Damn even the $1 players are crazy good.

So many great players have played this game. :bowdown:

[LoneyROY7]

Karl Malone and Barkley more expensive than Duncan? Kobe 4 times more expensive than Wade? Pippen less than Durant already?

Da fuq is this list?

Paint scoring/defense, and outside shooting. Thats what the game is about today.

[TheReal Kendall]

Do I have to spend the whole $15?

The valuations are def garbage. Hopefully this was done by some random shmoo and not anyone employed in a basketball opining capacity.

LeBron James
Michael Jordan
Kevin Durant
Dirk Nowitzki
Hakeem Olajuwon

good luck beating this team.

[thabisyo]

LeBron James
Michael Jordan
Kevin Durant
Dirk Nowitzki
Hakeem Olajuwon

good luck beating this team.

Lebron at point guard? Game over for those midget Point guards.

[Bobby13]

John Stockton
Jerry West
LeBron James
Dirk Nowitzki
Wilt Chamberlain

Surround LePass with GOAT shooters. An even easier carried ring than he already gets

[Prometheus]

$3 Isiah Thomas
$5 Michael Jordan
$5 LeBron James
$1 Kevin Garnett
$1 Hakeem Olajuwan

This is the most superior way to play this game here. The front court is arguably the top three most versatile players in history, the defense would be so spectacularly good, you've got the undisputed GOAT (Jordan) and the greatest player of today's generation (LeBron)... everything about it would be sick. My team is better than yours.

[buddha]

Lebron at point guard? Game over for those midget Point guards.

it was either him or the homo and I couldn't justify spending 5 dollars on a homo.

LeBron playing with Jordan, Durant and Nowitzki would be the perfect role for him though, he could play his natural role of the beta to alpha Jordan while dishing to Durant and Nowitzki. He also wouldn't have to take any jumpers and could stat pad by only shooting lay ups, I'd imagine he would have a field goal percentage north of .700 while averaging 16 points and 10 assists over an 82 game season.

Thats probably the worst team possible in this exercise.

[ralph_i_el]

Pg: Stockton
SG; Kobe
SF: Lebron
PF: Dirk
C: Shaq


floor spacing ftw

I'd take Nash if you'd let me

It's not about putting the most talent on the floor with these HoFers. It's constructing a team that would actually work. It would be nearly impossible to stop my team on offense even with a team of all of famers. None of those centers could check Shaq. You get Shaq+Kobe chemistry. 3 point floor spacing from Kobe and Dirk. 2 offensive distributors with Stock+Bron. Run the triangle with this team and it's over

[Milbuck]

Dumb list.

Karl Malone and Charles Barkley above Tim Duncan...Drexler over Wade...Bill Russell being 2x more valuable than Shaq :oldlol:

I'll play though.

Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Kevin Durant
Kevin Garnett
Shaquille O'Neal

[AintNoSunshine]

This is too easy.

I want Jordan and Lebron for sure: $10

Olajuwon for $1 is such a steal, so is Garnett.

For pointguard I can have Stockton and that's only $14.

For the last dollar I can pay your mom for a quick BJ:pimp:

[the mesiah]

Earvin-$5

Not enough spacing, sorry not a very good team.

in terms of even legendary depth between #1's bar compared to the others in its catigory

PG is 4 deep
SG is 3 deep
SF is 3 deep
PF is 5 deep
C is 5 deep

so naturally you select the C and PF 1$ players

PF - Kevin Garnett = 1$ ( since hes almost on a malone level )
C - Hakeem Olajuwon = 1$ ( since hes almost on a Kareem level )

then you're left over with 13$


which can evenly be distributed between the other 3 positions since you can select a player from each ( again ) whos almost on par with the top spot

SF - Bird 4$

SG - Kobe 4$

PG - Magic 5$




so in the end

PG - Magic Johnson ( 5$ ) - greatest PG
SG - Kobe Bryant ( 4$ ) - arguably on par with MJ in his prime
SF - Larry Bird ( 4$ ) - greatest SF
PF - Kevin Garnett ( 1$ ) - arguably on par with Malone in his prime
C - Hakeem Olajuwon ( 1$ ) - arguably on par with kareem in his prime


a full potential value of 25$ only using 15$


ant btw.. thanks for putting the wrong guy at small forward with 5$. made my day easier getting bird cheaper

[SilkkTheShocker]

Who the **** would want Kobe when you can get a way better player in Jordan for a $1 more? :oldlol:

who guards small/quick guards? Zeke/cp3/Drose/Tim Hardway would torch this team

[kennethgriffin]

PG is 1 deep

put any of those 4 on the 80's lakers. they also win 5 out of 9

[jstern]

Tim Duncan $3
Hakeem Olajuwon $1
Larry Bird $4
Michael Jordan $5
John Stockton $2

Hakeem is a real steal. His defense alone goes along way.

