I have the same lineup every time this question is asked:

John Stockton
Ray Allen
Larry Bird
Dirk Nowitski
Shaquille O'Neal

All in their primes, I honestly can't see this team losing. They're not perfect on defense, but the offense would be so horrendously dominant, and they could score with almost no effort at all. They would play at the slowest pace imaginable and run the triangle offense... seriously imagine setting up with Shaq on the low block, and then you have Stockton/Nowitski in the pinch-post :eek: And with Stockton and Bird as the primary playmakers, they would take supreme care of the ball and avoid turnovers, allowing them to maintain the super-slow pace.

Indeed, without Lebron, Ray wouldn't get open shots, and without Ray Allen, Lebron would have less of a gap to drive the ball.

Kind of like how no one would take Kobe on their GOAT team because Jordan exists and Kobe is just a carbon beta light copy of Jordan :applause:

4 players who in this scenario are the GOAT defenders (arguable for Hakeem at the PF, no to Kareem) for their positions.

The 2 toughest, most tenacious, intense perimeter players of all time.

Point forward who can periodically take on playmaking duties...while being the ultimate glue guy and the most versatile perimeter defender ever.

The 2 greatest scorers of all time, with another one that is arguably the most complete post scorer of all time.

This team is unbeatable.

Taking chemistry (on and off court) into account:

Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Kareem

Literally no weaknesses (or major ones), as long everyone's willing to keep their ego in check for the most part and share the ball - which I believe those players clearly could- I can't see any team beating that. Also my top players at each position there. I could go a mix of my favorites and the best but I don't think it would be as good as that one.

Durant over the likes of Pippen/Bird might get some flak, but he's so talented offensively and his length bothers players more than most posters on this forum are willing to admit. He's scary good.

KG over Duncan because of his versatility on defense and his passing ability/intensity.

Hakeem over Shaq because Hakeem was good enough offensively/defensively to not let Shaq outplay him too horribly, yet is way more versatile and an anchor on defense.

Olujawon was 6'10-6'11

Payton offers playmaking,hard nosed defense,and driving opportunities

It'll basically be Wilt-Reggie on the scoring load and you don't defend Reggie,you chase him around

Dirk is not a "weak link" if he provides spacing w/ his shooting. Magic doesn't need to be that great of a defender if his wings are Scottie and Jordan.

Oh, and Magic WOULD feed Shaq because, well, he's the greatest playmaker ever.

Well, in Dream Team practices Magic spitefully butted heads with Jordan over ALPHA status. Yet everyone and there mom knew it was MJ's team. Jordan had to embarrass him in practice to get the point across.

I think MJ is the only player in the history of the game Kobe would naturally cede dominance to on the court. They might rival each other in practice, Kobe wanting to see how he measures up but Kobe clearly hero worships him, and Jordan is the only guy on an individual level (especially if it was prime MJ) who could totally embarrass Kobe.

I'm sure that lineup works. Not a fan of Magic's defensive abilities, or lack there of ... that's why I picked LeBron over him. Inferior play maker (not by much) but leaps and bounds better defensively with athleticism to cover any holes on the team.

Only other thing is Shaq's childish, selfish, clashing ego. His need for ball dominance in the post, and his lazy lack of versatility on defense.

I like Bird @ PF because he can also play SF, yet totally stretch the floor. Durant as well, given his length, ball handling ability, and range could just stand out there to destroy teams. The way he does in FIBA ball.

First part makes sense. I do think that with a level of motivation, they would be fine. If they're competing for a championship against these other greatest of all time teams, and find out that they're not blowing everyone out like the Dream Team, they'd find a way to make it work.

Agreed with pretty much everything else except the bolded. Jordan would obviously be the top dog, best player on the team, and if the two ever went at it he'd comfortably have the edge over Kobe. But I don't think Jordan would embarass him. Magic is not at all the type of player to challenge Jordan on an individual basis. Kobe is. He's clearly inferior, but it's not going to be a walk in the park.

By embarrass I meant the only guy with superior 1v1 abilities. Due to the similar skill set between the two, but MJ's superior athleticism. He'd be able to shake him on plays where no one else would be able to do to Kobe. Think MJ twisting Kobe up in knots with footwork in the post at the '98 ASG, or at the 2003 ASG.

I also feel Kobe is the only one who could really push Jordan on both ends of the floor at an individual level. They'd for sure go at it in practice. Sometimes they might both get so locked into the personal challenge it could destroy practices. That's why one would have to surround them with some nice Betas to calm them down. See: LeBron, David Robinson and pseudo Beta Kevin Durant.

James
Jordan
Pippen
Bird
Olajuwon
Very Nice. That defense would be frightening.

How good would this lineup be?

Magic
Kobe
MJ
Duncan
Shaq

I think Magic's unreal passing and legendary leadership would really bring this team together, and allow the other 4, specifically MJ and Kobe, to co-exist.


Really bad IMO. Crazy basketball talent obviously, but I don't think Magic's leadership could handle so many egos in Kobe, MJ and Shaq.

Well Isiah is nice, basically a tougher Chris Paul without the flopping but you throw Reggie Miller out there and you're done against all these teams putting Jordan, Kobe, Wade, or hell even Jerry West or Clyde Drexler in at the SG spot. He'd get eaten alive and be the most glaring weak spot on the roster.

Exactly.

isiah thomas
michael jordan
larry bird
karl malone
hakeem olajuwon

probably my "favorite" players to watch all-time. i like malone physicality over most traditional pf's, olajuwon and jordan are a given, bird is the greatest sf ever, and isiah and jordan would not only be a great trapping backcourt but zeke is an excellent passer and penetrator and jordan again, goes without saying.

When you see the sheer size of malone and wilt in a picture it really makes it stand out how big they are.. NOBODY would be getting rebounds over Wilt and Karl then you throw in Bird who can also bang.. has outrebounded a prime Moses Malone.. they would just dominate the boards.

I'll just take the Dream Team like some one already mentioned but replace Laettner with Wilt, Hakeem, or KAJ

Oscar also, other than Magic nobody has the size to stop him at his position rebounding

How are you going to stop the PnR with Oscar and Malone too with all those other options

Exactly.

used Reggie for Offense and length
People dont defend Reggie they chase him

and Reggie would bring huge spacing,he was one of the goat off ball players and if you needed a 3,clutch shots Hed get it

Wasnt exactly the best sg or guard
Couldve used Penny,Wade,Jordan,West

but Reggies all around shooting makes him a great fit

If were going heads up like that,Jordan would get tired chasing Reggie all around the Court not to mention Reggies speed and length

hes more of a Fit


Besides,Reggie vs Knicks says otherwise
8 points in 9 seconds
Hell Reggie gave Jordan a hard time chasing him around and Reggies craftiness

True, which can tire them out on offense. But Reggie is hardly a great defender. Mitch Richmond moved well off the ball, and had great catch / shoot abilities. But he could actually play defense, and created off the dribble unlike Reggie.

Here's another option:

Jordan (yes at point guard)
Kobe
LeBron
Russell
Wilt

MJ/KB backcourt. I agree with earlier posters that Jordan is the one and only player who would have been able to force Kobe to willingly defer. LeBron would play point-forward, and the rebounding/defense would be so supremely dominant.

Honestly, try and come up with a hypothetical answer to this squad.

While I wait for a reply to the other one, I had this idea while thinking of matchup nightmares:

PG - LeBron
SG - Durant
SF - Garnett
PF - Wilt
C - Shaq

wtf would you do.
