Solid. I'd take McHale, Walton, Russell or Olajuwon over Garnett and Stockton over Earvin though. Also, I'd take Kawhi over Lebron if we're not doing a rigged rules game.

I watched him play all the time. He was like the third best player on his team, too.

[D.B. Cooper]

I watched him play all the time. He was like the third best player on his team, too. Worthy, Kareem... then Magic?

[lefty]

Even Kupchack was better than Magic tbh

[Spurtacular]

Worthy, Kareem... then Magic?

Circa 83-86, yea.

[ambchang]

Is Stockton even the second best PG of all time? He’s obviously great by carrying that pedo and giving up the credit, like the small version of MVPau without the rings to back him up, but his assist totals were inflated by liberal stat keeping and the style of play run by Sloan. He was the driver behind one of the most i stoppable plays in the history of the league but that never led to any rings. His defense was great but a lot has to do with how dirty he was and the stuff he could get away with, not to mention he has always struggled against quick pgs.

However, if he isn’t the second best then who is?

Isiah? Cousy? Fraizer? Curry?

The position is pretty slim pickings, arguably worse than the SG spot.

[lebomb]

LMAO!!!! The point guard is THE quarterback and v8 pro-charged engine of a team, as he goes typically the team goes. Also, you must have had your eyes closed when Magic played. If you think he was 3rd best, may god rest your soul homie.

Magic wasn't even rated highest on his college team. You're proof that marketing hype works.

You'll need 3pt shooters. Better not forget that while you're stacking up on long 2pt shooters or post players.

Yup

Kareem was their go to guy.

Worthy is so underrated because he was a quieter guy. Played his heart out on both ends of the floor.
And Rodman said he was the toughest player he guarded

Leading scorer on this team? These days I'd say KD with MJ running a close 2nd (if he ever passed the ball). You couldn't guard the 3 at all, not with Tim and Hakeem in the paint.

I would imagine the leading scorer would be KD. The Spurs defended the 3 quite enough with Duncan/Robinson, Duncan/Oberto, etc. Duncan and Hakeem are both good athletes for their positions.

[Avante]

How many starting fives of black players could I come up that could beat the best all time white starting five?

Some combinations.....

Curry
Wilt
Russell
Kobe
Malone
Durant
Duncan
Magic
Dr.J
LeBron
Jordan
Shaq
Robinson
The Big 0
Baylor
Frazier

All those I'm forgetting

Hmmmm?

1 maybe 2

Try at least 4.

Would you believe we could run at least 40 all black 4x1 teams that would smoke the fastest ever All White 4x1 team?

[FrostKing]

Would you believe we could run at least 100,000 hockey teams, 10,000 soccer teams and 1000 baseball teams that would smoke the best black teams

Bait my ass. Me and my white friends used to beat black teams on the courts all the time.

Why even go there guy? Blacks are on a whole other level when it comes to basketball, and we all see it.'Trust me I know all about Bob Cousey, Mikan, Pistol Pete, West, Berry, Bird, Stockton, etc.

Actually the Celtics beat the Bulls. The Cs were stacked while the Bulls had Mike and garbage. Once Mike got Scottie and Phil, the Bulls were elite......btw, I hate Jordan, the Cs, the Lakers, etc. Lifelong Spurs fan here, but also a huge fan of the Isiah Thomas era Pistons.

So what. 14x losses in a row cos Jordan couldn't bring enough in even one game, son. Yea, Jordan did better when his teams were more stacked. No duh.

My caveat ?I want the young version vs. Peak of all these guys.
Young MJ and Lebron on the wings is incredible and the young skinny versions of Kareem and Duncan can both kill you on the block and high and mid-post.
Lebron and MJ when locked in can defend anyone. Young magic once led the NBA in steals, Duncan is an amazing paint anchor and Kareem a great shot blocker (led the league 4 times and wasn't counted as an official stat his first few years)
Plus you get the MJ fade, Kareem skyhook, and the Duncan bank shot ...

Sure this team lacks 3 pt shooting but it maybe one of the highest BBall IQ team ever assembled and Magic/Lebron are GOD Level passers.
Ill take my 5 at their physical peaks they coulkd hang in modern nba by making sure they get great shots ...

Agreed. My only caveat is that Magic and Lebron might be redundant, and you could actually play Lebron at PG over Magic, which would allow you to play a scorer at SF.
