canadabasketballisrisingParticipantWho would win in a 7 game series with current NBA rules? What is the BETTER TEAM not 12 players
All players are in their best/ prime NBA seasons..
Comment below.
1
J Kidd. Luka
Jordan. Drazen J. Dumars
Pippen. R. Artest
A Davis. K Anthony Towns
D Robinson. B Walton Dwight HowardThis team was picked not with the best individual player available each time (chemistry matters) but to make the best overall team. I think that the 12 best players don’t make a better team because there is only one ball and other things also matter-players who excel with the “dirty” work, shooters who play well off the ball, ect. Players were picked because they fit 2 things-defensive versatility (can switch just about everything) and can shoot (only Dwight can’t). These things fit perfectly into the triangle offence and modern basketball- as this is exactly what the best GM, Masai Ujiri is currently doing. Big guards (Jason Kidd, Luka, versatile wings Pippen, Artest, and quick bigs Robinson, Davis, Dwight, ect.) who can all switch pick and rolls.
Dazzling Dunks Team is very good, the points I am making are “nit-picking”First of all. With Hakeem and Rasheed Wallace; my depth of big men will win out as the game slows down in a 7 game series- at the 5- David Robinson, Bill Walton (7’2’ 250) and Dwight Howard are simply too big, athletic and physical for Hakeem and Rasheed Wallace- especially when Hakeem sits… it’s not just David vs Hakeem. Rasheed is not a 5 and was pushed around by an Andrew Bynum in the finals when forced out of position-what are a prime (Orlando magic) Dwight Howard and Bill Walton going to do with Rasheed as a backup 5? Who is going to control the paint and boards and tempo?
Secondly, there is no one on that roster who matches up athletically and physically with a prime Michael Jordan- Jordan was only ‘challenged’ against stronger/ physical opponents (bad boys)
Third of all, clear identity- everyone on my team is on the same page to play the triangle offence with Phil Jackson and Defensive versatility (switch everything) is the priority- 10 players on this team are first team defensive players at their position.
Dazzling Dunks
Chris Paul Fraizer N Archibald
Klay George
Durant Paul Piece
Garnett Karl Malone Elvin Hayes
Hakeem Rasheed Wallace
Coach KerrI tried to build a team with length and defensive versatility. This is also a team with multiple shot creators and no shortage of ways to score the ball. I have the lineup versatility to go big or small without sacrificing quickness. I know as the 8th seed I will be the underdog against Canada Basketball is Rising, as he has a prime Jordan and the most successful coach of all-time. However, I feel my team is perfectly suited to deal with the team he will put on the floor. I have big physical wings, in Klay Thompson, George, Pierce and Frazier, who can give Jordan different looks and make him work. I also have mobile bigs with length who will make it nearly impossible to get clean looks at the rim. I think my bigs will have an advantage over his in the post, as Hakeem will take David Robinson to school as he did in the 1995 playoffs, and Durant, Klay and Paul George will keep the floor spaced and it nearly impossible to double. I have a coach in steve kerr who is extremely familiar with the triangle offense that phil jackson will run, and will be well-prepared for it. And if it comes down to it, I have a player in Durant, who is the ultimate matchup nightmare and can go shot for shot with jordan if need be. Don’t get me wrong, Canada Basketball has a solid roster and this will be a tough matchup, but I am completely confident I’ve put together a roster that will prevail. The idea that a prime Jordan can’t be beat is a just a myth. First of all, he was (against the Pistons several times before finally breaking through) and second of all, he has never faced a roster who can present the kind of challenges mine will.

HitsterParticipantDazzling Dunks has an elite team with some great players especially Hakeem, KD, KG and with CP3 funning a GSW type offence the team would be fun to watch. But Team 1 has MJ with his best ever running mate Scottie Pippen and their coach Phil Jackson, throw in elite defenders like Kidd, Robinson, Artest and Dumars and I have to give them the edge.
Team 1 wins.1+ - Posted on: Sat, 08/07/2021 - 7:20am #1251598

OhCanada-ParticipantCanada basketball wins in a sweep. That teams too good. Pretty hard not to win after drafting Jordan to be honest.

NorrinRaddParticipantI’m going to be the spoiler here and say Jordan can be beat… Dazzling Dunks and Basketball Bloopers has a team designed perfectly to beat Jordan. I’ll admit, I’m surprised to vote that way so early against this team… tbh Both these teams are in my top 3 teams I don’t want to face from the beginning.

ZouldiersParticipantDazzling Dunks team has some scorers that can give problems to Canada Basketball’s team but having MJ/Pippen and coach Phil Jackson would make that team nearly impossible to beat especially with a supporting cast like Robinson, AD, Kidd, etc. Canada Basketball wins here but running a one style offense would make them predictable and a right team and an excellent coach would be able to stop that.

dmo21ParticipantMust be tough giving yourself the first pick for player and coach in your own game.. hahaha

Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipantWhile I still think my team could win, I recognized I was going to be fighting an uphill battle here trying to convince people. No sore loser though. This was a lot of fun.
