Create the Best 5 Man "TEAM!" of All Time

PG: great passer
SG: good passer
SF: Terrence Williams
PF: Derrick Caracter
C: Matt Bonner

T-will because he is the ultimate "put the team on my back" player. Caracter to springboard t-will over everybody and dunk... easy 2 points. Matt Bonner because he will stay out of the lane and he will be t-will's designated shirt picker-upper.

 

Probably need a "modern" team and a "historical" team. Many of you don't appear familiar with the "old" players like the big "O", Cousey, Wilt, etc.

 

I'd like a team that is full of unpredictable players since it's really hard to scout.

1st team:
PG: Magic
SG: Ginobili
SF: Bird
PF: Dirk
C: Sabonis (who knows what prime Sabonis was able to do)

2nd team:
PG: Nash
SG: Starks
SF: Durant
PF: Rodman
C: Hakeem

 

Just for fun:

PG: Penny
SG: McGrady
SF: Nowitzki
PF: Sampson
C: Hakeem

 

How are there so many lists that dont have either Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant on them

 

Chris Paul
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Dennis Rodman
Hakeem Olajuwon

Simply replacing the two weakest positions of the greatest team of all time with Chris Paul and Hakeem. Honestly I can't think of a better two-way team.

 

PG - Allen Iverson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - Lebron James
PF - Hakeem Olajuwon
C - Shaq

There's nobody, in their prime, that could defend these players! My roster is sick son!!!

 

PG - Magic Johnson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - LeBron James
PF - Hakeem Olajuwon
C - Wilt Chamberlain

 

Magic Johnson -6'9 great passing/scoring pg easily creates
Mismatches
Michael Jordan -can't name a player better than mike
Larry Bird -probably te best Overallshooter all time
Hakeem Olajuwon -IMO 2nd best player all time
Shaquille O'neal- backs down to NO one!

Coach Red Auerbach
90's no doubt greatest decade in basketball history

 

Center = shaq lakers prime most dominant force ever

Power forward= duncun spurs championship runs

Small forward= lebron james clevland years playing the scottie pippen beefed up role

Shooting guard= jordan 72/10 bulls

Point guard= steve nash mvp years /3pt shooting defense not needed with two 7footers

Considerations = rodman, hakeem, majic, kobe, garnett

 

Stockton (yes magic is better, but I need a great shooting point guard to spread the floor).
Jordan
Bird
Mchale
Olajuwon

 

This would be a very tough team to beat also.

 

PG - Magic Johnson
Creates obvious matchup problems with his size, plus leading a team like this would showcase what an elite passer/playmaker he really is.

SG - Michael Jordan
No real need to explain this one.

SF - Larry Bird
I could have went a few ways here but I really wanted to add some outside/ 3-point shooting here. Plus he is a very unselfish player and willing passer......with this lineup you will need that.

PF - Dennis Rodman
Obviously not anywhere near the best overall PF but he fits this team perfectly. Don't really need scoring here just defense, rebounding, and hustle....perfect.

C - Wilt Chamberlain
Controls the paint and is the obvious low-post threat to make this team complete.

 

This is not my team, but it has three of the top ten scorers......... of all time.

Inside there are lots and lots of points scored, shots blocked and rebounds. I personally don't see the need for a pure shooter when you get to choose from all time greats.

 

Still say this team runs roughshed over most if not all of the teams

 

Thomas and Jordan will fight before, during and after a game. Doubtful that a team that plays 3 on 5 will win any game as good as those players are.

 

JKidd
Kobe
Iguodala
Nowitzki
Hakeem

I choose these players as it would be a perfect chemistry. Jkidd playmaker, Kobe great outside shooter and can create his own shots. Iggy is very underrated player mainly because of his injuries but he is a great defender overall good player and hes not selfish. Nowitzki would give PFs nightmare with his outside shots and create mismatch. Hakeem's defense with blocks n rebounding would complete this team. 3-point threat, defense, great court vision, unselfish players = great team.
