I'd sayHakeem OlajuwonKevin GarnettLarry Bird/Scottie PippenMichael JordanMagic JohnsonOlajuwon is a complete center, nuff said.Jordan and Johnson are obvious.Erving is a decision perhaps mostly because I like him more than some other SFs from history.Kemp is also a sentimental choice. Had he kept form, he'd have been amazing, and that's why I chose him in his 20s
Why do we continue to make the same topics over and over again?Anyway here is my list:C Kareem Abdul-JabarPF Karl MaloneSF Larry BirdSG Michael JordanPGMagic Johnson
cuz i started this. so it's better. Yeah, my PF choice was either Malone or Kemp. And SF was Bird, Wilkins or Erving.
C- Wilt ChamberleinPF- Karl MaloneSF- Julius ErvingSG- Micheal JordanPG- Magic JohnsonThis isn't going to vary too much.

C'mon now.. And Chamberlain dominated in a league where everyone was inches shorter than him, so that that pick is questionable.

C-ShaqF- Tim DuncanF- Larry BirdG- MJG- Magjic Johnsonanyone without MJ, Magic, or Bird deserves to get shot.

Anyways on to the main concern I have about your post, If Kareem was inches taller than everyone in the league he still wouldn't score 50 PPG, Chamberlain wasn't just his height, he had speed and a jumpshot that most big-men don't have.
C. tough one - i'll go with :SHAQ (about 99 -2003) cPF. while so many are so good here gotta take :Tim Duncan pf SF. i know Larry was great, but i really think KG woulg shut him down : Kevin Garnett sf SG. der ; MJ sgPG. im gonna go with the least selfish PG ever :John stockton pg
Woah what happened to my post in this?Anyway, PG: MagicSG: JordanSF: BirdPF: MaloneC: Bill RussellShawn Kemp is a pretty bad pick when Duncan, Malone, Barkley, Garnett, and others were available.
Something to say Kevin Garnett shouldn't be on that team?? I'll take Tim Duncan over Kevin Garnett any day because he has 3 rings while Garnett has none. Malone is the greatest power forward to ever play the game and Charles Barkley comes right after him.
Shawn Kemp over Karl Malone? Are you retarded?C-Hakeem OlajuwonPF-Karl MaloneSF-Larry LegendSG-Michael JordanPG-Magic Johnson
StartersPG:Oscar Robertson ,The Big O was the most versatile and underrated player in the history of the NBA.Robertson could do it "all",and by making that statement,I mean absolutley everything, he was the only man in history to average a triple double the whole entire season and nowadays one triple double a season is considered great but this man was the absolute complete basketball player. You love him on your team but you hate playing against him.SG: Michael Jordan, simply the greatest player in history of the game who hated to lose and had a winners mentality. This player came through whenever the Chicago Bulls needed him and is still the most clutch player in history of the NBA.SF: Larry Bird, the greatest forward shooter in the history of the NBA and this player could pour on points in a hurry. He was also a winner his entire career and had a tough,winners mentality that earned him three most valuable player awards and three NBA championships.PF: Karl Malone ,the Mail Man always delivered when you needed it most. The greatest power forward in the history of the NBA never won the championship but that was because he played in the same ERA as Michael Jordan. Malone averaged thirtyone points points in the 1990-1991 season,won two mvp awards, and always kept the Jazz contending for the NBA championship.C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, many may disagree with me but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the greatest center to ever play the game. Wilt Chamberlain played in a time where there was no defensive presence what so ever while Abdul-Jabbar had to compete with the greatest NBA centers of all time(Hakeem,Robinson,Russell) What people do not realize is that yes, Chamberlain has numerous records but Wilt Chamberlain also has the the top five records for fg's attempted in one game with over sixty numerous times. Unlike Wilt, Kareem couldn't even get half of that ammount so he would scored less points but has won the most MVP awards(6) in the history of the NBA and also has sx championships as opposed to Chamberlain's two NBA titles.Coach: Red Auerbach

Those moves were not because of his compeition, he actually had some legit moves. It's been said that he used his turarnoud shot alot when eh was young. Add his athletiscm and length and it'll be hard to stop. He did block the sky hook twice in one possesions whilst not in his pime. Imagine if he was in his prime :closedeyes: And phil is a batter coach .My teamC Wilt/ KareemPF- Duncan/MaloneSF- Bird/PippenSG- MJ/KobePG- Magic/StoctkonCoach: PhilYou have the greatest front court there. Defense, scoring, shotblocking and they can all pass well. Your backcour cosists of the best overall point guard and the best half court point. The best player ever along with one of the most talented players ever. You have all around play from the 3 who could pass and is istant offense. Backing him up is a great defensive player, one of the best perimiter defenders ever.How would it work in the triangle? You have the perfect players. You have defense at the 1 in stockton and magic was a decent team defender. You also have the perfect players at the 4 in the triangle, both malone and duncan can pass and can hit that 15 footer. I think that team is very good.

Scottie Pippen, as much as I like him, Scottie doesn't deserve to be on that team while you have guys like Erving and Baylor who get snubbed. :closedeyes:

Malone is a better scorer and i don't need that. I put Stockton over robertson because he's the best half court point guard you will see. He's a great leader, unselfish and is a better defender than Oscar. When the game is slowed down, oscar's stats will go down. I don't need his all around plays, what i need is a pg like stockton. Pippen was there because he's one of the best perimiter players ever. He had the whole package, could hit the boards, could pass and play defense.
Karl Malone is a much better passer than Tim Duncan and Oscar Robertson can shut down John Stockton any day of the week. He's so versatile, being able to play every position on the court,this guy averaged a triple double!!!
