    Great thread. My team would be very similar to yours with a couple tweaks:

    C. Hakeem Olajuwon (1993-94)
    Accomplishments: NBA champion, Finals MVP, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team,

    PF Tim Duncan (2002-03)
    Accomplishments: NBA champion, Finals MVP, MVP, All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team,

    SF Scottie Pippen (1993-94) (Blasphemy, I know)
    Accomplishments: All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team, All Star MVP, led the league in steals.

    SG Michael Jordan (1990-91)
    Accomplishments: NBA champion, Finals MVP, MVP, All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team, led the league in scoring.

    PG LeBron James (2011-12)
    Accomplishments: NBA champion, Finals MVP, MVP, All-NBA First Team, All Defensive 1st Team

    I have two good distributors to make up for Magic, PLENTY of scoring, maybe a bit less than ideal 3pt shooting, but ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IS SCORING ON US.

    Going without the obvious picks.
    C. Bill Walton 1976-1977
    Finals MVP, at his peak one of the finest all-around basketball ever seen from a center

    PF. Charles Barkley 1992-1993
    MVP year, just an all around beast

    SF. Kevin Durant 2012-2013
    Any other year this would have been a season for the ages. 50-40-90

    SG. Ray Allen 2005-2006
    The most three pointers made in a season, one of the peak years for the greatest three point shooters of all time

    PG. Oscar Robertson 1961-1962
    The triple double year, enough said
