    true but i think battier might have been a better shooter ... not sure tho .

    I also trust shane to keep his cool , but maybe we need an instigator to team up with paul lmao. Can you imagine how annoying a prime pair those two would make ? ( ron and cp3 )

    i know he quit on the team, but prime mcgrady made prime dirk his b**** in '05. don't think drexler has anywhere near that level of D in him.

    if we assume paul/harden/hakeem are 3 of the 5, based on pure talent i would think the next 2 are tmac and mo. building a real 5 man team, i'm not sure who the other 2 are. tmac and malone for old school style, pippen/tmac for new school small ball? i guess pippen also quit.

    somehow the bucks could put out a quadruple mvp lineup of big O, ray allen, dave cowens, giannis, and kareem.

    Arguably McGrady's absolute prime was from 2002-2004. Mostly with teh Magic.

    But within the rules to use Orlando Mac for Houston, Toronto, NY, SA, Detroit, Atlanta and Qingdao Eagles.

    Sixth: Ginobody Obi Wan

    ****, replace wilt with mullin. you'd have to hold your breath on every shot they let go. there can't possibly be a franchise with a better volume/accuracy/quick release set of 5 shooters.

    i know parker is a pg, but i'd put ginobili pretty comfortably ahead of parker as a player and he could easily handle pg duties. prime ginobili was as versatile a player as you'll ever find. i think in some article about scouting where guys were good or bad on the court or if they were better going left or right and such, they said ginobili was one guy where it didn't matter.

    also, going with primes, the spurs could have a defensive lineup with kawhi, rodman, duncan, and robinson. i was gonna call it a quadruple DPOY line-up but i guess duncan never got a DPOY?! so duncan is their weak link.

    No doubt. No doubt.
    Ginobili was pretty clutch but Parker was the one running the show a lot more minutes, underrated in getting to the basket, getting his shot off over 50%fgE, pretty good first step...... and passing to the big guy.

    I feel you do not need everyone fighting for touches.
    He also improved his shot during his career.



    DPOY is just a title, Duncan helped overall D, he wasn't fancy but got it done.

    I know I already posted Rox team , but i think DET could feild a contender too

    Ben wallace
    Rasheed wallace
    Lambier
    Rodman
    Thomas

    it would be 5 on 4 ... then 5 on 3 and so on

    The only thing that would make this challenge fair is if you take the players at their peak on that team. As is, giving Magic, Kareem, and Kobe peak LeBron is ridiculous.

    Anyway, the Bullets/Wizards are an interesting mess of a team.

    Earl Monroe
    Jordan
    Bernard King
    Hayes
    Moses

    Epic would be matchups

    Prime Hakeem in Raptors jersey vs Normal Hakeem in Houston

    Prime Shaq Orlando vs Prime LA Shaq vs Sun Shaq vs Boston Shaq vs Cavs Shaq vs Heat Shaq

    Prime Cavs LBJ vs Prime Heatle vs Prime Laker

    And so on. Prime Gemini Men.

    I am not sure but 40 year old VC is up there.

    Dominique Wilkins and Tracy McGrady all played for either Chinese or Euro team.

    Mcgrady played for 7 teams, Shaq for 6 teams.

    If not them, can't think of another.

    Are they superstars or just stars?
    (MVP title)
