All Time NBA Team

the nut · 12-22-2006, 05:27 AM

Who would be on your's... 5 starters, 7 bench players.

Starters
C Jabbar
PF Duncan
SF Bird
SG Jordan
PG Magic

Bench
C Russell
C Olajuwan
PF Barkley
SF Irving
SG West
PG Robertson
PG Thomas

Triple Threat · 12-22-2006, 07:24 AM

Good list. I'd take Karl Malone or Elgin Baylor over Barkley and John Stockton over Thomas, though. Maybe Wilt Chamberlain over Olajuwan, too, but that one's debatable.

Goodfella9783 · 12-22-2006, 10:30 AM

C - Shaquille O'Neal
PF - Kevin Garnett
SF - Scottie Pippen
SG - Michael Jordan
PG - John Stockton

C - David Robinson
C - Patrick Ewing
F - Larry Bird
F - Charles Barkley
G - Allen Iverson
G - Jason Kidd
G - Magic Johnson

goandykid · 12-22-2006, 11:38 AM

I don't know if I'd keep Magic at point considering he still belongs at Center. Might be interesting though.

Definitely MJ at SG

Jabbar at C

Barkley starting PF (round mound of rebounds may not be the most talented but can keep the team going)

Bird at SF (Great white hope)

Sure, why not, Magic as PG, followed by 2 of my bench spots would be PG's. (stockton and maybe even Nash at this point)

Gilbert Arenas is a bench player on my team, he's deff not Top 15 or at least yet, but he is fucking hilarious and one of those guys you want in the locker room.

Shaq behind Jabbar on the bench. Wilt Chamberlain maybe also, Dr J a possibility, orrrrr... Lebron 10 years from now?????

goandykid · 12-22-2006, 04:31 PM

How the hell did I leave Oscar Robertson off my list.

I left for work and as I got in the car remembered and kicked myself for it.

min0 lee · 12-22-2006, 04:36 PM

Starters
C Russel
PF Duncan
SF Bird
SG Jordan
PG Magic

Russel, never saw him play but I heard he was a great team player who was a great smart defensive player who would swat the ball to his teammates instead of the stands.

You have enough scorers.

Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, Connie "The Hawk" Hawkins and Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, George "Meadowlark" Lemon, Fred "Curly" Neal

The '92 Dream Team - Laettner + Shaq.

Egoatdoor · 12-30-2006, 06:00 PM

Starters:
C Chamberlain
SF Bird
PF Karl Malone
SG Jordan
PG Oscar Robertson

Bench:
C Jabbar
C/F Moses Malone
F Erving
F Elgin Baylor
G Magic Johnson
G Bob Cousy
G George Gervin

Close and would like to have them on my team anytime: John Havlicek, Bill Russell, Willis Reed.

Why don't I have Shaq? Poor free throw shooter and playing in a watered down over expanded NBA. Except for Michael Jordan and to a lesser extent Magic, all these other guys played when only the cream of the crop made an NBA roster.

I don't think you can compare athletes of today to athletes of yesteryear. Due to better knowledge in training, diet, supplementation, and recovery, most of today's NBA mid-levelers would have been stars back in the day. Not to mention all of the shit Chamberlain got away with that would be easily defended these days. The man certainly changed the game, Jabbar as well. They were certainly innovators.

Do you think any of them could drive in on Shaq? I don't.

Michael Olowokandi, C,

Egoatdoor · 12-30-2006, 07:39 PM

If you leveled the playing field, such as giving those earlier era players the same supplements, etc. they'd wipe the floor with today's players, who cannot shoot, do not have basic fundamentals and whom many came to the league way before they should have ( leaving college early or not even going to college at all) because of the money.

Wilt would wipe the floor with Shaq. He was much quicker, stronger and he wasn't fat.

bio-chem · 12-30-2006, 07:41 PM

wilt could never handle shaq in his prime.

Yea, people don't realize how much teh game has changed. There has never been a center like Shaq before, and the fact that he could go 30 points, 20 rebounds in today's game is ridiculous.

Double D · 12-30-2006, 08:18 PM

Jordan
Chamberlain
Magic
Russell
Barkley (sorry guys love his bad ass attitude and he brings something!)

He may have been quicker but stronger? I would love to have seen this, I would also like a Russel Vs. Hakeem Al....whatever.

goandykid · 12-30-2006, 09:00 PM

Shaq would have his way w/ Wilt. Look how Shaq has dominated everyone else at the center position, including Yao easily.

Double D · 12-30-2006, 09:02 PM

Wilt is one of the if not the greatest player to ever play the game. You put Wilt against Shaq in this era with weight lifting and people just naturally being taller and better built, Shaq wouldnt be able to hold his own.

goandykid · 12-30-2006, 09:04 PM

Wilt looked so amazing b/c of the competition he was against...much like Jim Brown being considered the best ever. He was playing against 180 pound linebackers and sub 6 foot db's. Great but not the greatest.

Exactly and if you put him in this day and this era there are things that would have made him much greater as well.

goandykid · 12-30-2006, 09:07 PM

And if Ryan Leaf was drafted today he'd be the best ever, because the offenses have adapted and changed.

Double D · 12-30-2006, 09:10 PM

Ok now you dont make sense. Leaf was never great and never has been great. Maybe good in college, but so isnt almost every pro player. Wilt was great in the past. There is no way to validate that claim. Again makes no sense.

goandykid · 12-30-2006, 09:13 PM

Okay good point. Let me change it back to the prior one.

Do you think Jim Brown would be the number 1 rb in today's game?

Double D · 12-30-2006, 09:20 PM

Between him and Walter Peyton, definitly.
