Karl Malone puts Scottie Pippen in his all-time starting five.....no Michael Jordan

[stepbackj34spud]

I hate when old nikkas/players rank players and make all-time starting teams

 

[Alexander The Great]

That should actually be it's own thread

So we can give these human beings the respect they deserve.

NBAtv needs to do a series on this

better yet do an extensive report and have voting from players, former players, coaches, writers, gms, etc to vote on the All Time All NBA 1st, 2nd, and 3rd teams and have each group interviewed together

Karl was justified in putting Stockton as his point cuz that was his point guard for much of his career. But to not have Jordan on there is a joke. But give me Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Duncan and Bron and I would take my chances against anyone. I messed with Bird back in the day and he is definitely one of the greatest ever but if they were both in their prime now I am pretty sure most Gm's would pick Bron over him.

My team:
Westbrook I like his defense and he can on and off the ball and he can get to the rim at will
Durant
Lebron
Duncan
Russell

I like this team a lot. It's missing Wilt but I rather Russell for this team.

GOT DAMN you dont know shyt about basketball breh



WHAT THE fukk?!

I really don't understand how you can fault the man for choosing Big O (who averaged a triple double for a damn season) over MJ.

I have more problems with him picking Stockton over Magic/Zeke.

The team he created is solid as hell. Stockton (who is still a damn good PG) setting up 4 athletic anomalies. They don't really have holes as a lineup. Big O and Wilt are offensive monsters. Bron is the slasher. Scottie is the glue guy. Only 1 guy that can really demand the ball offensively (Wilt). They can all rebound and defend for the most part. I think the 5 he came up with makes sense. There's not a lot of clashing.

Ain't no way in hell Jordan is gonna be able to play with a center that dominates the paint because that clogs shyt up for his game.

Kobe is a selfish chucker, I don't need that. He is too ball dominate and doesn't have the athletic ability I want. I don't want a scoring SG at PG. I want a combo guard who can defend, play a role and do it damn good. Kobe would fukk my team up. I might as well create one of these I think this is the best player his position teams that would never fit but look good on paper then.

You just described Westbrook.

 

[LezJepzin]

I can't follow a black redneck that knocked up 13yr old and made a career bullying players half his size seriously anyway


fukk Karl Malone as a pedophile, a salty 1997 NBA MVP (I remember your mean-muggin' photo in the Delta Center rafters nikka) and a deadbeat dad

 

[Liquid]

LOL@LeBron being better than Larry Legend.

Whats so funny? LeBron IS better than Bird

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

People actually saying Jordan was overrated & not putting him as one of the top 5 to ever do it???

 

[Taadow]

I don't see the problem with his team.

 

[Born2BKing]

My team:
Westbrook I like his defense and he can on and off the ball and he can get to the rim at will
Durant
Lebron
Duncan
Russell

I like this team a lot. It's missing Wilt but I rather Russell for this team.

 

[HoLLaBaCK]

Karl used to be one of my favorite players...

Now whenever he opens his mouth I just

Spoiler

Things aint been the same since he put on that Lakers jersey

 

[Mic-Nificent]

KG's numbers are comparable and he's a better defender.

If KG had 2 more rings he would be considered better than Duncan

Defensively the gap between Duncan and KG really isn't all that great. KG has the edge but not by much.

Offensively though I'd take Duncan over KG 95% of the time.

And lets not even get started on intangibles....

 

[bigesco]

Magic
Kobe
Jordan
LBJ
Shaq

 

[Street Knowledge]

Karl Malone might be the most overrated player ever
