Bird had McHale, Parish, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge,,,,dude still couldn't do what LeBron is doing now.
Larry built the Celtics. James joined another Champions team
On pace. Ofcourse, his empty skull never attended college. Negative points for having low IQ
MVPs are much easier to come by in todays NBA. Who were his main compe ors? Mello, Rose, Blake, Curry?

Larry didn't build , he had a good team built around him, unlike the garbage that LeBron was given to work with in Cleveland
I seem to recall you being one of those dumbasses who ranks Kirby over LeBron.... so Kirby not attending college isn't held against him but for LeBron it is?Ofcourse, his empty skull never attended college. Negative points for having low IQ
Celtics lost 53 games before Bird joined. Following season won 61 without Parrish or McHale.Larry didn't build , he had a good team built around him, unlike the garbage that LeBron was given to work with in Cleveland

Kobe was cultured in Italy. James is ghetto trash, probably can't even read English.
Bird defeated Magic's Lakers, Dr.J's Sixers & Isiah's Pistons. James defeated Hibbert's Pacers.
Agreed
This was the starting lineup for A FINALS TEAM
Ira Newble
Larry Hughes
Drew Gooden
And people still want to deny the Kang's greatness....
No one is saying Bird isn't a bad ass,,,,he was. He had 56 triple/doubles in 13 years,,,,LeBron only has 36 in 11 years. But LeBron has climbed the All Time lists so much faster and on his way to 4 straight Finals appearances which the last team to do it was Bird's Celtics but they didn't 3 peat. Bird has 3 regular season MVP's,,,LeBron already has 4. This dude isn't close to being done. He could retire after this season and it would be an argument Bird vs. LeBron but dude is gonna play at least another 5-7 years barring injury.
PG: Isiah ($3)
SG: Jordan ($5)
SF: Bird ($4)
PF: KG ($1)
C: Shaq ($2)
- Tons of defense. Ultimate scoring with Shaq & Jordan. Shooting with Bird.
Better than the 2001 Sixers and still didn't win a single game.

We need to rerun this with Duncan at $5. Makes it a good bit more difficult.
i'll pay luxury tax
Stockton
Jordan
Larry
Tim
Hakeem
Elite defence, elite post scoring, elite jumpshooting.
Hakeem at a buck is ridiculous.
Notice how EVERYONE takes him there at center? Likewise Stockton at 2 bucks is pretty much a "gimme".
Likewise, putting in players like Oscar, Russell and Wilt is stupid. No ones going to pick players that played in the pre-merger NBA. It was a different game and nobody remembers watching them anyway. Even Kareem is a boring pick.
Heres how I would have made the game:
C
5 - Shaq
4 - Hakeem
3 - David Robinson
2 - Patrick Ewing
1 - Dwight Howard
PF
5 - Duncan
4 - Malone
3 - Barkley
2 - KG
1 - Dirk
SF
5 - Lebron
4 - Bird
3 - Durant
2 - Pippen
1 - Pierce
SG
5 - Jordan
4 - Kobe
3 - Dwayne Wade
2 - Allen Iverson
1 - Tracy McGrady
PG
5 - Magic
4 - Stockton
3 - Kidd
2 - Nash
1 - Payton

Stockton at 2 is not a gimme. Take away Karl Malone in those years he was with the Jazz and I guarantee you he'll be a crappy miserable player. Karl Malone made John Stockton who he is. Likewise, Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pipper to a certain extent made Michael Jordan who he is.
My first thought was Tim, Hakeem, Mike, Scottie, magic. But everyone has already said that.
What about. Stockton, Jordan, Lebron, KG, and Hakeem or Shaq.
Stockton over Isaiah(who is only a buck more) because of better passing/efficiency/defense. Jordan for obvious reasons. Lebron doesn't have to be the guy but is still a threat and play good defense. KG over dirk because with the many options for offense you can't afford to not have a good defender at this position. And anyone but Shaq or hakeem is a waste i think.
Obviously I would want Tim over KG and Magic over Stockton, but just wanted to make a list with Lebron due to his versatility and have no room left for tim when i want to keep Jordan but don't want Frazier because I don't know him really.
Btw, Was Jerry West considered a SG? I just saw him in a greatest PG list just after stockton.
Why the would you take Wade when You have room for Jordan?
HAHAHA SHouldn't a small ball Center be at least decent on defense?
Nobody plays small ball for defensive purposes. If so, that's very rarely.
I see what you did there with Kobe, Kareem and Magic all more expensive than Tim, and putting Tim after Karl and Charles, but no. Just hope your team gets a decent 7th overall pick.
Then I would definitely go Stockton, Jordan, Lebron, KG, Hakeem/SHaq.
oh no, taking malone away from Stockton... until you realize you are putting him on a team with MJ, Duncan, and Hakeem instead
... i'm sure he'll be fine
Don't be too dense pops, I didn't create the list myself. I'm never gonna rank Charles and Karl over Tim. Just pick with the $15 that you have
I guess I should've told you guys I'm evaluating the player based off of how good they are individually. It's just kind of hard to imagine the type of stats Stockton could put up without Malone.oh no, taking malone away from Stockton
we saw how effective stockton was when he had a great scorer/finisher, so i'm sure he'd do just as good if not better with the likes of MJ, Hakeem, Duncan. plus unlike Magic he provides some sort of spacing, and makes your own defensive assignments less tricky.
Stockton was no great 1 on 1 defender he gets torched by every other PG on this list even Kidd who would rather pass . .plus GP Enrique and Cp3. John was a great compe or tough and good team defender
