Answer 2

I like defense and offense teams and for an alltime team from atleast the saem decade so it would be possible

Pg: Payton
Sg: Jordan
Sf: Pippen
Pf: K Malone
C: Hakeem the Dream

I have multiple defensive player of the years with great perimeter defenders who get a lot of steals as well as the all time shotblock leader

Multiple MVP's and Champions everyone on the list has TONS of playoff experience and can get along

The Dream has great footwork in the post and is teamed with the muscular and the last enforcer the NBA had in Karl Malone. Jordan, Payton, and Pippen are all great defenders who would shut down the perimeter and get lots of steals while HAkeem and Karl held down the paint.

Answer 5

To me this is of course the Lakers. while Bynum became into a hundred% he became into truthfully a 10-10 according to recreation and a presence on protection. he's a huge guy with great arms, coupled with Gasol who has a great eye and is a great passer, those 2 are deadly and could supply offense no count what. With Gasol hitting the burden room final offseason he's likewise grow to be extra actual on the boards and on protection, he ruled Howard in the finals. With those twin towers in the paint, no basket will come hassle-free. Then there is Ariza who has better exceedingly. he's now a respectable risk from exterior, a tenacious defender, and a guy which will arise with maximum if no longer each and all of the lose balls. Oh, after which you have the perfect participant in the recreation in Kobe Bryant. no could desire to tricky there. ultimately Fisher, the veteran shelter, would not make errors, and springs up huge once you opt for him to. he's no longer as rapid as he was once yet he enhances this team completely along with his veteran management.

Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
Karl Malone
Bill Russel

Answer 7

G-Magic Johnson
G-Michael Jordan
F-Larry Bird
F-Karl Malone
C-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Answer 8

PG- Magic

SG- Jordan

SF- Bird

PF- KG

C- Shaq

I went with KG at the PF spot because he would better compliment Shaq by staying out of the post with his perimeter oriented game. KG's passing, shooting, and unselfishness will blend in much better with scoring machines like Jordan, Bird, and Shaq. Plus his defense is out of this world. I think Malone, Barkley, Hayes, Duncan, etc. would cause spacing issues with Shaq, the most dominant ever... I believe everyone else is pretty self explanatory... sorry to exclude O. Robertson, Kareem, Stockton and others...

Answer 9

C- Wilt the Stilt
PF- Elvin Hayes
SF- Dr. J
SG- Michael Jordan
PG- Magic Johnson

Answer 10

C- Wilt Chamberlain

PF- Karl Malone

PG - Magic Johnson

SG - Oscar Robertson
