 Build your Favorite Team’s All-Time Starting Lineup, to challenge my Chicago Bulls, good luck. 

PG: Derrick Rose  

SG: Michael Jordan

SF: Scottie Pippen

PF: Dennis Rodman

C: Joakim Noah

In Rose you have the youngest MVP ever, and he will only get better with his mentality. Jordan is the best basketball player ever. Pippen, obviously also great, amazing defender. Rodman defense and rebounding, can also guard bigger Centers that Noah struggles with. Noah- what is my other option, Artis Gilmore? This team has enough scoring, I’ll take the speed, energy, and passing of Noah. 

Lakers, Boston, and Philly will all be tough but this team is sick. 

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

PG: Tony Parker

SG: Manu Ginobili

SF: George Gervin

PF: Tim Duncan

C: David Robinson

Bench: Avery Johnson, Sean Elliot, Bruce Bowen

[corneggParticipant]

PG Bob Cousy

SG John Havliek

SF Larry Bird

PF Dave Cowens

C Bill Russell

This team could beat the Bulls anyday.

 

[LipstickParticipant]

Seattle-OKC

PG – Gary Payton

SG – Ray Allen

SF – Kevin Durant

PF – Shawn Kemp

C – Serge Ibaka

Freakishly athletic lineup if Westbrook replaced Allen or Payton. 

[TWINTAParticipant]

good pick

[BasketBalAllanParticipant]

PG: Oscar Robertson
SG: Mitch Richmond
SF: Peja Stojakovic
PF: Chris Webber
C: Demarcus Cousins

Obviously not the best team out there but would certainly be fun to watch.

[LipstickParticipant]

yeah the D would struggle but Webber and Cousins would fit well off one another and then that 3 point shooting from Richmond and Peja would be so deadly

Magic

PG Penny Hardaway

SG Tracy Mcgrady

SF Grant Hill

PF Horace Grant

C Shaquille O’Neal

If injuries hadn’t derailed Hardaway and Hills careers with the Magic this team would be pretty damn good for an organization that’s only existed for 23 years.

A few thoughts about the other teams. Gilmore should definitly be on the Bulls over Noah. He wasn’t just a scorer, he was an excellent defender, rebounder and shot blocker, and his last couple seasons with the Bulls he averaged just 10 FGA per game, he certainly didn’t need alot of shots to be succesful. Sure that Bulls team has plenty of scoring with MJ, Rose and Pippen but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to have some scoring down low.

I know we have alot of Jazz fans on here so I’ll let them pick their team, but kinda surprising since the Jazz have never won a chip but they’d have a pretty awesome team especially on offense with the likes of Malone (best offensive PF ever), Stockton (arguably greatest passer ever), Pistol Pete Maravich and Adrian Dantley (probably the most under appreciated high volume scorer in NBA history).

Probably the four best teams on here though will end up being the Lakers, Celtics, 76ers and Bulls. IMO in that order. the 76ers will probably have the best front court (A prime Wilt Chamberlain, Barkley and Dr J) along with a frontcourt of AI and Maurice Cheeks, and that’s leaving guys like Moses Malone, Bobby Jones, Billy Cunningham and Hal Greer coming off the bench.

[MkadozaParticipant]

 The Spurs lineup could contend with any team, as was said earlier. Tony Parker, Ginobili, Gervin, Duncan and Robinson? That group would be a handful for any team to handle.

[Raef LaFrentzParticipant]

Minny T-wolves:

PG: Sam Cassell (Billups at back-up)

SG: Latrell Sprewell

SF: Wally Szczerbiak (Sam Mitchell at back-up)

PF: Kevin "The Big Ticket" Garnett (Tom Gugliotta at back-up)

C: Kevin Love

Now this team is pretty bad.. But that front line? Just TRY to get a rebound against them in their primes. Don’t ask them to play D other than KG though.

[LipstickParticipant]

lol I was thinking the same. The would have a loaded frontline especially when considering rebounding, but SG and SF they’re so thin.

Kind of depressing when comparing an all-time T-Wolves team to an all-time Orlando one.

