not sure if already posted. fantastic lineup though. i really never see current / current-ish players have td in their five, even though that's where he belongs.
PG: magic
SG: michael
SF: bird
PF: timmy
C: shaq

A couple of years ago he had Hakeem at the C and Zeke at PG
But it’s ok to change your opinion, non issue tbh
or maybe he didn’t want to offend Shaq
Curry
Jordan
Lebron
Durant
Duncan
even Steven A. Smith has Tim Duncan in his all-time starting five...
For today's game, Da Admiral would be a MUCH better pick than Shaq at the 5, tbh.
For today's NBA, Dirk at 5.
So who else knew Tim Duncan was on that list before looking? Otherwise it wouldn't have been posted on the spurs forum.
You always have to take the best power forward of all time at the power forward position. It's a no-brainer. The other positions other than Michael Jordan are a toss-up.
I would take LeBron over Bird.
If they stayed healthy that be probably the greatest team ever assembled despite the fact you don't have any real body in the paint other than Tim Duncan.
But Curry is a shoot-first point guard as he should be. You can't have everyone on the team handling the ball at the same time. Someone on the team has to be willing to pass the ball and there's at least two people on the team who probably wouldn't.
does he? that surprises me.
i did say current / current-ish players list though.
probably everyone
the point i was making is that modern players usually don't mention td being top five. at least not the most popular modern players.
Can you imagine the defense if you went Timmy at the 4 and Hakeem at the 5? I think Lebron at the point, Kobe at the 2, MJ at the 3, then Timmy and Hakeem at the 4 and 5 would be an absolutely brutal lineup. Who the is gonna score on that group?
Meh. By today's standards, there's not enough shooting. Dejounte Murray is regarded as a non-shooter and he shoots threes more frequently than Bird, Jordan or Magic, tbh. You put that fivesome into today's league with today's rules and teams would just pack the paint on one end and then pick-and-roll Shaq to death, tbkh.
Disagree. Bird and MJ (especially Bird) could easily up their volume of threes with good percentages. You act like they couldn’t just shoot more threes to keep the spacing decent. Also, there are other advantages that this team would have over every opponent that you fail to mention such as rebounding. With that lineup they would lead the league in second chance points by a wide margin. They could put up as many threes as they want because their offensive rebounding advantage would be absurd.
pretty much what i was gonna say.
Why is the premise that we are talking about today's standards or rules?
everyone keeps mentioning today's NBA but what frontcout in today's NBA is stopping TD and shaq?
that's what, 9 championships and 6 finals mvps between the two.
Teams better be elite at shooting the three because they are not getting any buckets in the paint against Timmy and Shaq.
what if its orlando shaq?
lol Shaq wouldn’t keep up defensively in today’s NBA
Antiquated player
old heads and their logic
Very sad commentary on today's NBA.
Bruh, stop living in the past tbh
i'd rather have kareem at center, tbh.
Hakeem is the GOAT center and this is not debatable
