    It be interesting to see how Lebron match up with Tmac, Wade with Parker and Ray Allen with Ginobili.

    Duncan will dominate Bosh and Lewis however, Diaw is not at their level.

    And then there is the bench of Battier, Miller, Anderson, Haslem.
    I have to go with Heat here.

    Heat obviously has better players.. But I'm going with te good guys. TMAC prime was sick.. 22 wins in a row
    13 for 30 in the last seconds
    Only 2 starting floppers

    Heat would be stacked
    Whole starting lineup dropped 20 a night for their respective teams
    Ray Allen in his prime and younger when he actually was able to drive
    Whole team flops especially Lebron, battier, wade, etc.
    Wade gets his Knees back and post steroids/pain killer shot abuse.
    Bosh gets back his dreads and looks like a Jamaican raptor

    Would be cool to see them both to get an all time player of choice in their prime.

    David Robinson vs Alonzo Mourning
    Tim Duncan vs Chris bosh
    McGrady vs Lebron
    Manu vs Allen
    Parker vs Wade

    TMac
    LeBron
    Duncan
    Wade

    Ginobili
    Allen

    Bosh
    Parker

    Lewis

    Miller
    Leonard ( his prime is in the future)

    Birdman

    Diaw
    Battier

    Green
    Haslem

    Howard
    Cole
    Chalmers
    Neal
    Splitter

    The spurs have the only big man and legit post scoring options in duncan and mcgrady. They have the best offensive player (mcgrady), better defense, rebounding and best post defender (duncan).

    Juwon Howard in his prime was pretty good also.

    t-mac better than Wade? are you kidding me? i would argue that tony parker might be better than T-mac. every single year of his primeT-macs PPG dropped by 10 in playoffs. meaning it's finals, his average would drop by 20, lol. He would be averaging 5-10 points, lol.

    I thought about this, but now I'm safe with the Heat. The Heat has more scorers, more players that can create shots and more 3 point bombs. Ray Allen is the difference, he is a much better player than the media gives him credit for. He was a lot better in his pre-Celtic days.

    Duncan
    Diaw (15/6/5)
    T-Mac
    Manu
    Parker

    VS

    Bosh
    Juwan (22/8!)
    LeBron
    Allen
    Wade

    It's close, but Juwan > Diaw; Duncan > Bosh; Lewis > Leonard.

    Ultimate it's all about Duncan > Bosh by quite a bit. I will go with the Spurs. But Juwan's 2nd year and huge contract was quite something.

    Spurs and not even close. Do u guys realice theres only 1 ball... U dont need so many scorers ansd the spura have the only real interior prescense. Andbosh is in his prime, he just got exposed playing with more talent around him. Also i would take prime manu over prime allen every day of the week and twice on sundays. Manu could score 20 ppg but also dish. Rebound and defend. And he is a freacking winner.

    I remember MerGady giving LerBon fits when the latter was in Cleveland. LerBon is a whole lot better now, but it would still be an exciting match up. Probably one of the best evar.

    So my answer is, Lin.

    Interesting question. I voted Miami due to having more star power (LeBron/Wade/Bosh/Allen/Lewis/Howard/Miller); but placing the stars aside, SA's remaining role players are much better than Miami's so it's a tough call.

    This series would be one for the ages and prime McGrady vs. LeBron would have been one hell of a matchup. As a would prime Manu vs. prime Wade/Allen.

    The real story is a prime Parker vs prime Chalmers.

    I remember that. I really wanted it to happen. Crazy how different the league would be if Duncan left the Spurs for the Magic to team with TMac.

    I'll go with Spurs because any team with Bosh at center makes me nervous.

    Spurs and it wouldn't be close. Tmac, Ginobli, and Parker in their primes are >>> than Wade and Allen.
    TD>>> any big they could throw at him
    Lebron would still be the only advantage they have.

    Lebron could just play pg. The other guys could just score.

    I think prime lebron was in Cleveland. He has lost a step or two. No one could stay in front of him. Now he relies on picks. He had a 37per for a whole playoffs not just a few games.
