    PG: Magic - His size, speed & incredible ball control would dominate today's PG's.
    SG: MJ - Not much of a 3pt shooter, but you can't question the talent.
    SF: Drexler - I think he was much more athletic than Bird & much quicker.
    PF: Garnett - I was torn between Garnett & Duncan, but Garnett's a muti dimensional player that can do more things & doesn't have to have the ball to make a difference.
    C: Dream - Wilt, Russell, & Jabbar were great, but Dream dominated a much more athletic level of talent. It's my belief that he would've given those 3 everything they could've handled if they had met during their prime.

    This would've been a dominate defensive team & an exciting offensive team.

    Nash
    Jordan
    Dream
    Lebron
    Garnett

    I feel disgusted with myself taking Nash and Garnett over Magic and Barkley, but the two former guys fit a lot better into the overall scheme despite being greatly inferior to their respective counterparts. Most would agree that the gap between Magic Johnson and whoever is your pick at #2 is greater than the gap at any other position (maybe even Jordan and Kobe). I have also stated many times that at his ultimate peak, Charles Barkley was better than any power forward in NBA history - Duncan included.

    I took Michael because, well, he's Michael. Dream over Shaq for the defense. Lebron over Bird because he's just flat out better than Larry Bird. I had to take Garnett because he's the most versatile team defender in NBA history and he can excel without the ball. And Nash over Magic simply because I need some perimeter shooting with Michael and Lebron on the wings already.
    I would probably be tempted just to drop Nash and run Lebron at the point with Kobe and Michael on the wings.

    PG: Magic
    SG: MJ
    SF: Bird
    PF: LeBron
    C: Hakeem or Shaq

    3 superb passers (Magic, Bird, LeBron), 2 glue-guys (Magic, Bird) plus plenty of speed and power.

    This is easy. I take these 5 guys...

    Stockton
    Big O
    Bird
    Magic
    Sabonis

    ...and tell them they're not allowed to dribble, only pass.

    Hot damn that s*** would be fun to watch.

    a 6'3 version of Yao at PG.
    a 6'6 version of Yao at SG.
    a 6'9 version of Yao at SF.
    a 6'11 version of Yao at PF.
    a 7'3 version of Yao at C.

    that's my 'dream' team. :D
    healthy bones of course. :)

    pg - Magic Johnson
    sg - Michael Jordan
    sf - LeBron James
    pf - Kevin Garnett
    c - Hakeem Olajuwon


    A fast break nightmare for any opponent. Great rebounding, passing, and defense. A little weak on three point shooting but it just wouldn't matter. They'd be a hell of a lot of fun to watch together.

    This thread is fun. Somebody should make an NBA Legends CCG, there's gotta be some nerd/sports fan overlap.

    A little slow

    Why is there a 7'3" version at center and not Yao himself?

    i don't know. :( it seems that the 7'5 or 7'6 version always break bones. smaller size may help. probably faster and jumper higher too. :)

    a team of 6'8" Nate Robinsons would be unstoppable!
