I'd like to think that ? is a basketball fan. If he ever got bored, he would probably put together a tournament traversing the space-time continuum of the best dudes to ever lace em up.

Who would be in your Starting 5 All time?
What about the first 5 off of the bench?


You can project out the careers of any current players and add them to your lists if you think they could compete.

Defend your choices. Give a rationale and some context. Stats, hardware, rings and records to build your case are welcome.
Feel free to drop some imagery as well.

Come correct though. Ain't no sorry ass ? welcome on this court.

Who yall got?

    All guys I mentioned are top 3 players at their respective positions imo that's pretty all the justification I need.

    C-Shaq
    PF-Malone
    SF-Pippen
    SG-Kobe
    PG-LBJ - he has to play PG for me, not SF. He only gets this spot over Isaiah because of his size/mismatch

    ^^^ Outside of the box- I like it. Especially having Lord of the Rings in your starting five. He never gets enough credit.
    I also see no Kobe or Lebron. Points for creativity - we won't see a lot of that on here.

    Yeah. This team is stacked.

    I like that we got Pippen on a team. Wasn't sure how much love he would get in this thread. Dude did yeoman's work on the defensive end.

    PG Lebron
    SG MJ
    SF Bird
    PF Durant
    C Hakeem

    PG Magic
    SG Kobe
    SF Pippen
    PF Duncan
    C Shaq.

    First team Lebron as the playmaker surrounded by shooters. That's when he's at his best. MJ with the rock at the end of the game. Spread the floor, super fast paced 'Steve Nash suns' type of offense.

    Second unit slow down the pace. Pound it inside to shaq and timmy. Kobe for offense when needed but spending most his energy on d unless he got a mismatch. Pippen on the other teams best player.

    80-2

    We got a lot of new blood in here. This roster is long and athletic as hell. Cats would have a tough time getting buckets against them

    And points for rocking with the baby-faced assassin. Yall got to remember this is the All time team. Imagine If Curry keeps getting better and his confidence keeps growing. I can't imagine a more lethal guard on the court

    I don't have Kobe or Bron on my team not because of basketball reasons but because I don't want those 2 self centered egotistical chumps coming off my bench and causing locker room issues, thinking about it I'll have to boot Isaiah off the squad because of Jordan so let change my backup point to Stockton
