What is your all time basketball dream team?

Question

Pick any 12 players and any coach. The best team gets best answer.

Answer 1

PG. Magic Johnson (Magic for him being able to play any position) - John Stockton (Stockton because he was the most pure point guard ever)

SG. Michael Jordan (do i need to say any more?) - Jerry West (Mr. Clutch)

SF. Larry Bird (awesome passer and clutch player) - Scottie Pippen (awesome defense and amazing supporting player)

PF. Karl Malone - Tim Duncan (for obvious reasons for both)

C. Wilt Chamberlain - Bill Russell - Kareem Abdul Jabar (see above)

Coach: Phil Jackson

Assistant: Red Auerbach

Answer 2

PG. Magic Johnson - John Stockton

SG. Michael Jordan - Allen Iverson

SF. Larry Bird - Scottie Pippen- LeBron James

PF.  Karl Malone - Charles Barkely

C. Wilt Chamberlain - Shaquille O'Neal - Tim Duncan (Has played C)

Coach: Red Auerebach

Magic won 5 championships

Stockton is alltime leader in assists and can score; made it to 2 Finals

Michael Jordan won 6 championships; GOAT

Allen Iverson 3rd highest ppg average and most 50 point games than any player made it to Finals

Larry Bird - Super clutch; can score won 5 championships

Scottie Pippen - Best defensive SF of alltime quintessential point forward won 6 championships

LeBron James - Hella strong; quick; can score, rebound, pass, went to Finals

Karl Malone - great defender scorer plays well w/ Stockton went to Finals

Charles Barkely - Most talented PF ever he was 6"8 and played exceptional at the PF position very rare. He was a great scorer and went to the Finals

Wilt Chamberlain - Put up 100 in 1 game and had more talent than Bill Russell but not a bigger will to win. Hopefully, with a team like this he would have. He won 3 finals

Shaquille O'Neal - Most dominant center ever. 4 rings

Tim Duncan - The greatest will to win from a PF; 4 rings

My team would have a total of 33 rings...42 if you count Red's 9. And my team has the perfect balance of offense, defense, clutchness, passing, etc.

Answer 3

Magic

Kobe

Pippen

Kareem

Russell

LOL, I wouldn't want Jordan to warm the bench, oh wait Pippen is on my list, so I guess Jordan can tag along!

Answer 4

Coach: Phil Jackson

assistant: Red (dont think he would wana be co-leader!!)

pg - Magic Johnson

sg - Michael Jordan

C - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

sf - Kobe Bryant

pf - Tim Duncan

bench

pg - Oscar Robertson & John Stockton

sg - Jerry West

C - Bill Russell

sf - Larry Bird

pf - Karl Malone & Charles Barkley

This team doesnt just have hall-of-famers but winners with a winning mentality. I got bill russell instead of wilt cos bill was a champions champion. he came with a gameplan and would execute it perfectly. wilt was a man that loved himself too much and yea he was a monster but that doesnt win you games so thats why i left him out. No way on gods green earth a coach would leave either jordan or kobe on the bench. so you have to find a way for both of em to play. Starting line-up got a 6-time champ, two 5-time champs, a 4-time champ and a 3-time champ(and counting) All together they got 15MVP awards.

As a team you got Magic doing what he does making plays sharing the rock. Jordan+Kobe doing what they do defensively and offensively. duncan and kareem will just dominate the paint and crash the boards. No team would have an answer to this right here..

Answer 5

Okay, here's my pick:

Starters:  C   - Wilt Chamberlain

               PF - Tim Duncan

               SF - Larry Bird

               SG - Michael Jordan

               PG - Magic Johnson

Bench:  C   - Bill Russell

            PF - Kevin McHale

            SF - Julius Erving

            SG - Jerry West

            PG - Oscar Robertson

            G/F-  Kobe Bryant

            G/F - John Havlicek

COACH:  Pat Riley

Asst.   :  Phil Jackson          

Answer 6

You asked this question twice before and I already got the best answer twice.  So I'll use the same answer:

PG - Oscar Robertson/Magic Johnson/John Stockton

SG - Michael Jordan

SF - Wilt Chamberlain/Larry Bird

PF - Bill Russell/Tim Duncan/Dennis Rodman

C - Shaquille O'Neal/Bill Walton/Bill Laimbeer

Note: (again)

Russell, Walton, and Rodman will be FCs, so they can play either forward or center.

Wilt will be a F, so he can play SF or PF.

Bird will be a GF, so he can play SG or SF.

Oscar will be a G, so he can play PG or SG.

Jordan will be a SG, and he'll stick to that.

Magic will be a GFC... he'll play all positions.

Stockton (aka "The Dirtiest Player in the Game") will be a PG and that's it.

Laimbeer will stick to the C, because he is a dirty defensive monster at the center.

Shaq is also only C, no explanation is needed!

100% greatest defense and 100% greatest offense.

I would pick Hakeem over Walton, but, when Walton was healthy, Walton kicked Kareem's butt.  Since we're not dealing with injuries, Walton is definitely the better pick, and I don't need Kareem or Hakeem with Shaq and Walton, hence, I'm picking Laimbeer to pick up the defensive role.
