^Tim^ Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 hmmm... kinda tough to list tis...based on combined decades of great basketbal stars... lemme see... C -- Wilt Chamberlain (though i aint lucky to watch a whole game of him)PF -- Tim Duncan (pardon for bein' biased... :evil: but i dig him in mah list... he's a 7-foot power forward who can move like a small forward @ times... ) SF -- Larry Bird (great shooter for a white and 6-foot-9 guy)... OG -- Michael Jordan (a no-brainer, the best offguard of all time... even considered as the best ever to play basketball in the planet) PG -- Magic Johnson (6-foot-9 pointguard who makes assists like pickin' fruits in the backyard.... and he can score too...) Quite biased actually with old-school legends... really depends on the era on person who votes here... a young dude might vote a Lebron James, a Kobe, a Garnett, a Shaq and a Webber... really depends...

teio Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 well... here is my list... i will have magic johnson as my point guard... johnson further established the image of an agile big man (a concept that was introduced by the likes of oscar robertson and rick barry...), thus enabling him to play all five positions... just imagine the "showtime" that he will be directing with the other greats in this list...  next is michael jordan... just like what each and every one of you had said, jordan is a no-brainer choice... one of the best player-sports ambassador ever to walk (err... fly in jordan's stature...) on the planet... larry bird is one of the most competitive players in sports annals... despite being such a loser early in his career (remember, he led indiana state to the best record in the ncaa only to lose to an upstart michigan state of magic johnson... then he was upended by johnson in their first year because johnson won a championship with the los angeles lakers...), the eagle-eyed bird fought back to establish himself as one the greats... pure heart and determination spells bird's game...  since have bird in the line-up... i choose julius erving to be in this list... the "doctor" is the ultimate showman... streaking down the floor, cradling the ball in the air, and hammering it down the basket... he has the ability to take over the game while making his team mates look good... plus, he is also one of the nicest players ever... last... i would rather have bill russell at the center position... russell formally introduced the concept of defense and proved that a team can win championships not only by outscoring an opponent, but by stopping them to score...

bouncing_boy77 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 here's my starting 5: pg - earvin johnson - excellent court vision because of his height, as well as the orchestrator of the showtime days of the lakers sg - michael jordan - g.o.a.t sf - tim duncan - he's a center with the moves of a forward pf - kevin garnett - pure power down the low post with a good jumpshot center - wilt chaimberlain - 100 points per game, pure scorer Quote Link to comment
pransisb Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 PG- scottie pippen - he was the bulls play stter in their triangle offense. SG- MJ SF- KG PF- Tim Duncan C- Shaq this team might not be the best ever but it would be competitive against the other best first five. Quote Link to comment
