Answer 6

PG- Steve Nash
SG- Michael Jordan
SF- Kobe Bryant
PF- Tim Duncan
C- Shaq (the young one)

I take Nash over Johnson at starting point because of his ability to not only make everyone around him better and happy with the amount of looks they get, but he also has the ability to shoot wherever he is on the court, whether its a contested layup in the lane, contested one footed midrange shot or a three pointer, he has the ability to take over a game offensively. True, he isnt the best defender in the world, but he is a decent enough defender with the quality of defense that is brought on to the table by the other 4 starters

my bench

PG- Magic Johnson
SG- Lebron James
SF- Oscar Robertson
PF- Larry Bird
C- Hakeem

Based on talent, i think these five players are the next best five, all five are multi-talented, they can score, rebound, pass, etc.

extended bench
PG- John Stockton
PF- Karl Malone

how can you resist the best two man game in the history of the game?

Answer 7

PG- Magic Johnson

2nd Team

Oscar Robinson AVERAGED a triple double for a season,
Wilt averaged over 50ppg for a season, and led the league in assists the next year.
Marovich, averaged over 44ppg during college and was great in the NBA
Jerry West is the LOGO of the league "Mr. Clutch"
