Imagine if we had that line up now... Not sure if SF would fit in, but just talent wise, we'd be unstoppable at least on offense. Also, Ron Artest should have a mention
All 5 were teammates at one point too. We have tons of talent this past decade, it just didn't work out.
Actually they did play together. DM resigned Steve as a free agent but it failed badly as SF3 had already mailed in his career.
No its not. Cat was great but Battier was a more important contributor to better teams. I don't think you understand how valuable Shane was. Cat may have put up the big numbers but where would those mid-late 2000 Rocket teams be without Shane's leadership, defense and IQ? He was simply, the perfect role player.
