What do you think is the all time best basketball roster. Here is mine (some are in different positions)

Question

Starters:

C-Wilt Chaimberlain

PF-Bill Russell

SF-Larry bird

SG-His Airness

PG-John Stockton

Second String:

C-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

PF-Karl Malone

SF-Scottie Pippen

SG-Oscar Robertson(I'm a kings fan)

PG-Magic Johnson

11 & 12:

Jerry West & Dr. J

I chose J. Stockton to star because he is actually a better PG in my opinon but magic is a better player (check the career assists totals)

and Shaq is just not better than the two all time scoring leaders (Malone & Kareem). He would be the 13th guy though, what do ya think? whats your lineup?

Answer 1

1) Where's Pistol Pete?

2) Wilt Chamberlin only put up the numbers he did because when he played nobody could guard him

With that in mind:

1st String:

C- Kareem

PF- Larry Legend

SF- (by the time his career's over) Lebron

SG- MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMICHAEL JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJORDAN

PG- Magic

2nd String:

C- Hakeem

PF- Bill Russell

SF- The Iceman

SG- Oscar

PG- Pistol Pete

Answer 2

Mine would be very similar to yours! I would take...

C-Wilt

F-Karl Malone

SF-Larry Bird (I don't find scottie pippen to be that great)

SG-MJ

PG- My man- John Stockton

I'm a jazz fan so that explains two of my pics! but John was the best true point guard! Wilt has amazing stats! Well MJ explains himself!  

Answer 3

Answer 7

Jorden H, that's a pretty good team.  I wouldn't necessarily agree with all of it (e.g. John Havlicek was a better player than Scottie Pippen), but it's pretty reasonable.

Due to the presence of Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Jordan and Oscar on your roster, It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to put together a team from the remaining players in NBA history that could beat these guys.

You're right about Stockton's assist totals vs. vs. Magic:

1) Stockton was a pure point guard from day one. Magic had to share PG duties with the very capable Norm Nixon for the first four years of his career... Nixon himself was good for 600-700 assists per year sharing PG duties with Magic.

2) Magic was injured a lot more.  Stockton was an ironman... he came up in the 84-85 season, the only games he missed were:

   4 games in 1990 and

   18 game in 1998

That's it... otherwise, Stockton played all 82 games in 16 seasons, and played all 50 during the strike season of 1999...Stockton retired after the 2003 season. Stockton also had a much longer career (1,504 games vs. 906 for Magic).

bflip33 - Wilt only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him?  

That's an idiotic statement.

Michael Jordan also only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him

Kareem only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him

Karl Malone only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him

Dominique Wilkins only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him

Oscar Robertson only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him

Larry Bird only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him

Dr. J only put up the numbers he did because no one could guard him

Get the idea?  It's an idiotic statement.     See that, now you just learned a little something about basketball.

Answer 8

I like it...Personally I would start Kareem at the center position, and have Wilt at the PF position so they'd have a big line up.

I would also put Magic at the starting PG. With his they would have the biggest line up ever.

I'd also put Kobe over Dr. J. I think Kobe is the better defender.

Answer 9

c - moses malone

pf - hakeem olajuwon

sf - larry bird

sg - john havlicek

pg - dennis johnson

Answer 10

WOW, you pretty much have the same list I would have. The only thing I might change is I'd switch Karl Malone and Bill Russell. I think Malone was a far more dominant Power forward overall than Russell.

I also agree that Stockton was a better true point guard, but that Magic was a better player.
