Can't think of many weaknesses...



Durant can't play defense against MJ/Bird/Magic/Lebron
They would attack him all day. Yeah he's long, but he's too weak to match their physicality.

Every shot my team takes will be behind the 3pt line. We won't lose.

Stockton was decent defender too if I recall.


I'd say the career steals leader would be pretty decent

He'll be alright. He'd be the "weak link" on defense, but the positives out-weight the negatives by a long shot. He's a much better defender than he used to be. He still has that reputation even though he's much improved on that end.

Whether we're talking fit together OR best at these positions all-time, this is the standard for the 2-3-4 lineup.

You can get creative with PG and C. Personally, I think Shaq and Magic would make this team damn near unbeatable.

The problem is lack of 3-point shooting.

LeBron would be the best 3-point shooter on that team. Magic, Jordan, Duncan, and Shaq are not particularly known for bombing away from behind the arc.

Man MJ calling for Isaiah Thomas to be left off the Dream Team worked better than even he could have imagined. People now actually think Stockton was a better player.

I would probably add in klove for peja and Reggie for korver, but this could be a fun team to watch. Who needs defense when you can rain 3s

Seeing a decent amount of Curry/Stockton over Magic in this thread. To me that is the only real head scratcher. (MJ, Magic, Bron are all automatic.)

The 5 is obviously the biggest toss-up. I like BR, but would have zero issues with Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq etc.

I think TD is the best traditional PF of all time. But if it's one game, win or go home, gimmie Chaz Barkley every day all day.
