Beat me to it. Olajuwon($1) - Don't need to explain Garnett($1) - Great D and can spread the floor Bird($4) - This was hard pick, but a great teammate that can stretch the floor Jordan($5) - The GOAT Stockton($2) - Floor general that will get everyone involved
The scoring would come in bunches and defensively they would be no slouches either. PG: $5 Magic SG: $5 Jordan SF: $2 Durant PF: $1 Garnett C: $1 Olajuwon Total: $14 Damn it. Just realized I built the same lineup as basketballholic.
I knew what most of the responses would be. But think about this, the players must all fit. You can't have a bunch of guys that all need the ball in their hands to be productive. If you have Jordan and Olajuwon you must put players that are great shooters and that aren't ball dominant.
Magic - Ultimate playmaker Jordan - Ultimate winner and scorer Pippen - Best perimeter defender Duncan - Most fundamentally strong player Olajuwon - Insulted to be $1. Cue the '95 Dream. No one would score on that team. Pippen is the worst player on the team but I only need his defense. Prime Duncan and Olajuwon would dominate the paint. Jordan would do his thing and Magic would make everything run smoothly.
Olajuwon - 1 The Dream is self explanatory Jordan - 5 The Closer: With the game on the line Lebron - 5 The Freight train: Cant stop him at the rim and has vision with or without the ball Dirk - 2 The Ideal Stretch 4. PF arent used to trekking to the perimeter. Stockton - 1 Assist and Steals leader. The most overlooked PG, but this SOB was one tough SOB. with a dollar to spare ... Every player on my team can play on the offensive side of the ball, and minus Dirk, my defense is pretty pretty sick. There is plenty of space for players to operate, and there are enough scorers that can play off the ball.
Bleh, I just made my team and it was the same. Dang you, rocketsjumer! (You don't even mention Jordan's defense!)
Today's NBA my line up is PG- Rajon Rondo SG- Ray Allen SF- Paul George PF- Kevin Love C- Dwight Howard
Stockton $2 Jordan $5 Durant $2 Duncan $3 Shaq $2 $14 If I can ignore positions: LeBron $5 Jordan $5 Durant $2 Garnett $1 Shaq $2 $15 There's a thread in the Hangout too, by the way http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=254999
