Thank you all for joining us, it's hard to try and come up with any original questions to ask but I hope I peppered in a few that are at least interesting to read.
1. Let's get the boring stuff out of the way, the draft just finished. Obviously KAJ was the top prize, but which pick did you secretly love? Which non-lottery selection do you feel has the greatest chance of hitting?
the original michael -Beard looks good. Especially in a balance or inside offense. Looks like he could be something. Also love Johnson. The guy the Clippers got. Block machine? Camp him blocks and watch him go to work!
Royal - I didn't really look much into the Notes, just knew I wanted Pistol. As far as picks outside lotto I grabbed a dude with a couple B+ ratings at pick 25 so I'm excited about that.
hf - Dandridge will be great, and also like Fred who Greeme picked at 14. Was hoping he fell to 15.
jahallstar - Jojo and danridge were great value for mid lotto. I think both would be top 3 in most drafts. I think carter should have gone #8 so he is the best non lotto.
2. We're over 50 seasons in, about to hit 1 million posts. What's been your favorite memory/moment so far in this version of BBS?
the original michael 50 seasons. Wow. Impressive. So many memories honestly. Any of the titles was cool, but really enjoy solid banter here when people aren’t getting butthurt. I’ll tell you my least favorite- losing Oscar!
Royal - I don't have a favorite memory, I've sucked! Getting money from Manasarai was a pretty hue moment tho.
hf - The Giannis era for the wolves. Giannis was such a fun player and I built a lot of different teams around him.
jahallstar - Being the 8 seed and sweeping skillz in the 1st round. I was actually confident going into that series. In no way expected a sweep though.
3. We're rolling into the 1970's era of the NBA, which draft class/players are you most looking forward to?
the original michael None! Don’t plan on tanking soon. I guess wake me up when Jordan and crew come along.
Royal - I've had this bad case of shitting the bed for a while now so wouldn't mind a Doctor to help with that. Almost wanted to end it all so got me a Pistol for now.
hf - 1984!!!!! Not that far away now. Jordan!!!!
jahallstar - I mean to be honest the best two drafts of the 70s are the 1st and last. Some of the 70 players were in last years draft though.
Editor's note: Dan Issel is the prize of the 70s of course

4. Christmas is here! Or it will have just passed by the time this will be posted. What was your favorite Christmas gift as a kid? Any specific holiday traditions?
the original michael I was a weirdo and loved sports memorabilia as a kid. Dad got me a Joe Namath sign helmet when I was 10. Memorable.
Royal - Ah remember it was like yesterday, my momma went out her way getting money we didnt have and got me a Game Boy. I think it was even used, but that moment will always be cherished. Only tradition I carry is letting kiddos open grandparents gifts xmas eve and than making that good oh Prime Rib.
hf - When I was 9 I got a ps2 and the rest is history. My Hispanic family always makes a whole pig in a “Caja China” fun times
jahallstar - Probably the original sega or nitendo way back when. Bikes and such were always good too as we actually spent most of our time outdoors as kids! No real traditions besides the norm. We usually cut down our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving if that counts.
Editor's note: The year I got a gamecube for christmas was the best. I got the console and like 6 games. All the major sports games and a game I knew little about in Animal Crossing. I spent so much time on that game tho, a true gem.

5. If we did a BBS Secret Santa name one GM whose name you hope you would draw and what you would like to get them as a gift.
the original michael Steve - Cavs GM and it would be a camera. We know why.
Royal - I would like to get Joseph, that's my dawg, I'd prolly just get him bunch of baby stuff tho. Help with the transition.
hf - I hope I get Play, and I hope he gifts me a hammer.
jahallstar - Marty. Anger management sessions.
Editor's note: I'm hurt no one picked me. Send me that jersey back mike!!

6. The NFL playoffs are sneaking upon us. Any sleepers? Super Bowl predictions?
the original michael - Niners or Cowboys if Dak can get his shit together. Hurts shoulder injury Knicks Philly down. KC walks to the SB in the AFC
Royal - yall been sleeping on 49ers all season!! Let's get that Brock Purdy guy a SB MVP yea?
hf - Miami all the way baby!!! But in all seriousness I can see the Bengals running the table to the super bowl again.
jahallstar - I would like to say washington can make a run but that is not likley. The oline is just not playing well enough. I would go with 49ers vs bengals if it came down to it
Editor's note: KC walks to the SB??! Better hope they don't play the Bengals, they can't beat 'em. THEY GOTTA PLAY US!!

7. What's your drink of choice? Or if you don't drink favorite meal you've had recently?
the original michael Vodka lately. Mules to mix it up and give it a little flavor. Call me Mikey Mules.
Royal - I'm a sweet tea or water type of guy, for alcohol gotta be Tequila. Don't mind a nice cold Moscow Mule though.
hf - Any dark liquor for me. Can’t go wrong with some Glen Livet.
jahallstar - Hmm i like ipas if im drinking beer for enjoyment. Mixed drinks varys greatly by circumstance. Im from maryland. We like steamed crabs and shrimp etc....
8. Last question, why do we still do this after all these years?
the original michael I have a sickness.
Royal - It's a fun game, brings nostalgia, competiveness, and allows us to pass quite a bit of time.
hf - Depression, anxiety, a love for gambling and the love I have for everyone here
jahallstar - Its an escape from the real world. I like it when it is low stress. I think some others get really worked up and stressed out here sometimes. When did the world go and get in a big rush?
