You have $15 to make the GOAT Starting 5.

[raiderfan19]

Stockton
Jordan
Pippen
Garnett
Olajuwon

Only $10 but would wreck any of your teams.

Exact same as mine but with Frazier instead of Stockton, Frazier was the better defender and it's not like that team would be running Stockton Garnett pick and rolls

[buddha]

I thought this thread would have updated players and prices. I can't remember what I chose the first time this thread was made..

[SexSymbol]

John Stockton for 2 dollars
Michael Jordan for 5 dollars
Bird for 4 dollars (complete steal)
Tim Duncan for 3 dollars
Hakeem for 1 dollar
total 15, I guarantee I'm winning against any starting five that you come up with

[fragokota]

Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
KAJ

I chip in a couple of $$, no big deal.

[SexSymbol]

Wade vs Stockton - Wade is too much for that midget
Kobe vs Jordan - virtually a wash.. both can't guard each other.
LeBron vs Bird - no question LeBron.. Bird would get abused on the perimeter.
Garnett vs Duncan - wash
Hakeem vs Hakeem - the one playing with KG has better spacing.


Jerry West vs Nil bench..


next.

Stockton would make Wade quit basketball and break both of his fragile knees lol. Stockton is an all time great defender.
i agree on sg position.
Bird would destroy bron with post ups and shooting, but lebron can get his with drives, probably a wash too.
Duncan's a better player, not soft like KG.
Hakeem hakeem obviously a wash, spacing doesn't really matter for hakeem.

[TonyMontana]

C- Prime Bill Walton
F- Dirk Nowitzki
F- Larry Bird
G- Michael Jordan
G- John Stockton

Probably the best offensive team ever. I am scoring every time down the floor. 100% FG percentage. cant lose if I make every shot.

PG: Dwyane Wade ($1)
SG: Kobe Bryant ($4)
SF: LeBron James ($5)
PF: Kevin Garnett ($1)
C: Hakeem Olajuwon ($1)

Bench: Jerry West ($3)

Total = $15

No offense, but your team is probably the worst fuccking one in the entire thread.

Absolutely no three point shooting except for LBJ and Kobe who arn't amazing at it. Three players who are ball hogs.

If anyone puts just one of LBJ, Wade, Kobe on their team they need to surround them with shooters. Let alone someone as retarded to put all three of them on there.

[BigTicket]

John Stockton - Passing/defense/shooting - 2$
Michael Jordan - Scoring/defense - 5$
Kevin Durant - Scoring/shooting - 2$
Kevin Garnett - Defense/midrange - 1$
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - Post/defense - 5$

The two greatest players ever in Jordan and Kareem, surrounded by an ideal supporting cast (passing/shooting/defense). No weaknesses, and no possible way you could stop all of them at once.

[Kobe_6/8]

Frazier
Kobe
LeBron
Duncan
Shaq

[blacknapalm]

stockton - $2
jordan - $5
bird - $4
duncan - $3
hakeem - $1

i came up w/ the same lineup as sexsymbol. proven winners, no one really overlaps much.

gritty, efficient stockton at PG. will set hard screens...as many already know, stockton was somewhat of a dirty player. he will do what it takes to win. i want him on my side.

jordan is familiar playing w/ him and well, he's jordan. give me the best player on the court on most nights.

bird would spread the floor and bring about his versatility both passing in the full court and posting up, while bringing in the occasional double. team player/high bball IQ.

duncan is the best PF ever and had one of the best finals runs ever. total steal at this price rate and i have no doubt he would mesh with this team. he and hakeem would anchor that defense and both would be crazy low post options. both are also exceptional passers for when bird or jordan cut to the hoop. jordan has also said that he would have loved to play with hakeem. have fun w/ that inside-out game.

i can't even imagine that perimeter defense between stockton and jordan. stockton led the league in steals twice. if you get past them, hakeem and duncan will be waiting.

the only thing this team would be somewhat lacking in is always converting points from turnovers. definitely will be some turnovers, but i'm not sure the raw athleticism is always there to get fast break points, at least against these other legends and given their skillsets.

they'll kill in the halfcourt though...basically three players that don't need the ball in their hands to be a major factor and it's not like the other two need it that much anyway. i didn't just take the best five players. i factored in how they would mesh.

[MaxFly]

Based on the positions outlined...

PG: Oscar ($4)
SG: Bryant ($4)
SF: Durant ($2)
PF: Duncan ($3)
C: Shaq ($2)

Independent of those positions...

PG: LeBron ($5)
SG: Jordan ($5)
SF: Durant ($2)
PF: Garnett ($1)
C: Shaq ($2)

[jayfan]

No need to spend any more than $9.

Frazier $1
Jordan $5
Pippen $1
Garnett $1
Olajuwon $1

This guy right here gets it

[nightprowler10]

Stockton
Jordan
Pippen
Duncan
Russell

You get GOAT potential defense and excellent offense, just lacks some perimeter shooting.

[Champ]

Magic - $5
Jordan - $5
Bird - $4
KG - $1
Bill Walton for free

Jordan with two of the best team players ever. KG at the elbow and a prime Walton on the block form a near-perfect two-way tandem up front.

Balanced offense and defense.

Superior team play, passing, competitiveness, and basketball IQ.

[Leroy Jetson]

$2 Stockton- Greatest passing PG
$5 Jordan - Goat
$4 bird - Arguably best SF
$3 Duncan- best PF
$1 Hakeem- top 3 center best bargain overall

No one's beating this team.
