Obviously, this is a topic that has been discussed before. Many times before. However, I haven't done it in awhile, and I wanted to get everybody's opinion again... just see where everyone stands. So, you have to pick your all-time 12-man roster, all-star game style (4 guards, 4 forwards, 2 centers, 2 utility players). I'm more interested in who's on your team than who's starting etc., but if you feel like doing that too, go ahead. Here's mine: Point Guards: Oscar Robertson Magic Johnson Shooting Guards: Julius Erving Jerry West Small Forwards: Larry Bird Scottie Pippen Power Forwards: Bill Russell Tim Duncan Centers: Wilt Chamberlain Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 11th & 12th: Hakeem Olajuwon John Stockton Yeah, I did kinda cheat with Russell at power forward. So sue me!
No Jordan? PG: Magic Stockton SG: Jordan Drexler SF: Bird Kevin McHale (couldn't think of another one) PF: Duncan Garnett C: Olajuwon O'Neal Utility: Kidd Robinson
Point Guards: Magic Johnson Oscar Robertson Shooting Guards: Michael Jordan Jerry West Small Forwards: Larry Bird Julius Erving Power Forwards: Tim Duncan Charles Barkley(I'm serious...Barkley circa '93 was much better than Karl Malone has ever been) Centers: Hakeem Olajuwon Wilt Chamberlain 11th & 12th: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Elgin Baylor Drexlerfan22, I understand that you don't think MJ is as good as everyone thinks he is, but that is one glaring omission. What exactly was Dr. J better than MJ at? You can ask the same about Pippen and West.
PG - Oscar Robertson PG - Magic Johnson SG - Michael Jordan SG - Jerry West SF - Larry Bird SF - Elgin Baylor PF - Tim Duncan PF - Karl Malone C - Kareem Abdul Jabbar C - Wilt Chamberlain G/F - Julius Erving C - Hakeem Olajuwon I'd like to find a way to fit in Zeke and Russell, but I really wouldn't take them over the guys up there.
PG - Oscar Robertson PG - Magic Johnson SG - Michael Jordan SG - Julius Erving SF - Larry Bird SF - Kevin Garnett PF - Tim Duncan PF - Bill Russell C - Shaquille O'neal C - Wilt Chamberlain Util - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Util - Hakeem Olajuwon let's face it...don't need a guard reserve here...there's no way Magic or MJ need much of a rest.
All-Time Fun and Run and Pass and Dunk Team... PG: Magic Cousy SG: Mike Clyde SF: Dr. J Rick Barry PF: Bird Chuck C: Dream Young Wilt Util: Pistol 'Nique
Spud Webb Michael Jordan Vince Carter Jason Richardson Julius Earving Kenny Walker Dominuque Wilkins Antonio McDyess Darryl Dawkins Shawn Kemp David Thompson Brent Barry I don't know how many games they would win, but I would sell a lot of tickets.
