if you had to put a team of 5 of the same guy together

[stretch]

5 Hakeem Olajuwons

this was actually my next choice.

[stretch]

It needs to be someone who can handle the ball, shoot from the outside and has a post game.

which is why I say 5 motivated Lamar Odom's (or if the "motivated" factor goes out the window", 5 Pippens)

[Venti Quattro]

5 JJ Bareas! Rick Carlisle would be the rightful coach of this team.

I just envision a 24 second violation on every offensive possession for that team. Aggressiveness or motivation or whatever you want to attribute it to... It's just not in him.

An aggressive and motivated Lamar Odom isn't Lamar Odom. It's probably a hall of famer. So I agree with you in the sense of how talented and skilled he is. But theorizing about a motivated or aggressive Lamar Odom is like talking about a racially tolerant Adolf Hitler. It goes against everything he is.

honestly, 5 Dirks isnt that bad of a team. he is versatile as , and as big of a mis-match nightmare as anyone. guards could torch him, but he could torch guards just as easily, if not worse. he can at least decently guard big-men, but there really isnt any big men that can guard him because he is too versatile. offensively, 5 Dirks might be the toughest team to defend.

i agree, which is why i said i would pick scottie pippen

although thinking harder, 5 hakeems, 5 dirks, or 5 round mounds of rebound would be pretty hard not to take

[baseline bum]

To answer the question honestly, 5 copies of a young Arvydas Sabonis

You'd have
- top notch post scoring
- great defense
- great rebounding
- good athleticism
- ridiculous passing
- great outside shooting

[pauls931]

5 LBJs

I thought the same thing

[stretch]

5 LBJs

i would normally say this is very impressive, but thinking about it, Lebron doesnt seem to be very good at playing off the ball unless hes running the fast break for an alley-oop. He doesn't really move well without the ball. He stands around too much.

[nkdlunch]

5 Manute Bols

[stretch]

5 nkdlunches

[boston.balla]

5 shaqs and i'd run and gun and fun the out of their fat asses

[ChrisRichards]

5 kevin garnetts would own all y'all es

[SamoanTD]

5 barkleys

[Sportstudi]

5 Manute Bols

You would deny any basket, but you wouldn't score either

[SamoanTD]

5 barkleys anyone? lol

[LnGrrrR]

5 Wilts? Sure, no passing, but if all five are Wilt does it matter?

[Goran Dragic]

Probably 5 Lebrons. Yeah maybe he has no post game, but he's big enough to guard pretty much anyone other than Shaq, quick enough to guard anyone besides Chris Paul, and has the offensive tools to be an allstar PG, SG, SF or PF. Obvious choice IMO.

5 LBJs

5 james standing around the top of the 3 point line for 22 seconds..its gonna get crowded.

are you kidding me?

5 LBJ would dominate

[ginobili's bald spot]

Wilt averaged 8.6 assists per game in '68 and he led the league.

[stretch]

5 barkleys anyone? lol

already said it

[stretch]

5 games standing around the top of the 3 point line for 22 seconds..its gonna get crowded.

i hate saying it, but i kinda agree. lebron is not very good without the ball in his hands. he needs to learn how to move around without the ball a little better.

[stretch]

are you kidding me?

5 LBJ would dominate

shut up
