Always liked Stockton and Malone at the Jazz. But for Jordan and THAT Bulls team, they would have had a few rings!

[voodoo]

@nzzp Nobody "liked" Malone did they??? Respect sure, but he was the most boring player that ever lived! That "hand on my ear" dunk, the same 12ft baseline jumper, shoot me now!!!

effective baby,

FFS if you live in Utah, that counts as flamboyant Plus, I was new to the NBA at the time, so a mate and I fell into the Jazz

[voodoo]

@nzzp 🤣. It was effective, I'll give you that.

[Bovidae]

I'll cheat a little.

C Hakeem Olajuwon
PF David Robinson
SF James Worthy
SG Reggie Miller
PG Magic

Otherwise my PF would be Barkley

[Victor Meldrew]

Wilt Chamberlain. Great centre who got me into playing after a I saw a couple of films about him

Also responsible for the immortal reply of of "I clean giraffe ears" when a thick reporter, not noticing he was wearing a Lakers shirt, asked him what he did for a living,

[mariner4life]

nice shark!

C David Robinson
PF Tim Duncan
SF Michael Jordan
SG Reggie Miller
PG Allen Iverson

I've cheated a little to move MJ to the SF spot.

I don't know if my team would succeed in the modern NBA, but it's players i like rather than a team that is built to win

There would be a lot of chat

I'm intrigued by all the love for David Robinson! He wouldn't make my top 10 fav centres!

Hmmm. And your Second Team might be Porzingis, Jokic, Hayward, Majerle and Doncic....?

The Admiral! Championships, a scoring title, a quadruple double and a legend during an era that had plenty of great centres, come ON!

[Dice]

PG - Penny Hardaway
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - Tracy McGrady
PF - Shawn Kemp
C - David Robinson

Nah. You could choose some old-timers like Cousy, Havlicek or Barry. Thunder Dan? His team mate Tom Chambers was better.

Chris Mullin would be in there, maybe Mark Price or Steve Nash at PG.

@Bovidae I hope your first team was coincodental, and now you're taking the piss.

[Bovidae]

@shark It was an all-white team without the recency bias.
