the best ever at their respective positions

[nineiron]

the best ever to play their position:

point guard: Magic
shooting guard: MJ
small forward: Bird
power forward: Duncan
center: Olajuwon

i think you can make a case for Curry at the point, but the other positions are solid.

Wilt is the BOAT center not Hakeem then second is Kareem.


As Look at this video which shows Wilt swishing four 3-point range hook shots in a row!

Wilt is the BOAT center in terms of individual ability and talent in my eyes as my god that dude was a total freak of nature I mean just look at this video of his incredible speed despite him being 7 foot 1 and weighing 290 to 315 pounds

Solid list. KAJ, Shaq can make a case for C. I don't mind that list as it is.

[Gudo]

No one is beating that team. I don't see curry as a pure PG. I can't have him as the top PG. Best shooter all time though. For center, maybe jabbar, wilt or shaq can make a case.

First group is where i am speaking strictly of the best players at their positions.

If i am putting a team together to actually play games in this era i might make some changes.

I wouldn't argue bird but u could definitely make a case for bron over him in the small foward spot. I'd also have kareem at center and Russell at power foward but i wouldn't argue your pics.

That would be my 5

Magic
MJ
Bird
Bill Russell
KAJ

There is enpugh scoring in this team. Bill is a winner and will provide all that you need inside. These are all strongminded players who want nothing else but to win.

Yeah it's a great list. I'd probably go bron over bird for my top 5 but if we're talking take the best 5 for a team then i'd definitely go bird. Brons strength is having the ball in his hands playing point and he wouldn't be doing that with magic on the floor so bron would have to play off ball and bird would be better suited for that.

People saying Bird over Lebron in 2021 :facepalm

Bill Russell is a worse version of Ayton in today's game.
