    That addition of Shaq in his prime might be a game changer, but otherwise nobody is shaking in their shoes over "prime Delonte West" or "prime Troy Murphy." :grin: Even prime Jermaine O'Neal was pretty crappy to those who remember him in Indiana as an uninteresting stat-padder in one of the historically weakest Eastern Conferences of all time.

    This, all be it a bit hyperbolic, the '90s guys- especially Dream and Jordan- would wreak havoc if they played with today's rules and against today's players.

    I love my Celtics, especially from 2008-2010, but I would have to say...

    we would get dominated...

    Barkley/Drexler/Hakeem vs Ewing/Malone/Wilkins would be a good 3 on 3 streetball game...

    2004 Lakers all in their prime would be pretty awesome. Well, at least 4 of them would be amazing - Kobe, Shaq, Malone, Payton.

    The Rockets team ll in their prime would definitely beat the Celtics all in their prime.

    It's a silly though somewhat fun game. Which team, if all players on that teams roster were in their prime, would be the best?

    Heck, some of the Spurs squads would be bad-ass, cause you had a period with DRob, Duncan, Parker and Ginobili playing together. Those 4 in their prime would be a pretty tough matchup for anyone.
