You're listening to the Book of Basketball 2.0 podcast on the Ringer podcast network.

We have been redrafting every MBA draft from 1996 through 2008. This is the 2008 draft.

Ryan Rassillo is redrafting it with me. My name is Bill Simmons. This is the Book of Basketball 2.0 podcast.

She's a three-quies playing that. The bar and the gym with her still. And you're already

filled. Pass it to you. He's gonna do it. It's a Book of Basketball. Yeah. It's a Book of Basketball.

It's a Book of Basketball. Yeah. It's a Book of Basketball.

All right, 2008 redraftables. We went out of order. I did 2009 on the low post.

And the reason is because Zach was asked me to do it really for the last two and a half months.

He was so fired up to talk about that draft. So we jumped ahead. So if you want to listen to this

081 and then go on the low post and listen to 09 to be in sequence, we're also gonna run the low post

one eventually in the Book of Basketball. By the way, who'd you take one? I haven't listened to it yet.

In the 09. Yeah. So Zach seemed to think that was more of an argument than I did. I thought it

was like Curry hands down. I didn't think about it for more than a second. And Zach agreed,

but thought there was at least we should talk about the case for Harden, which I was, let's

Luke Warman because as we've discussed many times in this pod, I just think Curry is the generational

culture superstar that we've had. He's dunking for this generation. If he's on your team,

you're competing. If you put him with good players, you have a chance in the title and he's an

iconic player. So that was pretty easy for me. What would you have said? Are you serious?

Well, I just just so America listening, they might not 100% know how you feel.

I would have taken Curry one. The only argument you can make for Harden is games, how he holds up.

And I know what the raw numbers are, but I would not, I wouldn't spend too much time on it.

The playoffs thing kills him. All right, so 2008.
