Would an all-Lebron team be invincible? (And what about all-Durant, all-Leonard, etc.?)

    Lebron has like 50 lbs on MJ. I think 5 Lebrons take 5 MJs.

    Lebron or any 2 way Swiss army knife would do the trick.

    Bron has all the tools. Just not the mentality but 90% invincible.

    He is smarter than ppl give him credit for. But the 5 guys could not defend that well.

    Depends on the year. It'd be cool to expand the challenge to other sports too, see how they do at baseball and soccer.

    MJ can't defend people in the post or rebound against big men, an all MJ team wouldn't win a lot of games. KD, Kawhi, Iverson, Curry etc. are too small/thin and will just get dominated inside.

    I can only think of two guys who pull this off: Lebron and Magic. Both these guys are big and strong enough to battle with Cs in the post but they also have a nice perimeter game.

    If given a choice between 5 Hakeem or 5 mJs, it's better to get 5 hakeems because Hakeem will get all the rebs, block all the shots and dunk the ball every time. MJ will have to result on 3 pt shooting because no way can you go in with 5 hakeems in the paint, but at the same time Hakeem will get all the missed rebs anyway so Hakeem team will win.

    would an all-Tinman version of ClutchFans still have a Lin thread?

    I think a team of 5 Hakeems would actually humbly sit down and establish non-conflicting roles for each other. A couple Hakeems would learn to shoot behind the arc, which they could do with a little practice. Ball movement between Hakeems would be unreal. The team of Jordans would not even be able to penetrate inside the three-point line. Don't get wrong; I still consider Jordan to be the GOAT, but the team of Jordans would have to rely on their godlike talent to have a chance. I choose 5 Hakeems with an easy win.

    5 Magics. Until Lebron he was the only guy who could play all positions at a high level. I would love to see what happens when one of the Magics decides to only be a scorer. Easily high 20s per game.

    5 LeBron team wins a game with 86 foul calls to guarantee a win with the other team forfeiting due to not enough players left on court.

    Comparing Leonard to LeBron is a huge slap to LBJ's face

    Versatility is the name of Lebron's game. So 5 LBJ will probably beat most players of a single type I feel. But if you put 1 MJ with 4 LBJ.. it will beat 5 LBJ though.
    Same Goes with 4 LBJ with 1 Hakeem.

    Did someone call for a specialist. You put 1 LBJ, 1 MJ, 1 Magic, 1 Hakeem, 1 Shaq and it would beat a 5 LBJ team. Players with unique skill sets playing as a team I feel will still win.

    Our world today is a world of specialists.

    They need more help. At least a few more LeBron's off the bench.

    Not if 5 Lebron think and act as one.......if he cracks that he is invincible.

    The others would not have the chemistry to do it.
