Just realized what you meant. Thought you meant athlete with the most talent.

Ainge. McHale, Bird, Parish, DJ. Then goes to Phoenix and plays with Sir Charles, KJ, Chambers THEN goes to Portland and plays with Drexler.

Anyone on the 75 Reds. Damn that was a team. AND anyone on the Dodgers at the same time.

If you are going to do that, go back and look at Ainge.

How is Jordan near or at the top this list by some is astounding.

I guess it's like most threads on MSB, Kobe knights come out in full force.

Jo Jo White played in more than 5 All Star games if I'm not mistaken, and he also played with Hondo.

Shaq: EASY

Prime Penny Hardaway
Prime Kobe
Prime Wade
Prime Nash
Prime Lebron
Prime Rondo
Alonzo Mourning
Gary Payton
Karl Malone
Paul Pierce
Kevin Garnett
Ray Allen
Amare Stoudemire
Dennis Rodman
Nick Van Exel
Grant Hill
Horace Grant
Nick Anderson
Scott Skiles
Shawn Marion
Eddie Jones
Glen Rice
Steve Smith
Christian Laettner

Looks like around 11 HOF'ers in that list (maybe 12 to 15 if Hill, Mourning, Stoudemire, or Hardaway somehow get in)

ETA: Shaq's teammates could beat the Dream Team

PG: Payton/Rondo/Nash
SG: Kobe/Wade/Allen/Penny
SF: Lebron/Malone/Pierce/Hill
PF: Garnett/Rodman/Stoudemire
C: Shaq/Mourning

Our list of talent is diminishing as the post go on, for instance, yea Ed McCaffery was a quality WR but to include him means you include everyone on the team that was above average
