Having Malone without Stockton is like having a remote without batteries.
Its both are nothing.
That said... Team 2.
In the paint they shut down every other team in terms of defense.
The reason bigs like Shaq are dominant is because when they are doubleteamed the help can't provide enough to mean much.
But if Hakeem is sticking any of those centers and he calls David Robinson to help, that duo stops everyone of the bigs on the other teams.
The second best combo in the paint is team 3, but Duncan is David Robinson's protege and Hakeem is the only center on any team that knows how to shoot and stop hookshots well enough to shutdown Kareem.
Thats in the paint.
If you look at the whole list, the top three players with the pure will to win are MJ Kobe and AI. Two of those are on team 2.
D.Wade is the weak link in the squad but its good cause he knows to fall back. MJ, AI and Hakeem are the options, and David and Wade will be okay falling back cause they have done that before (David to Tim, later and Wade to Lebron).
