Lakers would absolutely annihilate the Bulls
Elephant in the room.....
Does Kobe pass the ball to exploit the obvious mismatch? Or chuck 35 times a game?
Lakers would absolutely annihilate the Bulls
Shaq and Kareem vs Rodman and Grant(or any other scrub center they got) would be a joke c'mon.
Kukoc. I would enjoy seeing Shaq chase him around the perimeter
Who we got there D Rob, Duncan, Iceman, Manu and Parker? That is a sick frontcourt there with Robinson, Tim and Iceman, the guards a bit weaker on the all time team but with those up front they would dominate with that frontline pretty much. There really is not other PG to put over Tony BTW, sure he is an all star quite a few times and had some great years but Lakers have Magic at the PG position so it's not even close. SG LA has Kobe and Bulls have Mike so it is not close there either although I love Manu and in his prime a fierce compe or who could take over a game with his playmaking ability and clutch shots.Shaq would absolutely obliterate him in the low post and then some...Rose career % is not that high either though when you think of it. Jordan and Pippen though damn, that is tough to beat. Magic obviously better than Rose on this one but the other two slots you guys got IMO. Front line though LA destroys that Bulls by far.
the talk of enrique appearing on any spurs roster all time is a slap in the face to every player who have put on a spurs jersey...
u select enrique, who u going to hide him on defensive purposes? u going up against flawless players here, not some scrub...heck even enrique has a poor record against no name players/scrubs...
so how is enrique going to score when u have a size mismatch? when he has a track record doing very poorly against bigger guys defending him. a clown with no playmaking skills, no jumpshot, plays no lick of defense to be selected on spurs all time roster? roflmao.....
What other Spurs PG is on the list then? Avery? No..... Johnny Moore? He didn't have a long enough prime IMO, good PG but all times? I had to put Tony on there like it or not man, that is their best PG they have had believe it or not. In his prime as well Tony was an excellent player, hate aside he was an all star. Who is your all Time Spurs PG? I know it's not Avery.
i shift turnoboli down to play pg....spurs dont have any good pg, but they do have an abundance of perimeter players
spurs only need to have a guy play pg, spread the floor, play defense and setup plays...enrique does none of that....
enrique imo was never really a ALLSTAR or mvp candidate type of player, dude benefited playing on the spurs coatriding to best team records when the ASG weekend came along spurs had to have a few players to represent the spurs for that weekend due to best team record, do you really think he deserve being there? dude had no business attending any activities that weekend...just to pr himself he participated in these compe ions during the allstar weekend...dude is nothing more than a bonafide scrub looking for attention...
They'd win by 75 if Kobe won't chuck shots and play within the offense, so I don't know why you guys are so salty.
So then you help off Bryant and let him clang threes all gameThey would foul out trying to guard the two best centers in NBA history. GTFO my thread with that bull .
So Shaq thinks he's better than Wilt Chamberlain?
Kobe enabled Daddy to think, to believe that way. Saved his ass in Portland as the century turned. Nobody saved Chamberlain. There was no Magic. No Kobe. Just a relentless press/Media that ate 'em alive, made mincemeat of him, shook down the thunder.
The only reason the Bulls will win is because Kobe wants to show up Jordan and keep chucking and chuck some more free that, then he will chuck more and then chuck a little more.
Rose shan't be on the team, he can't shoot and having him on the team will only take away possessions from Jordan. Give it to bob love instead. Gilmore at center to guard Kareem and grant at PF to check wilt.
...Right on schedule. This , before the dawn.
See's ya's on the other side of sunrise.
Why would you care?
It's not like these hypothetical games would be played in the playoffs, am I right Cubs?
Kukoc would get destroyed. Be like watching the 1992 Dream Team against everyone else.
either u shift pipper to play point
have kukoc playing sf, but that will destroy ur bench depth...
i think i take jimmy over rose for a spot also, u need defense or 2 way players....
didnt ron harper use to be a point forward also, u can slot him into pg role...
Dont know about that more dominant down low? Yes. But when you say things like this that's just crazy. Was shaq a more dominant presence inside on offense than Hakeem, Duncan or Kareem? Mos def. But All 3 were superior all-around players but ALSO dominant from more than 5 feet and in. Kareem's sky hook sometimes came from 15-18 feet out and was unstoppable. the dream shake about 8-12 feet. Duncan's bank shot was killer in his prime from 15-20 feet. Point is the game of basketball is more than paint dominance. When people say stuff like Shaq in 199-2001 was better than Kareem ever was that is some misinformed .
Dont forget a prime Kobe owns a prime Duncan..in fact its Kobe 4 Duncan 2...
If you remove the 1999 locked out season its Kobe 4 Duncan 1
If you remove achilles season it would then be Kobe 5 Duncan 1 there really are no pathways for you to elevate sexuality tbh
i think gilmore and rodman can hold their own against whatever player they are defending down low...there is always the double team or help defense if needed...
Kareem played one more season and yet averaged more points and rebounds per game. Shaq never was named 1st team all NBA defense and only made three teams total. Kareem made first 5 times and 1st team 11 times. And this was back when awards actually weren't media "narrative" creations. Kareem also has 6 season MVP's and 6 les shaq never averaged 30 even with his all out attempt to beat David Robinson that one year. Kareem once averaged 34.8. Kareem averaged 5.4 assist per game to Shaq's 3.4.
Playoff averages Shaq does have better rebounds ppg than Kareem in the playoffs which shows when motivated Shaq was a BEAST!!!
But also look at peak raw numbers:
In 1970 Kareem avg 35.2 in the playoffs. in 2000 Shaq 30.7
In 1972 Kareem 18.2 rebounds in 2001 shaq 15.4
In 1972 Kareem 5.1 Assists shaq in 1996 4.6
In 1977 Kareem 1.7 steals Shaq 1.0 in 2008
in 1979 Kareem 4.0 blocks Shaq 3.0 in 1994
I also did a quick check I believe Kareem leads shaq in VORP, DRating Orating, WS and WS/48 but I think shaq beats him in PER (regular season and playoffs) , plus playoff VORP but not in win shares.
Tough to argue by numbers or by eye test that shaq was greater. But looking at these numbers ...when Shaq was motivated 2000 and playoffs what a beast still wasnt better than Kareem but imagine if he was dedicated stayed in shape or hit FT's? He could have been greater than Jordan! Maybe, that is why he is overrated by some?

Wont defend Kobe. But with this type of foolish scenarios you are assuming the best of each player. one could argue that Pippen would because of a diminished role or have migraines or Rodman would get ejected or Rose would blow a knee that all defeats the purpose of the exercise. Assuming players got along etc. who would you take? If you cant do that then why bother posting in here?
The kobe would chuck, or Kareem would be frustrated with Shaq or Kobe or MJ would mentally destroy rose stuff is just casual fan crap no one cares about.

Rose's injuries would also exceed them.
9th in PER his "mvp" season
And got ass Kukoc can take threes the first five possessions because he'll foul out the first five times they give Shaq the ball to dunk over him unless he gives up uncontested points every time.
72-10 starting five+Kukoc+Kerr+Rose+Gasol+Noah+Butler can handle any Lakers roster
