If you were to start an NBA team - what player from history would you pick o build the team around?

Why?

As a side bar question - who would you pick fro the history of the NBA to take a potential game winning shot?

[PoorLurker]

Michael Jordan
If I started a team, I would want loyal customers. Whether or not someone eclipses his ability, people will still fight for GOAT because of his branding.

Game winning shot?
Michael Jordan
He has missed many, many, game losing shots. However, he still has it in it him to demand the ball in front of millions for that chance.

Steph Curry seems like money though.

Jackie Moon no question

Can we trade for a washing machine?

To build the team, I'd either have Jordan or Tim Duncan.....

For the last shot - I'd take Kobe though...or Curry.

Michael
Jeffrey
Fucking Jordan
+ Hakeem Duncan Magic Pippen
Or 4 guys he'd pick up from the local YMCA
Especially in today's no touchy rules , Jordan would average 50+

[Aatish]

Duncan, Jordan, or Bird.

Game winner: Dennis Rodman or Nate Robinson.

Would be very interesting to see how he would do without hand checking

I second Jackie Moon and add a hint of coffee black into the mix.

But yeah, MJ yo. No contest. 6 time champ. 6 time finals mvp. You want a guy who wins, mj don't even know what the word lose means.

[ijnoj09]

I'd pick Hakeem Olajuwon. He could dominate on both sides of the court and was underrated.

To take the game winning shot, I'd go with Kobe.

[BuzzE46]

game winning shot? kobe

all around to build team? LeBron james

starting 5

Lebron james at small forward
ducan at powerfoward:
hakeem at center or SHAQ
pg: isiah Thomas
shooting guard Allen Iverson or Kobe Byrant

[finaloption]

if only sticking to players during my lifetime, then it's MJ

game winning shot.. Robert Horry

BIG SHOT BOB!!!

[schoy]

My unstoppable team:

Jordan (SG) - GOAT
Kareem (C) - Great all-around center that won't clog the lane
Bird (SF)
Duncan (PF)
Curry (PG) - Cause you need the best 3-pt shooter ever. His range and efficiency alone would spread the defense.

Man, this team would just be fun to watch. Team basketball at its finest.

Edit: I could be persuaded to switch Curry out for Magic. Either one coming off the bench would be awesome.

[Game]

This would've made more sense if MJ wasn't an option.

[avantegardestyle]

Even though Duncan is my Favorite Player. Im starting with Kareem.

game winning shot........Robert Horry.

please don't place curry anywhere near the people on this list.
He is only good NOW becuase the rules allows him to be
In the era of handchecks and hard fouls he'd at best be a role player like Hodges or Dennis Johnson
Great shooter yes, but notuch else
Being guarded by say a Derek Harper or dumars with their tough physical play , curry night avg 16 a game at best
How ever , place say Jordan in today's league he'd av over 50
Put bird on today's league with his health and he'd probably avg a triple doulbe. I mean the man was playing chess while everyone was playing checkers

[Krockit1]

1- Magic
2-MJ
3- Bird
4- LBJ
5- Bill Russell

There's 74-8 for you.

MJ for the last shot. Saw him dagger way too many opponents to not give him the ball when everything is on the line.

Right fucking ON, brother. Do love watching Steph, tho. He kinda brought me back as a fan...

[Krockit1]

Ok, one player to start? Tough one... MJ or Magic...
