That's not really fair.
Team A has like 3 absolute money crunch-time shot makers (MJ the best, Dirk probably the best of his era, Hakeem possibly the best clutch center ... I guess you can throw Kobe in there too, he's certainly not shy about taking the shot anyway, lol).

I'd favor team A. Paul can't come close to guarding Johnson effectively. Wade cannot defend Kobe. Jordan-LeBron matchup would be great to watch and probably the closest. Dirk-Duncan I would say is a wash, with Duncan the edge, and Hakeem-Shaq is close with a slight edge to Shaq (and yes Houston-Orlando final blah blah)

I see two. And another guy that just likes taking shots at the end cause of his "killer instinct."

Hakeem was pretty damn killer in the clutch, as I recall anyway. Kinda unusual for a big man.

Why can't Paul guard Johnson?

6'9 versus (really) 5'11 ... probably wouldn't work too well.
I guess you can have LeBron cover Magic, then Wade on Jordan (?), and Paul on ... Kobe?
No that would be a disaster too.

Team B, Kobe would prevent Team A from playing at optimal effectiveness

Chris Paul was guarding Durant effectively in post, WCSF.

Jordan is probably the only person on the planet Kobe really would listen to though, lol. He tolerated Phil for a while, but I got the sense it was at about a bare minimum.
I think MJ would challenge him to shut LeBron down and Kobe would probably get all revved up about that.

Durant needs to grow a pair in that case, that's completely laughable.

Team A has three ball-dominant players (though all good off the ball).
Shaq and Hakeem never bested one another. Duncan did have some great success against Dirk in some instances, and it was the other way around in others. I like peak Wade more than peak Kobe as well.
Would be a great, close series.

Im taking Team A
Kobe + Jordan seems too dominant

Team B seems better balanced but it's hard to bet against the team with MJ on it.

LOL. Chris Paul would be eaten alive by Magic's baby skyhook all day long, forcing double teams to open shooters like Dirk and Jordan? Ouch!
Team A all the way. Not even close. Only equalizer is Shaq, who can be unstoppable at times, but Hakeem is probably one of the best bets to hold him to human output. Team A in 5, with a couple blow outs for sure.

LeBron and Shaq on the same team?! Easy win
if not pls tell me how both can be guarded together
Lebronxrings
08-05-2014, 12:28 PM
team B.
A has 2 chuckers that cannot work together. Who guards lebron and shaq?
B in 5 (one game lost due to refs helping kobe and jordan).

Team A
MJ and Kobe will take turns frustrating Lebron. Hakeem won't stop Shaq, but he'll contain him enough to preclude the need to double.

Magic
Kobe
Jordan
Dirk
Hakeem
Team B
Paul
Wade
Lebron
Duncan
Shaq
What team win?
team b. team b has no weak links within the team. team a has kobe and dirk who are weak links. kobes inefficiency and redundancy since jordan does anything kobe does. and dirk whos garbage at defense.
also, why in the world would you sabatoge team A? you put 2 shooting gaurds, and a point guard thats really a forward. You unbalanced that team intentionally.

Hakeem actually is the one player who went toe to toe with Shaq at center and bettered him.
Shaq had a lot of headaches dealing with Hakeem's jumper and footwork (well basically everyone did).

Team B...team A would lose because theres not enough balls on the court.

Team B sweeps Team A easy.
Lol your relying on Wade and Lebron jump shot?
plus Lebron might not show up in the final moments im sure Duncan getting ball on that one
and Team A got Dirk who spaces for and gives Hakeem space to use his footwork in the paint
Plus Kobe an Jordan
