45/1/1 on 35 shots is a crazy line for mj. Bulls only scored 87.

Pretty sick steal on a double team by MJ on Malone.

Why is it always Kobe fans that hate LeBron. My brother in law is a huge laker/Kobe fan and thinks he is #2 and is really smug about it and just says “you’re wrong” and doesn’t have anything to say other than “LeBron left to chase rings”. Also denies that Lobe requested trades or forced himself to LAL in the first place.

The difference between Kobe and Curry is simple: when Curry goes 11-26 from the floor, 9 of them are 3s. (I'm not a curry fan).

1. Jordan

2-5 in no order...

Kobe, Garnett, Curry, Bird, shaq, Lebron. Lebron prob behind these guys.

Grunching

This might be the worst "top ten" list I have ever seen. Magic? Kareem? Wilt? Ever heard of them? And Curry??? gtfo

Does LeBeta even make the all-time top 5 everyone's magically in their prime playing against aliens for the fate of the world team?

I got:

PG - Magic
SG - Jordan
SF - Bird
PF - Duncan
C - Really can't decide between Wilt, Kareem, and Olajuwon.

Sorry LeChoke. Maybe you can come off the bench if the game's not close.

PG - Curry (even though I think Magic is clearly better, Curry in the best option. Imagine a Curry/peak Shaq pick and roll)
SG - Jordan
SF - Durant/Bird
PF - Lebron
C - Shaq (peak Shaq is better than all other options)

I think the requirement to play on the team was to have a name ending in "s".

Same team couldn't even qualify for the 2002 World Cup and finished 11th in 2010.

Can prob go Durant instead of Garnett but Garnett is my fav player and loves what he brings. Jordan, Kidd and LeBron are competent. Prob have Korver, Terry and other role players who can shoot and handle, along with the classic 3nD.

I didn't know that Kidd finished with more career rebounds than Zo. That's nuts.

I don't really know why people hate LeBron so much when the worst thing that he's ever done is hold a tone-deaf press conference announcing his free-agency decision, but I'm sure you all have great reasons for that beyond fighting for the ghost of MJ.

lol LePlorables

Jordan won an Olympic gold medal in the summer of 1984, before he ever stepped foot on an NBA court. And he did it with a bunch of college players. And he averaged >17 ppg, while LaBronze averaged 13.9 points per game in 2006 while playing with NBA players.

PG: Stephen Curry
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
---
Bench: Shaquille O'Neal
Bench: LeBron James
Bench: Larry Bird
Bench: Hakeem Olajuwon
Bench: Magic Johnson
Bench: Tim Duncan
Bench: James Harden

I dont think KG is a top 5 player ever just think he's such a sick fit with any all-time lineup because he can stretch offensively and is one of if not the best defender oat.

Well, if that's the case, pick someone like Thompson who plays both ends... and is better anyway.

I'd like to put Duncan, Shaq and Charles up front. Just for laughs.

Shocked that the LePlorables don't have Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Luc Longley, and BJ Armstrong on their all-time list
