All-Self Team for $15

[pdub]

He overspent.
I had 3 of his 5 on my squad.

[noosh]

LOL Wayne Simien for $5 GTFO

[TDub]

See, that’s $20 for Self’s team. He thinks the rules don’t apply to him!!!!

Adidas covered the extra nickel.

I guess I put this in the wrong thread.

I guess I put this in the wrong thread.

In another thread it could be discussed normally, but given the parameters for this one, and the recent issues, no matter ones opinion, no reason not to poke fun.

[jfish26]

Oh gosh, I don't care. I just meant for it to be in the All-Streak-Team thread. But yeah, the jokes are obvious, and warranted.

[pdub]

Think Bill Self is being sentimental with Collins and is letting Joel's NBA dominance cloud his judgement o the player he was at KU but what do I know?
I don't have a suggestion box in front of Allen.

[ousdahl]

That list strikes me as perhaps the dudes with the combo of most talent and most coachability. (e.g. Self made comments about how Joel was a sponge who absorbed coaching as quick as anyone he'd seen)

and yeah, the Collins pick kinda seems sentimental, considering you'd think that it would count as coachability, in a sense, for a player to be receptive to coaches and trainers saying "ixnay on the ick-fil-a-chay"

Wasn’t Embiid improving exponentially every game until he got hurt?

[jfish26]

Yes. I think that pick is wistful on Self's part, in the "what could have been" category.

[pdub]

Yea, never saw NCAA tourney Embiid, which would have been nasty.

[ousdahl]

guessing there's some sorta "most enjoyable to coach" element for Self.

I wonder if he'd still pick that lineup if it was framed more so as "pick 5 guys you gotta make a tournament run with."

wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly wasn't picking two freshmen in the frontcourt.

[Geezer]

Kind of surprised he would actually answer the question and not be more political about it.
I'm curious as to how much thought he gave it and/or if that's a question he has/had rehearsed.

As I understand it, a caller to the show asked him.

apparently EJ is putting together an all-Self alumni team for the $2 mil tournament. he was interviewed on KLWN this afternoon. said you could vote to get the teams in (64 only), but i didn’t see the team on the site yet

team name is SelfMade...unsure on spelling, punctuation, etc.

said everyone he’s talked to was interested in taking part, and specifically referenced he, Ty, and the 2008 squad

Funny thing is the two best guards he ever coached may not be KU guys.

[Deleted User 89]

hilarious...i guess

Deron Williams and... ?

Dee Brown

Dee Brown

That would suggest Dee Brown is better than Frank Mason, Devonte Graham, Chalmers, etc. It's so ridiculously moronic that I figured he must have meant someone else that I was forgetting.
