Is there any franchise that can beat this Lakers team

Clyde
Dream
Elvin
Harden
Westbrook

Horry off the bench for the big shots

 

Fastest guy on the court. But yeah...uh oh

 

In terms of talent no, but I think a ton of franchises could build a team that would be better constructed than that. With only one ball that team has redundant offensive talent and not great shooting.

Paul
Harden
Battier
Covington/Horry
Dream

I would take those 5 in a heartbeat over the Laker group despite Battier, Covington and Horry being significantly more limited overall players

 

Probably not.

Lebron ain't the best version of Lebrawn, there is that.
Shaq had some problems against an elite defensive Center, also susceptible to Hack a Shaq and FTs.
Kobe, you have to let him chuck and take bad shots.

AD gonna get his, couple blocks but no other stats.

Magic is gonna magic, but him sharing ball with Lebron and Kobe diminishes his passing.

Probably lost some shooting as Fisher, Horry, sharpshooters are all buried on the bench, getting only limited PT.

Cousy/Rondo/Kyrie/JoJo
Havlicek/Ray
Bird/Pierce/Tatum
KG/McHale
Bill Russell/Parish

Auerbach and Brad Stevens

Parker
Kawhi
Gervin. (Tmac as 15th man)
Duncan
Robinson

 

Replace Westbrook with John Lucas, and Elvin with Ralph.

 

Wasn't paying attention but would mean everything for them bc he only played 2 years for them.

Still I think they have enough weaknesses to choke it away, they have too many players that have to move off ball, are not shooters and the Triangle doesn't work necessarily that well with All MVP type players.

This team has all the talent that does not include shooting 3s efficiently.

There is also a good reason Bosh turned into a role player still in his prime, you cannot get your touches when there are 2 MVP players on the team.
It diminishes your existence.

 

All-time OKC

Paul
Russ
Harden
KD
?

 

GSW
Wilt Chamberiain 100 points a game
Chris Mullin best shooter of all time
Durant
Thompson
Curry

Wilt 100 points, 4 other starters 100 points

bench 30 points

 

I guess psychologically Lucas is more "Houston" than CP3.

 

This Miami team isn't too shabby:

Shaq
Mourning
LeBron
Wade
Hardaway

 

Hakeem, Clyde, Pippen, Mo Malone, Chris Paul
that team could play serious D

 

jordan
griffin
george
leonard
paul

pretty big lineup. switch paul with stevie frenchfries and if you wanna go bigger. can also switch griffin with odom or brand to bang down low with ad.

 

People would eventually realize that those all MVP teams do better in video games than on a court and being coached every year.

 

oakley
rodman
pippen
jordan
rose

switch rose with wade and that's a hell of a tough team. plus the refs would favor jordan's team than lerbon's.

 

Moses
Hakeem
Drexler
Harden
Paul

They wouldn't beat that Laker team, being honest, but that is the best Rockets's five.

 

Kareem's Skyhook is really underappreciated in this thread.
