While with all of the egos it might be good to have someone who isn't looking to score, I just can't see picking Rodman when there are all of those great well rounded PF's in NBA history.
with all those high volume shooters, a garbage man might makes sense.

My all video game team. Kyle Korver and the rest doesn't matter. He will drop 80 and you will lose.

You want Kobe, arguably one of the most selfish basketball players of all time at PG? With that lineup I'd put LeBron at PG over Kobe.

There is no way in today's game that Wilt or Bill Russell could play the 4. Also in today's game I don't think Bird could play the 3. In there era's they could because it was a different game but for today I don't think so. Now if you're looking to put best players on the floor they would certainly qualify.

Its all time starters. How does today's game have anything to do with this?

This. There is no way on earth that any list should be missing Lebron.

I prefer players who walk off the court and wait their turn to get back on, instead of walking up to the winners and asking "got a spot for me?"

I am not understanding the selection of Bill Russell by many of the posters. His claim to immortality isn't that he was better than Wilt Chamberlain-- it's that his team was better than Wilt's. That had little to do with Bill himself.

For **** sake, Wilt had 55 REBOUNDS in a game against Bill.

The choice at 4 is between Karl Malone or Tim Duncan. That's pretty much it.

I got plenty of scorers on my team, Russell is perhaps the greatest defender and rebounder ever plus a great passer and an incredibly smart player. I don't get what's not to understand.
