Stockton $2
Jordan $5
James $5
Duncan $3
Olajuwan $1


I really wanted Shaq, but I think this is easily the best team.

The more that I think about match-ups and spacing, I like Nowitski at the 4 because he can stretch the defense with his shooting, but then you have to sacrifice Shaq.

I think the no brainers are Stockton for a incredible value, Jordan and James becuase they are 1a and 1b.

But you have to sacrifice Shaq for Hakeem which isn't a MAJOR issue.

That would be a fun team to watch.

I'm not going back through the whole thing but has anyone chosen:

Malone or any Center more expensive than Shaq?

I don't think a single poster has taken Kareem for the $5.

PG - Magic
SG - Wade
SF - Lebron
PF - Duncan
C - Hakeem

I get the best PG, SF and PF of all time, all of which have great offensive games but are incredibly unselfish.

Prime Wade was a 28/7/5 kind of guy with great defensive instincts (steals, shot blocking). There's not a huge difference between him and the other SGs outside of MJ.

I really wanted to snag Shaq as the most dominant player and considered flipping Lebron for Bird, but Hakeem at $1 is ridiculous value.

I think Malone is in the most unfair position here.

25/12 for a career, but no way am I taking him over Duncan who is way cheaper

And the top 5 Cs are so close you can't go wrong with any of them, so why spend

I think the consensus is that Jordan and James are must haves.

Most people seem to agree that Stockton is the best value at $2 to let you get either Dirk/Hakeem or Shaq/Garnett.

For a guy who many consider to be 4th best pg after magic, Zeke, and Big O. It looks like Stockton is the MVP of this thread. Everybody wants him on their team.


its because everybody is spending their money on the SG and SF position and taking stockton by default.

Stockton is a PG.

ETA: Edit to also add that I STARTED with Stockton because he has such insane value.

You can also start with Shaq because he has very similar value.

that jordan/james/garnett/hakeem lineup is possibly the 4 best defenders at those respective positions in NBA history

then rolling out stockton is only the steals leader...by a long margin

the only real issue with that team is only 1 elite 3 point shooter, but lebron is decent and lebron/garnett/hakeem are amazing passers (and again, stockton)

Meh, give me Pippen over Lebron.

I disagree. There is no way I'm taking LBJ in this scenario, when I can have potentially the best perimeter defender all time for $1

As I posted in the other thread about to be deleted I changed my mind on this:

Big O
Jordan
Shaq
Timmy
Pippen

That gives me the flexibility to play any of 1-3 on any other teams 2-3 in case fouls count in this hypothetical
