All Time East v/s All Time West

[The Red Viper]

Who would win?

Not an all-star exhibition game, but rather a proper series of seven games.

For those who have played in both the conferences, they will be considered in the conference they played the most. Like Shaq played with Lakers and Miami. He was at his best with Lakers. So, he will be considered for the West.

[The Red Viper]

Here's my starters and bench!

All Time East Starters:-

Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Larry Bird, Bill Russell.

Bench:-

Isiah Thomas, Dwayne Wade, Scottie Pippen, Juilus Erving, Charles Barkley, Kevin McHale, Wilt Chamberlain.

Anyone between Wilt or Russell could have started really. Went with Russell ultimately as I felt Russell's defense would be more of use, especially with Oscar, MJ, LeBron and Bird there.


All Time West Starters:-

Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Elgin Baylor, Tim Duncan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Bench:-

John Stockton, Jerry West, George Gervin, James Worthy, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal.



What do y'all think?

[SouBeachTalents]

How do you have Worthy over players like Baylor or Barry?

[The Red Viper]

Completely forgot about Baylor. I guess, James Worthy goes out then. Baylor IN!

[J Shuttlesworth]

I'll take the team that has the GOAT... and also has MJ on it too. East baby :banana:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

What about players who played for teams that used to be in the west but are now east? Like Kareem with the Bucks?

edit: NVM Kareem would still be west since he played for the Lakers way longer.

What do y'all think?

Kobe will be shaken into brick his team out of the game.

[Mr. Jabbar]

west would take a huge dump on the east, wow, just look at the names

:biggums:

[hahaitme]

All in absolute peak condition/health?

East

[J Shuttlesworth]

BTW, I'd probably put Hakeem in the starters for the west, just because he had a stronger peak than TD (no offense to TD)

[Harison]

All Time East Starters:

PG: Jordan
SG: Pippen
SF: Bird
PF: Garnett
C: Russell

Well balanced team with All-time great offense and even better defense. This team has it all - very tall line-up, GOAT clutch and BBIQ, locked down paint and perimeter, nobody will outrebound them, great spacing and passing.

All Time West Starters:

PG: Magic
SG: Jerry West
SF: Baylor
PF: Hakeem
C: Kareem

Also fantastic team, but in series I dont see how they can beat the East. Offense might be a bit better, but there is only one ball, and defense-passing-rebounding-clutchness nowhere near the East.

^ KG been in the west longer, not to mention his prime spent there.

so is it decided by where they were at their peak or where they played the longest. shaq also played in Miami, Cleveland and Boston. as well as LAL and PHX in the west
