    PG Iverson
    SG Kobe
    SF McGrady (people forget how good he was)
    PF Duncan
    C Shaq

    Bron had only been playing a year at this point even though he was better than more than 90% of the league then that's why I left him off.

    No they don't, I see him being overrated all the time

    Overrated??? Only injuries stopped him from having a HOF career.

    If he could of finally had some playoff success then yea, otherwise you can look at Gilbert Arenas' stats and say he would of had a hof career had he not got hurt, he was never better than Kobe even when he was averaging more

    in reality this is the best (and most accurate) lineup from 00-04

    pg-Kidd (Iverson was a sg)
    sg-Kobe
    sf-Mcgrady was a sg in Orlando and Pierce was a sg early on in his career, wasn't till 04 or after that they made the transition, so if they had to have played all 4 years then its betweem Peja, Marion or Jefferson, if not then a young Lebron or old Jordan
    pf-Duncan
    C-Shaq

    Not being better than Kobe doesnt mean Tmac wasnt dope on the court, and Arenas is a terrible comparison he was a pg who played like a gunning sg he was a very good player but wasn't a good PG, Tmac was among the elite in his prime , Kobe was a better player because he was a much better defender but offensively there wasnt much of a gap at all if any..Tmac was giving 26-30ppg 5ast 5rpg before those injuries, he was far from overrated. Even Kobe himself said Tracy was his toughest rival on the court.

    J Kidd bruh was a walkin triple double at dis time period
    Kobe tough decision cuz da SG position was stacked at da time
    T-Mac like others said complete monster in his prime
    KG dis was a tough decision cuz of da great power forwards at da time but leadin ya team in 5 different categories was impressive as hell him nd Pierce were da only ones doin dat at da time
    Shaq just a destructive terror in da early 2000's

    I cant ignore he couldn't get out the first round, losing 3 straight game 7's, I'm not saying he wasn't nice I just think people overrate him
