1 - Allen Iverson
2/3 - Kobe and Jordan
4 - LeBron
5 - Shaq

I can personally come up with at least three lineups I think could take this one. Realistically this one is better

1- Magic
2- Oscar Robertson
3- Larry Bird
4- Bill Russell
5- Hakeem/Wilt

I'm a big Larry Bird fan.

He would get worked defensively.

Bill Russell would also get worked defensively.

In terms of basketball specialization, though, I always thought an actual matchups of teams would run contrary to what people expect. I would honestly put up this team against Shaq's team as well, as long as they bought in to role-playing:

1- John Stockton
2- Stephen Curry
3- Scottie Pippen
4- Dennis Rodman
5- Kareem

Not sure I'd want a PG like Iverson with that lineup. I'd put Magic at the point. Regardless, a lineup like that almost seems like a too many cooks in the kitchen situation. Shaq's lineup has 3 volume shooters, one facilitator/scorer, and himself.

I put Bill Russell in as a 4, not a 5. No way Russell gets worked over as a 4.

You put Russell at the 4, and you just have Dennis Rodman that's a better shot blocker.

A 6'10 dude that shoots 44% from the field in the 50s and 60s isn't going to be very effective on offense in the modern day and stretch-4s are going to draw him away from the basket and neutralize his biggest strengths.

I don’t like AI in that lineup. I think you can add any shooter Like Bird and let LBJ handle the point.

I would love to see that group play together. We could also sell PPV for the practices when they try to beat the hell out of each other.

Shaq’s Team wins nearly every time.

Though I disagree with Iverson. I would switch him for Durant and put Lebron at the point.

How would Magic, Robertson, Bird, Russell, and Wilt win?

They are less athletic, worse shooters, and possess mainly one ball handler

Ok. Hear me out..

I would take out Iverson and place Gary Payton in at PG. You have the other guys on the team that can score. Gary can get the assist and was damn good on Defense.
