this.

The only thing he is clearly better at than those two is scoring and he is tougher, thats it. Paul and Williams are better ball handlers (AI has lost a step), passers, and defenders (AI had in my opinion his worst year from a defensive standpoint last year). As far as the playing the role of PG and using the pieces around you to the best of your abilities, Paul definately has the advantage their.

AI has not elevated Melo's game since hes been there while Paul has turned a guy labeled as a draft bust (Chandler) and a player who had trouble finding his role in the NBA (David West) into All stars. Not to mention revitalize the career of a guy who many people thought was on the verge of retiring after major back surgery (Peja)

AI will only help a team by dominating individually if the team is built around him, this will never happen again for the rest of his career. He doesnt know how to compliment an all star.

Who is tougher to guard is debatable though. AI can score in man ways, Deron Williams is huge and is difficult to stop from penetrating, and Paul is very fast and at times seems like he can do anything he feels like. All 3 are equally difficult to guard on any given night, but its not about that. Its about who helps their team get to the next level and win. Deron Williams and Paul are doing that. AI? im not so sure.

Agreed, move along on topic fellas

Zephyr... yes

This info has me geeked to play Association for the first time in years! But there are a few things I wanna know:

Did they fix the way the All Stars/All NBA/All Defense/Rookie teams are selected? It should be 2 guards, 2 forward, 1 Center, not one of each position.

How will the draft be?

Since we have living rosters, does that mean EVERY player will be available now?

Will the commentators make mention of you approaching a milestone or breaking a record during the game? Speaking of commentary, will they mention any transactions that have taken place, key injuries or coach firing during your season? That would be so ill!

thanks KDRE...

so I haven't read the opinions but DC pretty much said this must be game breaking for him to be satisfied... and this is far from from "revolutionary" though neat.
