Sam Perkins has gota be the SG on the C's team!!!
Lineups out of one position
I was talking to my friend about this- which players would you use to craft a starting five out of if they all had to be of one position? Which team would be the best? You're choosing players in their prime, obviously- the number of point guards who can play center and vice versa are rather limited :biggrin:
As you can tell, I need a bunch of help in filling some pretty glaring holes (Dantley at C for the SG position?), so help is appreciated.
Swingmen go into either category.

C: Tim Duncan

PG: Arvydas Sabonis
SG: Kareem Abdul Jabbar
SF: Wilt Chamberlain

I think the power fowards definitely take it, followed by the point guards and small forwards, respectively. I wouldn't want to trot out the centers or the shooting guards though.

I don't think there's anyone in the NBA short of Michael Sweetney that could take an elbow from a prime, limb swinging Malone. Boris Diaw? He'd get snapped in half.
Which ever team Mike D' is coaching will win

Shift Dirk into SG so Amare can go SF, quite flawed i must say

Where is Reggie Miller?
I'll assemble a team from active players. Reaching back into history for the all-time greats feels too easy.
How about...
Antoine Walker-PG
Dirk Nowitzki-SG
Kevin Garnett-SF
Amare Stoudemire-PF
Tim Duncan-C

Would beat that team.
Scoring isn't the issue - it would be about what team could D up. The PF team would have a real hard time keeping people in front of them, while the SF team would match up nicely. Lebron on Walker, McGrady on Dirk, Artest on Amare, Marion on KG, AK on Duncan.... they could guard that team.
Neither the All Time or this PF team (plus, I consider Kililenko a PF) could actually bring the ball up the court. Toine and KG are both pretty amazing in their ballhandling abilities, but they'd have a tough time getting it past half court against the speed of DWade/Kobe/Jordan and company.Mike luvs KG said:I think:

I'll take a SF team of Pippen/Lebron/Bird/Worthy/Baylor to beat any of these guys to upset the SGs in the Finals if this Rourney ever took place.
I'd hate to leave Amare out of any list, but remember, SFs are usually good man to man defenders. I'm not really sure Amare has proved himself on that level. Still, Dirk is an excellent choice for the three- small forwards need to be able to penetrate, post up, create, and take the outside shot. Amare is missing one of those.dwade3 said:dude, wheres lebron at C for the SF (Larry Johnson was a PF wasnt he??), why isnt shaq the PG, Elgin baylor instead of Adrian Dantly, Jason Kidd as the PG for the PG

Shaq isn't the PG for pretty obvious reasons. He has outstanding court vision, wonderful hands, a decent handle for a guy his size, but, as seasoned Portland fans can probably attest to, his mobility, passing, and penetration was nothing compared to Sabonis.
The problem with any of those small lineups (the 1, 2, and 3) is that you're not going to really put anyone in the 4 or 5 and be satisfied. When you look at postup guards from the modern era, you're looking at guys like Jerry Stackhouse- far from all time greats.
Lebron at the C for the SF is a good idea. I'm not quite sure as to how I missed that.
Finally, with regards to Kidd- I really don't know where I'd put this guy. He's a triple double guy, but you have players like Oscar and Magic that clearly trump him on that end. Then you have Stockton, who was a better passer and shooter than Kidd. Kidd pretty clearly is not as able as Penny to play the four. Who would you really want at the 2- Kidd or Iverson?
Reggie is the perfect SG- I don't think I'd bump a prime Kobe for him though.bbasok said:Where is Reggie Miller?

Yup Dirk needs to move to SF, KG to PG, and Antoine to SG/chucker.KOBEDUNKEDONSHAQ said:OMG u have Antoine Walker in the pg spot...other players may never see the ball.

Walker would be the best at bringing up the ball though, I don't see Dirk or KG bringing it up, man imagine the TO.
