    Based on those parameters I would be in a hard place. Born in ‘84 I suppose I would still have:

    Steph (I guess Magic would be out for me)
    Jordan (would I be able to use him? If not Durant)
    LBJ
    Duncan
    Shaq

    I know, unorthodox, but i think this team challenges any team anyone else can put together.

    My mom saw Pippen at the PDX airport one time, but she was too polite to say hello. I tease her about it all the time. He was great!

    I've seen other lineups with better offense, but I'd take this groups defense and balance over any other squad.

    nobody can make an all Kings GOAT team without using Mike Bibby.

    what a sad and pathetic franchise

    Playing by the previously mentioned parameters, since you were born in 1984 you're near the boarder line with MJ (who's NBA career started that same year). If you were into pro hoops at a young age, at 11 on you got to see the 2nd 3peat and many dominant MJ moments... so sure include him. Again though, the question as we defined it was to put together the best team, not a team with the best individual talents. It's which 5 guys would be the best group together?

    Who would you have Steph guard if matched up against my team? Personally looking at your team, Curry is the guy I'd swap out for Durant as you've got PG duties covered with James

    Anyhoo, fun food for thought

    That is a good point regarding Steph. Okay, I'll sub Dame, he is a great team player and solid defender.....doh! Yeah Durant makes sense. However if it is really about team chemistry I don't know that I would even put Bron or Jordan on there. I'll have to come back with my chemistry team.
