Mockery Drafts Are The Sincerest Form Of Love

January 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments

JJ, here.
Anyone heard of NBADraft.net? Up until a few minutes ago, neither had I. So, just as a quick disclaimer, I have no idea what kind of credibility this site has (and I’m not really a NBA fan, either). However, on a bit of a snow slow day, what this site has [...]
