    PG: great passer
    SG: good passer
    SF: Terrence Williams
    PF: Derrick Caracter
    C: Matt Bonner

    T-will because he is the ultimate "put the team on my back" player. Caracter to springboard t-will over everybody and dunk... easy 2 points. Matt Bonner because he will stay out of the lane and he will be t-will's designated shirt picker-upper.

    Probably need a "modern" team and a "historical" team. Many of you don't appear familiar with the "old" players like the big "O", Cousey, Wilt, etc.

    I'd like a team that is full of unpredictable players since it's really hard to scout.

    1st team:
    PG: Magic
    SG: Ginobili
    SF: Bird
    PF: Dirk
    C: Sabonis (who knows what prime Sabonis was able to do)

    2nd team:
    PG: Nash
    SG: Starks
    SF: Durant
    PF: Rodman
    C: Hakeem

    PG: Penny

    Chris Paul
    Michael Jordan
    Scottie Pippen
    Dennis Rodman
    Hakeem Olajuwon

    Simply replacing the two weakest positions of the greatest team of all time with Chris Paul and Hakeem. Honestly I can't think of a better two-way team.

    Magic Johnson -6'9 great passing/scoring pg easily creates
    Mismatches
    Michael Jordan -can't name a player better than mike
    Larry Bird -probably te best Overallshooter all time
    Hakeem Olajuwon -IMO 2nd best player all time
    Shaquille O'neal- backs down to NO one!

    Coach Red Auerbach
    90's no doubt greatest decade in basketball history

    Center = shaq lakers prime most dominant force ever

    Power forward= duncun spurs championship runs

    Small forward= lebron james clevland years playing the scottie pippen beefed up role

    Shooting guard= jordan 72/10 bulls

    Point guard= steve nash mvp years /3pt shooting defense not needed with two 7footers

    Considerations = rodman, hakeem, majic, kobe, garnett

    Stockton (yes magic is better, but I need a great shooting point guard to spread the floor).
    Jordan
    Bird
    Mchale
    Olajuwon

    This would be a very tough team to beat also.

    PG - Magic Johnson
    Creates obvious matchup problems with his size, plus leading a team like this would showcase what an elite passer/playmaker he really is.

    SG - Michael Jordan
    No real need to explain this one.

    SF - Larry Bird
    I could have went a few ways here but I really wanted to add some outside/ 3-point shooting here. Plus he is a very unselfish player and willing passer......with this lineup you will need that.

    PF - Dennis Rodman
    Obviously not anywhere near the best overall PF but he fits this team perfectly. Don't really need scoring here just defense, rebounding, and hustle....perfect.

    C - Wilt Chamberlain
    Controls the paint and is the obvious low-post threat to make this team complete.

    This is not my team, but it has three of the top ten scorers......... of all time.

    Inside there are lots and lots of points scored, shots blocked and rebounds. I personally don't see the need for a pure shooter when you get to choose from all time greats.

    Thomas and Jordan will fight before, during and after a game. Doubtful that a team that plays 3 on 5 will win any game as good as those players are.

    JKidd
    Kobe
    Iguodala
    Nowitzki
    Hakeem

    I choose these players as it would be a perfect chemistry. Jkidd playmaker, Kobe great outside shooter and can create his own shots. Iggy is very underrated player mainly because of his injuries but he is a great defender overall good player and hes not selfish. Nowitzki would give PFs nightmare with his outside shots and create mismatch. Hakeem's defense with blocks n rebounding would complete this team. 3-point threat, defense, great court vision, unselfish players = great team.
