I don't believe in having captains.

I used to play in a couple of leagues as a kid and I never understood it. I would have something to say and I would get this "well i'm the captain!" routine. So I can't say something because someone else is supposed to? It keeps order in the huddle? So we have to look for the captain to bring us together?

I just think the whole concept is stupid.

I dated a girl who played ball for a Cuny school and she was the best player they had but the coaches named this girl that couldn't even dribble to be the captain. So the girl I was seeing wasn't allowed to speak her mind about the play no matter if they were in real games, practice or in off-season tounaments because those were also sponsered by the school. They used to discipline her and suspend her for games.....she was the leading scorer for christsakes!

Just stupid.....it's politics.....the whole reason why i didn't play for any school when I was younger.

Think back at the good ol' days of the 90's....Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, John Starks... Those were the captains in my opinion of the 1994 team.

This team, the top three: Stephon Marbury, and one other. Cannot say any of the new players yet, but if I had to pick, it would be either James or Curry.

Marb can become a leader with proper coaching. One of the reason why Marb has yet to be successful in the league is because he wasn't coached early on about how to maximize his talent, but Brown will definitely help him with that.

That flip sanders can't coach a lick!

Nate Robinson!

Hell yeah Nate the Great should be captain. WHo cares if he is a rookie and has done nothing in this league. Make him captain now!

Because his name rhymes with Great

Well, I hope that he is as good as he's advertised.....

You need one captain.

I think we'll end up with no less than two, no more than 3 captains between the back and frontcourt. With all the new faces, I'd definitely want to see us having more than one captain.

If the team really is the one to vote on it, then I think Malik will definitely be a captain. He's not the best player by any stretch but he's a natural leader. All you read about is how he encourages the young guys, screams out defensive plays during a game and how he has been to the top already. I think everybody on the team recognizes it. He will step up even more I think because of the lack of leadership on the team.

Other than Malik, the only other potential captain is Steph. I think they'll vote him in also. It'll be real interesting if LB only let's them vote for one captain.
