If you had to pick a team of the most exciting players in NBA history, who would you pick?
For me I think I’ll have some orthodox choices (guys who dunk it all day long) then some ones you may disagree with due to the fact I’m a sucker for flashy passes and athletic lay-ups and powerful – blocks or otherwise – which others don’t seem to like as much which is sad.
Starters
PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Julius Erving
PF: Larry Nance
C: Shaquille O’Neal
Subs:
Rajon Rondo – PG
Jason Williams – PG
Vince Carter – SG
Dominique Wilkins – SF
Lebron James – SF
Blake Griffin – PF
Hakeem Olajuwon – C
A lot of guys I liked were snubbed, especially in the backcourt.
It’ll be interesting to see other people’s teams and preferences.

I think for me…
PG – Rose (people seem to forget just how freaking explosive he was 2009-2011)
SG – Prime Kobe (I hate him but just an excitement machine, from dunks to ridiculous shooting streaks)
SF – Julius Erving
PF – Griffin
C – Shaq
This is pretty heavily based on the fact that I’ve only been watching bball since the 90s as well as some highlights. For a bench I include the likes of Carter, Westbrook, Gerald Green, Prime Wade, and maybe Kyrie but I’m a bit biased there 😛

Thank You! I was just about to ask how no one has mentioned the Iceman Gervin yet.
I understand that MJ is in front of him, but he easily could make the bench in an all-excitement team.

-Muggsy Bogues- Nothing is more exiting than having a midget on the court.
-Mj- The most exiting player I’ve ever seen.
-Dominique Wilkens- Human highlight reel, top 5 dunker all time and a hell of a player.
-Charles Barkley (young version)- Not talking the round mound of rebound, but in his early days with the sixers he was one of the most explosive players I’ve ever seen.
-Mutombo- The only thing more exiting than a dunk is a blocked dunk ( and a little finger wag).

Hard to argue a lot of these choices, but want to add a few names to the mix
PG Magic Johnson (A sublime passer)
SG Pete Maravich (an awesome mix of flash and technique)
C Javale McGhee (pure entertainment, if not for the reasons of the other players)
SF Dr J (a class act, with graceful hops)
PF Darryl Dawkins (a rim-rattler of the highest order)
PG Rafer ‘Skip to my Lou’ Alston (The herald of the And1 Generation)
SG Vince Carter (Jaw-dropping dunks during his early career)
C Wilt Chamberlain (not only an incredible talent, but once led the league in assists!)
SF Dominique Wilkins (one of the best offensive players of all time)
PF Blake Griffin (a one-man dunkfest)
OTHER NOMINEES
Allen Iverson (a 6 foot wrecking ball)
Timmy Hardaway (the UTEP-2 STEP = one of the most awesome moves of all time)
Tracy McGrady (an incredible skill-set, my favourite player)
Darius Miles (would never want him on my team, but had a unique skillset)
Connie Hawkins (Dr J, before Dr J)
David Thompson (Skywalker lived up to his nickname)

Rose ( 2011) Not a big fan but damn they way he got to the rim with such power and explosiveness.
Kobe( 02-06)His 40+ points in many consecutive games was amazing, 81 points.
Lebron- I remember watching every game during his first mvp season. So fun to watch him grow and Cavs go 66-16 that season. Dunk after dunk after dunk. When he got hot it was fun to watch.
Blake Griffin- This does not mean I think hes even close to the best PF right now but when it comes to excitement the dude is always on the espn 10 plays. Hes a highlight.
Shaq- Freak of nature with his size and athleticism. Could dominate a game or series when he was in his prime.

To change it up I limited myself to current players as they are. No “THIS GUY but in his prime”
PG: Rajon Rondo – Top 3 passer in the league, his passes(and sometimes fake passes) wind up on highlight reels
SG: Russell Westbrook – Thunderous dunker, incredibly explosive.
SF: LeBron James – Duh
PF: Blake Griffin – Monster dunker
C: Serge Ibaka – Purely for the blocks

As of right now regardless of position:
G – Steph Curry: Crossover, hesitation to the around the back dribble and then pull up from deep. He makes it look so easy. He’s so much fun to watch.
G – D. Rose: Happy to hear he’s now 100% because when healthy he’s arguably the most exciting player to watch in the NBA. Love seeing him change directions, avoid defenders, attack the basket, shoot the floater and dunk over big men.
G – Russ Westbrook: He’s wreckless, but it’s so exciting to watch. I think he’s the most freakishly explosive athlete in the NBA. I don’t think anybody’s first step is quicker.
G – Kobe: Even though he’s past his prime, he’s still producing major highlight reels. Love his skill set, footwork, confidence, etc.
F – Blake Griffin: Best in game dunker since Vince Carter IMO.