[AsparagusParticipant]

 PG-Magic

SG-Kobe

SF-Worthy

PF-Dwight

C-Kareem 

 

[Toronto16Participant]

 PG – Kyle Lowry

SG – Vince Carter

SF – Tracy McGrady

PF – Chris Bosh

C – Antonio Davis

[frogmanParticipant]

Hahaha! Poor Raptor’s supporters with Kyle Lowry as your best point guard ever lol

[LipstickParticipant]

Still, when you have Vince Carter and T-Mac at the 2 and 3 and Bosh at the 4? Not too bad.

If only they could retain their stars. A team in Canada being a championship contender would be very, very interesting.

[JBickart14Participant]

PG-Magic – West
SG-Kobe – Goodrich
SF-Worthy – Baylor – Wilkes
PF-Kareem – Mikan
C-Shaq  – Wilt

[LerinErinParticipant]

 Pg Maravich

Sg Hudson

Sf Dominique Wilkins

PF Robert Pettit

C Deke or Moses

now first part of quandary Mutombo probably best center for this this team but Hawks also had Moses Malone…. Little known fact, Julius Erving was once a Hawk and actually played preseason games for them. 

[F_S mock]

 the heat would be pretty bad ass. 

pg- Tim Hardaway

sg- Dywane Wade

sf- Lebron James

pf- Chris Bosh/ Alonzo Mourning

c- Shaquille Oneal

bosh>alonzo because he’s a better complimentary piece to everyone but obviously, alonzo>bosh

There’s no way kyrie irving had a more impactful career than JJ Redick, and dont try and cater this to "their NBA careers" because Elton Brand had a better career than both Laettner and Battier

[PlatypusParticipant]

 Thomas – Billups – Dumars

Dumars – Bing – Hamilton

Can you imagine the defense from Rodman and Wallace together

Not a terrible team.

[BlakesanityParticipant]

PG Steve Nash/Jason Kidd
SG Rolando Blackman/Michael Finley
SF Mark Aguirre
PF Dirk
C ? Chandler

I think they would lose against every other team …

maybe starting with kidd at shooting guard, Aguirre on PF (don´t know if he can play that) and Dirk on C …

would mean problems on D …

[ItsVictorOladipoParticipant]

Surprised Amir hasn’t done the Warriors yet. They’d probably have one of the better teams out there:

PG Tim Hardaway/Guy Rodgers (often forgotten he still holds the franchise record for career assists and made four All-Star teams in his career, three with the Warriors)

SG Latrell Sprewell (probably best known for the choking incident he was also a very good shooting guard who could score, pass and defend, made three All-Star teams in 5 seasons with the Warriors before the incident)/Mitch Richmond (only played 3 years in G State but averaged over 20 PPG each year, might be ranked over Spree except Spree has the edge in defense and versatility).

SF Rick Barry (one of the greatest ever, his stats were just silly, if he didn’t go on a major hiatus from the NBA in the middle of his prime he’d probably be ranked even higher on All-time lists./Chris Mullin (Hall of Famer)

PF Nate Thurmond (this HOFer started off playing PF while Chamberlain manned the middle, he’ll do the same here)/Antawn Jamison (put up some nice years with the Warriors before being traded)

C Wilt Chamberlain (the young Wilt was the single greatest stat stuffer in NBA history)/Robert Parrish (Parish was just starting to scratch the surface of his potential with the Warriors but put up two straight years of over 17 PPG and 10 RPG before being traded to the Celtics.

Damn as a Magic fan I gotta say it must be rough being a Warriors fan. Almost all their best players get traded away right as they’re about to hit their prime or are in their prime: Hardaway, Richmond, Sprewell, Jamaal Wilkes (who didn’t quite make this list), Jamison, C-Webb, Wilt and Parish

[Betty HowardParticipant]

The only thing that Beal is still adjusting to is the increased physicality of the NBA game. That is something NBA veterans will test him on early and often as the season progresses. In Toronto, the 30-year-old journeyman wing player, Alan Anderson, got into Beal’s space in the first half and temporarily got Beal off his game.
