Kobe, KD and Bron will win because their capability (especially Kobe and Bron) to play lockdown one on one defense. Pick and rolls against them would be useless.

As an 80's baby it wouldnt even be close....Bird, MJ and Magic would be lucky to score more then 2 baskets

Kobe/KD and Bron would win, all 3 guys have averaged over 30ppg in their careers, and all 3 play better defense than Bird & Magic did.


Not to mention they all played above the rim in their primes. Their althecticism in a half court game would be epically epicsome.

Lebron and Durant are not Lockdown Defenders. They are good on help d and fit into team concepts but in one on one only Kobe is capable of actually "locking" a talented scorer down.
you can't be a lockdown defender and go multiple games without personal fouls.

The team with Jordan on it would win,
essentially he could if lebron or durant was guarding him. Kobe might make it hard.
Plus magic and bird were much better rebounders than lebron and durant. so he could jack em up the whole game and all they have to do is crash the boards.

You guys are overrating athleticism.

You'd prolly pick a squad with blake griffin, derrick rose, and russel westbrook over jordan , magic , and bird for the reasons you're giving.

We know who doesn't watch basketball in here:heh:


lol at 2006 Kobe not being on LeBron or Jordan's level:dead:

In the last 47 seasons of NBA basketball, only Michael Jordan in 87 and 2006 Kobe Bryant have been able to maintain a 35+ ppg average:ufdup:


2006 Kobe is probably the most dangerous all-around scorer in league history. Plus, he was still playing defense at that time:ohlawd:
don't change the direction of this thread with stanning

No, athleticism is a compliment to their all around game and defensive talent. You're keying on athleticism, not everyone else.

BTW, if Kobe, KD, and Bron didn't have supreme athleticism, they'd be MJ,Magic and Bird (sans MJ)

Move your own goal post brehs.
