    It makes me wonder. People say that there are players that are made better because of Pop's system. Why does that not apply to Duncan? They list players that have their best years under Pop and then they go someplace else and look very average. How come nobody ever said that about Duncan?

    Amazing how worked up some people get over this stuff.

    My five: Offense/Defense combo--Magic, Michael, Pippen, Duncan, Hakeem.

    If I divided up the rest into 4 more teams:
    Team Toughness--Isiah, Kobe, Bird, KG, and Wilt (only because I'm a dollar short for Russell)
    Team Smoooooth--Big O, Clyde, KD, Dirk, Kareem. Effortless play all around.
    Team Physicality--Stockton (dirty MF), Wade, Lebron, Malone, Shaq. That front line would pound you.
    Team Leftovers--Frazier, West, Dr J, Chuck, Russell. That actually turns out an interesting group...

    Here's another look--which $15 5 gets you the most rings? Magic/Wade/Pippen/Duncan/Russell have 29 championships between them. Beat that!

    I think people realize that while Pop certainly helped make Duncan, Duncan helped make Pop as well. Can't say that about Danny Green and Patty Mills.

    Adidas: "Hey, KG, if you guys win it all, wait for somebody to shove a microphone in your face, pretend to be all introspective, and then yell our new slogan, 'IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!' and we'll give you another pile of money. Make it look dramatic, yet spontaneous!"

    KG: "ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE!"

    Not even if you graded on a curve. Ruben Patterson used to try to help Kevin Garnett do his spelling homework, but gave up because Garnett couldn't spell "My agent tol' me to keep my mouf shut..."

    The idea that either of you would take Lebron/Wade over Jordan/Pippen (Both $6 combos) is unfathomable to me.

    My Team:
    PG: Magic
    SG: Drexler
    SF: Bird
    PF: Duncan
    C: Olajuwon

    Thinking outside the box:
    PG: Magic
    SG: Jordan
    SF: Drexler
    PF: Durant
    C: Olajuwon

    Again, I don't understand taking any $6 SG/SF combo over Jordan/Pippen. Drexler/Bird? That's a defensive liability.

    Well, if you wanna take guys out of position, then I'll go Pippen, Jordan, Lebron, Duncan, Olajuwon, and nobody will ever score on me. PG is probably the weakest position on the list defensively. If I can replace Magic with Lebron--ballgame.

    I would rather have Lebron then Jordan and Wade if were considering him in his prime injury free id take over Pippen.

    Absolute prime Wade really wasn't too different from MJ in production, plus my team is full of guys who are okay with seeing their teammates do well. No super egos like Jordan/Kobe.
