    interesting.

    a team of jordan's could get the ball up the court and could score on anybody in isolation. would have a tough time posting but i think he would blow by anybody at any of the postions so easily that the D would constantly be broken down. on D, the perimeter would be shut down, but post D would be very troublesome and rebounding could be difficult no matter how high he jumps.

    hakeem's team. bringing the ball up the court would be tricky, but you could probably just lob it to the pg/sg/sf hakeem and have him catch it over everyone else. once you get down there, no one would ever stop hakeem in the post but you would worry about the team collapsing. of course, hakeem did learn to shoot out to 20 feet so this wouldn't be that troublesome. hakeem posting up a pg/sg/sf would be horrible. on D, hakeem might have trouble on the perimeter, but who is gonna drive on the two hakeem's standing in the lane? perimeter hakeem could play up close and make shooting over him extremely hard.

    bird, amazing versatility on offense, might be kinda rough on D though. bird wasn't exactly fleet of foot. it's harder to compensate by playing team defense when all of the rest of the guys on the team are you. still would be a very good team.

    magic might have trouble with the shooting and i'm not sure how well he played D. would be exciting as hell though.

    as for now, i'd go with kg or kobe and probably give the edge to kg with his height. he can cover anyone sufficiently on the perimeter and shut down the middle and he's got the handles to get it down the court and can shoot from the outside. kobe does some of those things better but would be hurt on the boards and on post D.

    all time i think hakeem, jordan, and kg would be the best teams.

    All time- Oscar Robertson, Olajawon, Magic...

    Current- KG by a landslide, but if Lebron James actually does get better and better year after year, he may be the one of the future.

    Nah .... more likely ...

    1) Each will blame the other 4 for hogging the ball.

    2) 1 would ISO and the other 4 stand and wave for the ball.

    3) Steve would not only dribble into a wall of defenders, he would run into himself.

    4) The ball needs to be inflated after every quarter.

    5) The only pass you'd see is the alley-oops ... 1 would throw it and the other 4 go after it ...

    6) Steves will play matador defense. The opponent will do lay-up drill and all 5 Steves would be turning their back and not realize they had scored.
