If Shaq isn't there on the floor, IMO the C/L team loses it's only advantage - sheer size. You think Russell would have shut down any of the great big men of the 80s or 90s? Hakeem/Duncan vs Kareem/Russell would be a mismatch, because the 2 best shot blockers and the 2 best low-post exponents would then be on the NBA team. Kareem's sky hook would still be money, while Russell would be the odd man out on offense.
another guy who I think may be deserving to be on the team that hasnt been mentioned (from what I saw) was Rodman. fantastic defender, perhaps the greatest rebounder ever, great athlete, extremely underrated passer... the epitome of a glue guy on the court.
Shaq shouldn't be on the Lakers side
since he played most of his career outside of LA, and has reached the Finals with both the Magic and the Heat, and won a ring with the Heat.
Wilt also shouldn't be a Laker.... He would belong to Philly, not LA.
Lakers are more of a "rent a star".... Magic is their real only big time home grown star, or I guess Jerry West is too

Lakers/Celtics
PG - Magic, West
SG - Kobe, Pierce
SF - Bird, Elgin Baylor
PF - Gasol, Garnett
C - Kareem, Russell
Team NBA:
PG - Payton, Stockton
SG - Jordan, Robertson
SF - Lebron, Dr. J
PF - Duncan, Karl Malone
C - Hakeem, Robinson
Team NBA would knock the taste out of their moufs!
PG's = Team NBA is better, with the best defensive backcourt ever, and both Payton and Stockton could score the ball as well.
SG - no ing contest. Team NBA.
SF - this one is real close, but I'd give the edge to Bird/Baylor.
PF - Duncan / Malone would beat some ass.
C - too close to call.
I would say team NBA whoops that ass 109-101.
NBA would roflstomp, cmon guys
Thats like the All infidelity Team... with a side of Weed.
Anybody have the video of the discussion on first take?
