NBA build a team (all time)

[bringmagicback]

Bored?

You run a team, you have 12 total spots, come up with a starting 5, a 2nd 5, and 2 extras. Any player past present. Remember that these guys have to fit together, play together, so for me I didnt want guys that arent team players or cant play with other stars. I wanted athletic first 5 and more role types for my 2nd 5.

1: Magic/ obvious
2: Kobe/ 2nd best 2guard ever amazing D ect
3: Bird/ obvious
4: Garnett/ athletic, scorer, rebounder, shot blocker, can run
5: Duncan/ Not the best 5 imo but with this team, I think he fits well

2nd 5

1: Stockton/2nd best pg, alltime leader in steals, assists, great defender
2: D-Wade/ Dont have an explanation, need athleticism off my bench.
3: R Miller/ wanted a shooter, throat slasher, game closer
4: K Malone/ pretty obvious choice
5: Olajuwon/ This was my toughest choice with all the great 5's out there. I finally chose him based on stats. all time leader in blocks, 12th in rebounds, 9th in steals, 11th points. Basically he can do whatever you ask, also athletic.

Extra 2

1: Shaq/ big body, top 3 centers of all time,
2: Chris Mullin/ because I thought of him and really wanted him on my team.

Am I reading this correctly? You have Stockton, Malone, KG, Chris Mullen (lol) but left out the greatest player in the history of the sport?

[isufan]

Starters: Jordan, Pippen, a guy that can rebound like Rodman, another big guy that can make some layups and play defense, and a three point shooter

Bench: Some other guys

No jordan. You lose.

I had to double take. No Jordan? Really?

[BloodyBuddy]

PG-Stockton
SG-Jordan
SF-Lebron
PF-Garnett
C-Shaq

Bench:
Sharp Shooter-Reggie Miller
D Stopper-Gary Payton
Mismatch Problem-Dirk Nowitzki
Skilled Big Man-Duncan

Coach-Phil Jackson

[Yes13]

My team going against yours

Allen Iverson-Like his scoring, and with Wilt and Robinson behind him, he can gamble on defense
Michael Jordan-Best ever, great defender
Lebron James-Beast, great defender
David Robinson-Glue guy, great defender
Wilt Chamberlain-Second best ever

Steve Kerr-3 point shooter
Dennis Rodman-Rebounder, defender
Kevin Durant-Needed scoring punch
Derron Williams-When Iverson fails at distributing, couldn't think of another PG
Dwight Howard-back up center

I had to double take. No Jordan? Really?

Either an oversight from obviousness (a few players' inclusion requires no thinking, hence easy to forget) or the chemistry factor (he did mention eliminating "players who can't play with other stars.")

[CycloneYoda]

Magic
Jordan
Kareem
Wilt
Bird

No bench

[Cybyassociation]

No Chamberlain? No Jabaar? No Jordan? No Mark Price?

All sorts of fail in this one.

[bringmagicback]

The reason for no Jordan is stated, team players that can play with other stars.

Jordan is without a doubt the most selfish me first player in the history of sport. No way could he ever play on a team where anyone is even near his level. Hell he couldnt even play with pippen half the time.

[eastman]

PG-Stockton
SG-Jordan
SF-Lebron
PF-Malone
C-Shaq

Bench- magic...thats all I need

[Wesley]

What about Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Bob Pettit, Bob Cousy, and Moses Malone?

No Chamberlain? No Jabaar? No Jordan? No Mark Price?

Mark Price is the ****!!!! I have actually forgotten about him, he was legit on tecmo basketball!

Jabaar is one of my all time favorites, but I think the others are a better fit for my team. Chamberlain wasnt considered, imo he dominated due to size and lack of size/skill of other players rather than him just being great. I think modern players would dominate him. Not his fault.
