I see what have the same taste except for Nick Van Exel. I also like Steve Nash and obviously Jeremy Lin.

I can't believe I forgot Bernard King! King would have to go where Grant is on my list.
No love for Van Exel? I used to try to copy alot of what he and Rod Strickland did on the court
1st Team:
PG Lebron
SG Jordan
SF Bird
PF Duncan
C Russell
2nd Team:
PG Magic
SG Kobe
SF Dr. J
PF Barkley
C Olajuwon
Hard to leave Kareem out or Shaq, but I like my teams for cohesiveness with each other and covering all areas.
All Time Favorite:
Earl the pearl
Clyde
Dr. J
Willis
Ewing.
Willis first 3 years was PF. He was Mcdyess like in his hops.
This is my favorite team I would want to watch.
All time greats by position........
PG: oscar
SG: Jordan
SF: Lebron
PF: Timmy
C: Jabbar
Chemistry all time for todays game.........
PG: Lebron, Archibald, Magic
SG: West, Jordan, Rick Barry
SF: Bird, Dr J, Elgin Baylor
PF: Bill Russell,Timmy, Wes Unseld
C: Sabonis (in prime), Jabbar, Hakeem
I pick Sabonis because he could shoot long range and was a great passer and length on defense. Russ is also my rim protecter, rebounder, and I think could handle the pick and roll!
Bird and west are my snipers. They are much better shooters Jordan. Lebron is my glue guy.
I picked Bird and west over Jordan because I wanted shooting.
Shame on everyone for forgetting about Bernard King!

I had king on my all time favorite, but then remembered DR. J played for the NY Nets and saw about 10 games a year live, and plenty on TV!!!
It in 1974-5-6 it was easy to root for both NY teams, especially DR. J!!

Must have been a great time for basketball. I wasnt born yet. I have a Co worker that's so a nets fan from those days. And he's still passionate about those days

Oh Man! I forgot about Dr. J. He knocks off Sprewell on my favorite list.
I like Bernard King but I love Bird. Weird considering I hated the Celtics.
FYI. If Melo gets us a championship then he would bump off Bird for me in my favorite list.

I was a kid, but it was like the Garden was the Bergdorf Goodmans, and the Nassau Coliseaum was Costco. But, Dr. J was on another plane doing something not seen before. That Ned Irish took Roy Boe's money instead of Dr. J for the knicks was criminal!!!
All-time team is easy outside of center:
PG: LeBron James
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Tim Duncan
At center I'd take one of Hakeem, Kareem, or Wilt Chamberlain
pg: Magic/Isiah
sg: Jordan/Kobe
sf: Lebron/Bird
pf: Duncan/Barkley
C: Wilt/Hakeem
