And Coach.




This was a recent topic in Philly ESPN radio

So the point was you have to select three of your starting five from those eras
And you can fill in the rest with any other players

The catch was the team must be balanced.. so no Kobe & MJ teams .. Etc..

5 ShaQ (00s)
4 Cliff Robinson
3 Grant Hill (90s)
2 LeBron James
1 Gary Payton

6th : Andrian Dantley (80's)
Coach Chuck Daly

Magic McGrady Lebron Rodman Hakeem would be my starting five. My 6th man would be Ricky Pierce and my coach would be Pat Riley. Of course MJ and Duncan would be my picks if these were superteams but you said they have to be balanced so this is what I chose.

this would be a lot more interesting if you could only choose players that were on your team that decade

I think quick guards with power games would eat your team

Like A.I. & L.J. (grand mama)

I'd go Ewing, Barkley and Mark Price with Dominique

And run your team.

LJ is a power forward and Rodman would contain him. If AI gets off i'll just put Bron on him and shut him down. No way Ewing shyts on the Dream like that. And I aint worrying about Mark Price beating me. Barkley is the x-factor but Rodman will guard him when LJ is on the bench and I could live with him getting buckets. Now tell me what MP and AI gonna do in the backcourt against prime Magic and T-Mac but get abused? And who on your team is stopping Bron? I would take this matchup all day if these were real teams.
