    In 5 years, Ibaka still will not possess the bulk/strength to even slow down a prime Shaq.

    I see that the leading vote in the poll is Lakers superteam that flopped against the All-Around B+ team of the Pistons. Of course Payton and Malone were way past their primes but still, not sure I could ever vote this one.

    Let's just compare this team to the Rockets super squad:

    Starters:
    P.G. - Maloney vs. Payton = Lakers (BIG TIME!)
    S.G. - Drexler vs. Bryant = Tie
    S.F. - Elie vs. B. Russell = Rockets
    P.F. - Barkley vs. Malone = Tie
    ..C. - Olajuwon vs. O'neal = Rockets

    Bench

    P.G. - Price vs. Fisher = Lakers
    S.G. - E. Johnson vs. Rush = Rockets
    S.F. - Bullard vs. D. George = Rockets
    P.F. - Harrington vs. L. Walton = Tie
    ..C. - Willis vs. Grant = Rockets

    I give a slight edge to the Rockets but this is a battle royal! Rockets get annihilated at the PG position though which very well could give that Lakers squad the edge to win it all.

    This team would have been a dynasty IF health and cocaine didn't get in the way.

    drexler and Kobe a tie? We're talking the consensus 2nd best guard in NBA history with Kobe Bryant.

    Parish was on that Jordan Bulls team with Rodman. They were even walking around claiming they had 3 Hall of Famers because of Parish, which was technically true, but pretty misleading.

    But for this poll?

    Yeah they would destroy.

    Are you the guy that started that thread about what we should and shouldn't do with game/action/roster move threads and then posted it in a game discussion forum?

    If Olajuwon was on that team too, look out!

    But he wasn't.

    The only knock there is that unfortunately they never had a real test in the Finals. Or the playoffs for that matter.

    That Utah team was good for sure, but there is a reason why Jordan said he wished he could have played the Rockets in the finals.

    Sorry, didn't see it if there was one. Got the idea from some dude at Insidehoops who claimed the current Nyets were possibly the best team ever put together. (And not much news comin thru so I put it in garm).

    Yes I am. Do you have a problem with that?

    And if you really want to get involved with what I post please go to " Where Do the Rockets Go From Here – The Power Forward Position" and stop hanging around fantasy NBA what if ... posts.
