     Somebody the other day introduced an interesting idea in another thread when they tried to make a modern-day equivalent of the historic 95-95 Bulls.  I think they sort of botched it, but I wanted to make this thread to do the same thing with those types of legendary teams.  I took players from today who are of a similar caliber and possess a similar skillset and position to the players of those teams.  Or, in the case of Michael Jordan, I really had to pick Lebron because let’s be honest, no one else but maybe Durant has that kind of gravitas and certainly no shooting guard.

     

    95-96 Bulls

    C – Robin Lopez (Luc Longley)

    PF – Kenneth Faried (Dennis Rodman)

    SF – Paul George (Scottie Pippen)

    SG – CJ Miles (Ron Harper)

    PG – Lebron James (Michael Jordan)

    6th – Chandler Parsons (Toni Kukoc)

    Marco Belinelli (Steve Kerr)

    Aaron Gray (Bill Wennington)

    Darrell Arthur (Dickey Simpkins)

     

    85-86 Celtics (went 67-15)

    C – Pau Gasol (Robert Parish)

    PF – Lamarcus Aldridge (Kevin McHale)

    SF – Kevin Durant (Larry Bird)

    SG – Gerald Henderson (Danny Ainge)

    PG – Alec Burks (Dennis Johnson)

    6th – Jermaine O’Neal (Bill Walton)

    CJ Watson (Jerry Sichting)

    Jeff Taylor (Scott Wedman)

    Alec Burks isn’t a point guard.

      Neither was Dennis Johnson, really.  That team had two combo guards and no true point guards.
