    That's exactly how I looked at it too, and I went with Lebron because of his superior defense.

    Magic
    West
    Bird
    Dirk
    Hakeem

    I put a great PG and C axis that attract double teams and some of the best clutch/pure shooters in history around them.

    Magic
    Jordan
    Pippin
    Garnett
    Hakeem


    to meet this is one of the hardest teams to score on -- Magic is the weakest link defensively and he is a big PG. Granted the length of the others and Hakeem's ferocity inside cleaning up the glass and swatting shots - you would have a hard time scoring on this team. Given Hakeem's athleticism even if you had a stretch 5 he can still guard that player on the player and give help defense to recover.

    on offense you have potentially 4 players who could initiate and play the point.

    Magic can play in the post depending on the matchup, Jordan is going to kill pretty much anyone guarding him. Pippin (as much as I hate the guy he was damn good) is like the perfect glue guy who can do pretty much everything (although in this case if he was a better 3pt shooter it would have been perfect) KG can be a stretch 4 as well as go down on the block. and of course Hakeem.

    There are sexier names out there but I feel this is the most versatile lineup on both ends of the floor

    I fear there isn't enough long range shooting on that team for today's NBA.

    PG: Magic ($5)
    SG: Kobe ($4)
    SF: Pippen ($1)
    PF: Dirk ($2)
    C: Wilt ($3)

    This is an ideal team for today's NBA. Wilt controls the paint defensively and when he posts up, Dirk spaces out at the 4 and has to be respected there. Kobe is left one on one with whoever is guarding him which is another matchup hell. Pippen and Kobe combine to lock down the wings on the other end and Magic runs the break and facilitates.

    Stockton $2
    Jordan $5
    Durant $2
    Duncan $3
    Shaq $2
    $14

    I saved a dollar!

    If I can ignore positions:
    LeBron $5
    Jordan $5
    Durant $2
    Garnett $1
    Shaq $2
    $15

    Duncan, Dirk, Garnett, Durant, Wade, Shaq and Hakeem are best value on these lists.

    Oh man, that was my team. Repped.

    Collective IQ, spacing/shooting, toughness and clutch-ness off the charts.

    Olajuwon

    A lot of people are paying $5 for LeBron, and it's debatable whether or not he's the best SF on the list. I'm just surprised Hakeem is only $1. This team has great inside and perimeter defending, two seven footers, scorers, and a willing passer at PG.

    Same.

    Observations:
    • You can tell the age of the author of this game.
    • I can't believe how low they have Hakeem, value-wise, but I'll take it.
    • And I would take Drexler over any of the SGs other than MJ.
    • Why is Pippen even on this list?
    • Tim Duncan and Barkley are better than Malone.
