Such a baller. Though I wasn't a Bulls or Jazz fan some of my favorite memories were watching the battles in the Finals between those two!
Uh... Spacegrass, nothing personal, but I think you have to turn in your UNC fan card. Curry over JORDAN? Jordan would DEVOUR him.
Again are we playing today's rules where you can't mug guys and 3 point shooting is a premium?
Yes, but still... Jordan would MURDER a guy to beat him. I just cannot imagine taking Curry over him.
Pippen has got to be the most overrated player of all time, definitely not top 10 lol
MJ was apparently the man cause he got mugged going to the hole in his day, so wouldn’t he get to the hole even easier today? The way old school fans talk they roll out the red carpet for guys on their way to the rack in 2018. Jordan could get layup after dunk after layup. No need for 3s. Funny how we use the same argument to prove different points.
Trying to stretch the floor. Hence why Curry , Durant , Dirk. The bench can physically pummel teams when need be. Those 10 essentially allow me to play anyway I would want and they would all play about 24 MPG.
Jordan early on when he wasn't the clear cut top dog got mugged. Jordan got plenty of calls once he established himself as the clear cut top guy in the league.
Yikes.
‘93 Bulls: Pippen with MJ 57-25
‘94 Bulls: No MJ 55-27
Pippen was a beast.
This is great considering both of your college rooting interests. Ha.Nah, I get what you mean. Just... I don't know, Curry over Jordan?
One on one no way in hell. But we aren't playing 1 v 1. I can also slide Curry to PG and Jordan to SG with Durant and Dirk and get a similar effect. I just really like the idea of running and gunning with Magic setting up those shooters.Nah, I get what you mean. Just... I don't know, Curry over Jordan?
Pippen only Bulls were like the Toronto Raptors of today. Look good in regular season but no shot of making NBA finals.
I know he was in a way different era, also know I'm a KU homer but Wilt was a freak athlete with unreal skill. Seems he is getting forgotten a bit in time. Thought he'd get more run on this thread, guess my crimson and blue glasses are thick lol
I’m rolling with Bill Russell and Michael Jordan as my first two picks.
I didn’t even have to finish reading the thread title to know those two were on my all time team.
This is not my Top 10 NBA players, it's the team I'd roll with in a 7 game playoff though
PG Gary Payton
SG Michael Jordan
SF Lebron James
PF Dirk Nowitzki
C Bill Russell
6th Shaq
7th Magic
8th Bird
9th Stockton
10th Wilt
Honorary College Player: Christian Laettner
Obviously I might get some crap for throwing the Glove in the starting lineup but I wanted to add someone on the team that doesn't get mentioned as much as the others. Went with Russell instead of Shaq in the starting lineup because by some Miracle they got by GP/Jordan I'd have a true glass cleaner sitting back there.

Exact same starting 5. I'm surprised it took as long for it to be mentioned. The first 3 are almost locks and it's a coin-flip between two guys a PF and C.
Bench: O, Kobe, Bird, Dirk, Wilt
Is it possible for a guy to be both overrated and underrated? He's a legit candidate for top 10 for defense, but people say, "MJ, tho..." And he was hardly ever the first option, but "Robin was no slouch, tho..."
Assuming an actual team (2 guards, 2 forwards and a center), I'll go with the following. And I'm one who only picks guys I've seen play for these teams....
G - Magic
G - MJ
F - Lebron
F - Davis - early but he is this good.
C - Hakeem
Top 3 no-brainers for me. Davis or Hakeem could be switched with Duncan, Malone, Bird, Shaq or Kareem without much argument from me.
If I wanted an actual team that would play together, I'd switch out Magic for Curry to spread the floor. Maybe Davis for Bird, as well.
edit - forgot all star team, so I guess just add Curry, Duncan, Malone, Bird, Durant, Malone and Kobe
