    Every player is at full health, and peaking.
    80's NBA rules, hand checks, hard fouls, no zones, vasoline, razor blades.


    (poll coming up!)

    The best center in history with Dream, a star that doesn't need to dominate in Glide, a hall of fame power forward in Charles and a point guard that can facilitate and create memorable moments such as the kiss of death. Gotta go with the Rockets (with my homer glasses on)

    Akeem Olajuwon, Ralph Sampson, Mitchell Wiggins, Lewis Lloyd
    Allen Leavell, Rodney McCray, Robert Reid , John Lucas
    Craig Ehlo.
    But really

    Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Shaq, Rondo, and Rasheed Wallace would be pretty hard to beat.
    as well as
    Yao, Mutombo, Landry, Klow, Brooks, Battier, Tmac, Artest (if all are healthy etc.)

    Why wouldn't you have McAdoo in place of Green for the Lakers? Former MVP, 2 time All-NBA first team, 3 time scoring champ, one-time leader in rebounds. Much better than Green at the PF position. For that matter, prime Kupchak is probably better than prime Green.

    Dream, Sampson, Rodney, Reid/Lloyd, and Lucas would also be formidable.

    Great question!! This has got to be the best and certainly the MOST challenging poll I have seen on Clutchfans.


    I would read one line and think that's got to be it. . . until I read the next and was like, DAMN, that's a stacked team too! The further I went down, the harder it got!

    Man, I love this poll!! This is one for the ages. The Celtics one with Shaq, Garnett, Pierce, etc. blows my mind!

    All of them do really.

    Team is good, but no one can stop Shaq. And as good a defender as Thabo is, prime Kobe will eat him alive.

    Payton - Westbrook and Malone - Ibaka would be great matchups though.

    To me will always be Pippen, Jordan, Rodman. That 96-98 Bulls was the best team i've ever seen. Other superstars that make me wonder how good they would be if they were together in their prime is Clyde Drexler, Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon. Makes me wonder how competitive they would be if they were in their prime.

    You didn't even have the heart to put Matt Maloney's name down on there. "Other" is less damning haha.
