[45123]

Move my Moses to the starting lineup at 4, slide Pau to 5, and move Marc to the bench as my backup 5

 

[Brozay]

@93 til got a nice squad

 

[Captain Crunch]

If we go by advanced stats and 3's, I got the
best squad.
NBA & ABA Single Season Leaders and Records for Win Shares Per 48 Minutes | Basketball-Reference.com

2 of my starters rank top 20(Durant, David Robinson) in WS/48, 3 of my starters top 40 for WS/48(David Robinson; Durant, AD), all of my starters are in the top 80 for WS/48.

Five of my bench players are on in the top 250 for WS/48 all time(Kukoc; Terrelll Brandon, Brandon Roy, Sabonis, Kevin Love).

I got perimeter defenders(Durant; Marion, Terrell Brandon) and paint protecters(Sabonis; AD, D-Rob).

I got several elite shot creators(Harden; Durant) and great post scorers(Love, DRob).

The spacing on my team is ridiculous. Threes are worth more than 2s, as evidenced as 2015 playoffs of Grizzlies vs the Warriors. Damn near every player on my team can shoot 3s including my bench.

 

[Gangstar8]

any team with kobe bryant wins against those bum teams

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

I got inside scoring, outside scoring, perimeter all defense, interior all defense, assists, rebounds

maybe the only team where you could stake the claim of having 3 certified top 20 players, including one surefire top 10 (Kobe) and a top 3 PG all-time

@Gil Scott-Heroin would you vote me if I had drafted Kyle Lowry?

@FactsOnly

PG: John Stockton ('90) / Dennis Johnson ('82)
SG: Vince Carter ('01) / David Thompson ('78)
SF: LeBron James ('13) / Carmelo Anthony ('13) / Dominique Wilkins ('86)
PF: Moses Malone ('82) / Chris Webber ('01) / Robert Horry ('96)
C: Pau Gasol ('09) / Marc Gasol ('13)

My team unfukkwittable because it just is. Don't need advanced stats / analytics

#2 GOAT player LeBron, Top 5 PG Stockton, Top 10 Center Moses
Impregnable interior D with my two 7-footers Pau and Marc, on lineups where they're together good luck coming in the paint
Incomprehensible offensive firepower at the guard and forward positions, god bless you if you're trying to shut down a lineup with 3 or 4 of VC/Bron/Thompson/Melo/Nique/Webber/Moses on the floor
Impenetrable defense in the backcourt, Stock Dennis and Thompson will put the clamps on you and slow down any nonsense you wanna try with your guards
Rebounding off the chain. Passing off the chain. PNR play off the chain.
Perfect roleplayers for Lebron to play with in Dennis, Pau, Marc, Melo, VC, and the most clutch player of all time Robert Horry
16 rings on my roster
3 consensus top 25 players of all time (Bron, Stock, Moses)
2nd best playmaker and passer of all time in Stock, greatest rebounder of all time in Moses, GOAT dunker in VC
HOFers and future HOFers up the ass, won't even bother counting how many All-Star and All-NBA appearances

@FactsOnly
But can your team make a 3 though?

With your bench and starters, you always have a lineup where you got 3 NON-SHOOTERS on the floor together

Bron is at his best, when he's with bigs who can space the floor. I don't know how a Moses/Pau front court gon work with Bron, unless you plan on Moses staying at the corner

@C.Holla-damus you can't vote breh

and to add insult to injury you voted for yourself?

Melo, VC, Webber, Horry, Pau, Marc, Stockton, Nique, they all can shoot the ball. They're not all deadeye from the 3 but they all have effective jumpshots where you can't just play off of them. And the 3's I don't take and make are made up for by the fact that I got 7 >25ppg players and elite playmakers at any given position on my roster brodie
And Pau and Marc aren't spacing bigs who can play away from the basket and hit their shots? Along with having skills that complement Bron's game to a tee? Also lineups are fluid, I can play Moses off the bench and start Melo at the 4 if I want. Malone is deadly on the fastbreak and on the drive which gets Lebron his desired assists, and he's a beast on the offensive glass who will gobble up Bron's misses and turn them into points, aka what Tristan Thompson does. Premier dunker who can catch the alley too, which also helps with spacing. Don't forget, spacing isn't just about distance away from your teammates. Is he a perfect fit? No, but its Moses Malone b

And also if your team is predicated on 3 point shooting I got my lockdown backcourt D to cut that out and stay on your shooters, along with impeccable interior presence, a pickpocket in Stockton, and big guys who are super light and quick on their feet in Moses Pau Webber and Marc, making my PNR defense godly and reducing the effectiveness of any action you might use to get shooters open looks. So if you got shooters on your team, I'm definitely not gonna get rocked by them to the point where my guys can't make up the deficit.
