Rockets: c - hakeem olajuwon pf- otis thorpe sf- lewis lloyd sg- vernon maxwell pg -john lucas 6th - mario ellie About my team: I like the gritty players who defend well. I remember madmax was one of the only players I ever saw who was unafriad of michael jordan. He played Jordan better than I ever saw anyone and he got into to people's heads. I also remember lewis played majic pretty well and was just an awesome defender. Thorpe never seems to get the respect he deserves as being the perfect compliment to hakeem. Lucas was the best pure point we ever had and hakeem edges out moses, though it should be closer. Moses deserves that respect. Finally, ellie. What can you say about the guy who spawned so much and did the dirty work and was the inspiration for this website in the day.
I debated that one cause I know Rudy is a Rocket legend, but I never saw him play. I remember Glen Rice as the MVP of the all-star game in 97 I think, and when he dropped 56 in that playoff game.
My Rocket 12 man roster 5 Dream/ Sampson/ Moses 4 Moses/ Hayes/ OT 3 Rudy T/ Elie 2 Glide/ MadMax 1 Lucas/ Cassell/ Francis Injured list: Collier/ Langhi
Utah: C: Mark Eaton PF: Malone SF: Kirilenko SG: Horny PG: Stockton 6th Man: Adrian Dantley 7th Man: Darrell Griffith.
Iverson is definitely one of the 6 greatest 76rs of all time. Worthy blows Vern Mikkelsen out of the water too, that's not even close.
Very true, but if I was putting together a team that I wanted to win with (against other all-time teams) I'd want the steady and solid (and completely unselfish; though I don't think Iverson's selfish) Mo Cheeks at the point, with a sweet shooter like Greer at the 2. You already have slashing/dribble penetration with Doc. I almost put Ivy as my sixth man, but I can't leave off Chuck. No matter what he says, he's a Sixer. Maybe, but Mikkelsen was probably the first true Power Forward ever; I have to give him props for that. As for Worthy, I'm not as high on him as some others are; I've always seen him as a less selfish Glenn Robinson who got out on the break. A great complementary player, but I couldn't put him over Baylor, and I tried to go by PG, SG, SF, PF, C (despite the way I typed it).
Walt Bellamy (1970 thru 1974) did indeed play for the Hawks. Denver Nuggets PG-Fat Lever SG-David Thompson C-Dan Issel PF-George McGinnis SF-Alex English Bobby Jones, Calvin Natt, Mike Ray Richardson, Chris Jackson
Jack Sikma is easily the greatest center in Sonics history. What a great jump-shooting team that would be.
I'll do the New Orleans/Charlotte Hornets C- Alonzo Mourning F- Larry Johnson F- Glen Rice G- Bobby Phills G- Baron Davis Bench C- Jamaal Magloire F- Jamal Mashburn F- PJ Brown F- Anthony Mason G- David Wesley G- Mugsy Bogues (expansion draft guy) G- Kendall Gill Injured reserve (honorable mention) G-Dell Curry (expansion draft guy) G- Rex Chapman
For the Sixers I'd have: PG: Mo Cheeks SG: Allen Iverson SF: Dr. J PF: Charles Barkley C: Wilt Chamberlain And even though Francis hasn't played a game for the Magic yet, this team looks pretty good.... PG: Steve Francis SG: Penny Hardaway SF: Tracy McGrady PF: Ben Wallace (hey, he was a Magic for a while!) C: Shaq
Rockets: Dream, Moses, Hayes, Murphy, Francis; Drexler -->Lucas was as plagued as he was full of potential, and didn't last long. NYK: Ewing, Oakley, DeBusschere, Monroe, Frazier; Reed (flip Reed and Oakley if position isn't all-important) Blazers: Bill Walton, M Lucas, KiKi Vandeweghe, Drexler, Terry Porter; Jerome Kersey Lakers: Shaq, Baylor, Bryant, West, Magic; Kareem -->tough to leave out Worthy, but he tended to not show up until April. Celtics: Russell, McHale, Bird, Havlicek, Cousy; Parish Bulls: A Gilmore, J Sloan, Pippen, Jordan, N Van Lier; R Theus -->Would love to put Grant, Rodman, or Brand in here, but none of them stuck for long. Kukoc is another possibility.