[Solefade]

Isiah Thomas - $3
Michael Jordan - $5
Lebron James - $5
KG - $1
Hakeem - $1


aint nobody beating this team doe

[Kingwillball]

Frazier,Jordan,Lebron,Duncan, Hakeem... This team has athletes and scorers mixed with skilled techs.. Hell mix any of those guys would be best team ever..

[Kingwillball]

Isaiah - $3
Kobe - $4
Durant - $2
Malone - $5
Hakeem - $1

Easy


Your team Sux

[Kingwillball]

Stockton
Wade

Could of made a better team behind Konex as second worst.

[Angel Face]

PG: John Stockton $2
SG: Michael Jordan $5
SF: Scottie Pippen $1
PF: Kevin Garnett $1
C: Hakeem Olajuwon $1

Total of $10.00

Cost efficient, Great on both ends of the floor defense and offense. Would beat all of your starting 5.

:pimp:

[LongLiveTheKing]

Stockton
MJ
LBJ
KG
Shaq

[MVBallin2K]

John Stockton
Kobe Bryant
Lebron James
Dirk Nowitzki
Shaq

A perfect balance of scoring and defense. Also allows Shaq to dominate in the post while the paint isn't too clogged up for Lebron to drive into and a legitimate point guard to set them all up and run pick and roll with.

[Mrofir]

edit why not

Magic 5
jordan 5
pippen 1
duncan 3
hakeem 1

[Bosnian Sajo]

Magic
Jordan
Pippen
Duncan
Olajuwon

Easily the best possible team. 4 top 10 players in one team, with Pippen doing a fine job of being 5th fiddle :oldlol:

[BuffaloBill]

Stockton $2
Wade $1
Pippen $1
Garnett $1
Olajuwon $1


6 dollars bitch

[CavaliersFTW]

PG Oscar Robertson
SG Jerry West
SF Elgin Baylor (he's free I guess)
PF Bill Russell
C Wilt Chamberlain

And I'm still under budget yet this is better than any team mentioned :pimp:

[kshutts1]

Wilt for 3
KG 1
Durant 2
West for 3
Stockton for 2

And, as many people have likely mentioned, the valuations are garbage, lol. I'd rather see it be more weighted. Whatever.

Exactly mine.

[kshutts1]

Magic
Jordan
Pippen
Duncan
Olajuwon

Easily the best possible team. 4 top 10 players in one team, with Pippen doing a fine job of being 5th fiddle :oldlol:
We have no similar players, so this works...

Stockton vs Magic - Wash/slightly Magic
West vs Jordan - Jordan
Durant vs Pippen - Wash/slightly Durant
KG vs Duncan - Wash
Wilt vs Olajuwon - Wilt

Now add in the fact that I have three PHENOMENAL shooters while you have zero above average shooters... pretty sure my team would destroy yours.

[kshutts1]

Other than West, who can spread the floor? I love players from the 60s, but today we have a 3p line, and it kinda sorta needs to be utilized, or at least defended, in order to win.

possibly hakeem at C

[ProfessorMurder]

C: Hakeem Olajuwon $1

Total of $10.00

Cost efficient, Great on both ends of the floor defense and offense. Would beat all of your starting 5.

:pimp:

This dude knows what's up. My pick as well.

Elite defense at every position, length, athletic, gritty, elite versatility in the big men, built in chemistry of Scottie/MJ. That team is not losing.

I'm tempted to take Bird instead of Pippen, but that chemistry is big time, and that way MJ stays the undisputed #1 guy on the team.

[russwest0]

PG: Isiah Thomas
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Scottie Pippen
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

GG rest of these teams

[The JKidd Kid]

Kevin Garnett
Shaquille Oneal

[MrC1991]

This picture has been all over facebook n shit. lolbut Stockton, MJ, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem.

[Rocketswin2013]

No Chris paul? Pretty much the best overrall pick at PG because he could/would fit on any team.. Whatever.

Frazier $1
Jordan $5
LeBron $5
Garnett $1
Chamberlain $3 (1967 non-blackhole/non-stat padding Wilt)

The defense is insane on this team.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Magic (5)
Wade (1)
Bird (4)
KG (1)
Russell (4)

I assume peak. Also the values suck. Who the **** going to pay 5 for Malone?

[Collie]

Magic, MJ, Pippen, KG and Hakeem ($13).

All versatile players who could defend multiple positions. MJ, Pippen and KG could also work off the ball, so not a big problem with ball dominance. The only problem I can potentially see is 3-point shooting, but with a defense like that, it doesn't really matter.

I was considering Duncan as well, and I think he's a better player, however I feel KG fits better in a team with other low post threats like Hakeem and MJ.
