^^^ Outside of the box- I like it. Especially having Lord of the Rings in your starting five. He never gets enough credit.

I also see no Kobe or Lebron. Points for creativity - we won't see a lot of that on here.

I don't have Kobe or Bron on my team not because of basketball reasons but because I don't want those 2 self centered egotistical chumps coming off my bench and causing locker room issues, thinking about it I'll have to boot Isaiah off the squad because of Jordan so let change my backup point to Stockton

We got a lot of new blood in here. This roster is long and athletic as hell. Cats would have a tough time getting buckets against them

And points for rocking with the baby-faced assassin. Yall got to remember this is the All time team. Imagine If Curry keeps getting better and his confidence keeps growing. I can't imagine a more lethal guard on the court

LMAO....knew u was a fan!!!

So why argue with me all day when u yourself know the deal?

Weirdo.

Lol. Nigga, i was arguing your premise - which is ridiculous.

I never said I wasn't a fan of Steph Curry. I try to be objective. And objectively, he is a spectacular phenom and easily one of the best players in the league.

It is absurd to say he is among the greatest of all time today, but if he keeps his current trajectory and adds more hardware to boot- it is impossible to deny him that elite position.

I would like to think that over the rest of his career he lays down a HOF resume and grows even more as a player and competitor. At that point, I could see him sharing the floor with legends in a tournament such as this... Not before.

But this thread is all about projecting the greatest of all time and teaming them up against each other. It is entirely plausible he makes a roster in this thread.

Starting 5

C - Kareem Abdul-Jabaar

Spoiler

The best playmaker of All time at point. And he is at his best when he has athleticism on the wings and shooters to space the floor.

Mike is, well Mike... nuff said.

LBJ in his prime is a matchup nightmare for most at the 3. His overall skill set and athleticism will give teams fits in transition. Imagine a fast break with MJ and LBJ filling the wings and Magic screaming down center court. #HighlightReel

Stretch 4, huh... How about Larry Legend? One of the best shooters of all time and a basketball IQ through the roof.

And add Mr. Sky Hook in the middle, one of the most consistent post players of all time. This starting lineup allows for a lot of diversity in offensive styles.

Bench



PG - Steph Curry

SG - Kobe Bryant

SF - Oscar Robertson

PF - Hakeem Olajuwan

C - Shaquille O'Neal

Spoiler

Give me the future, more matured Steph Curry as my backup point. A little stronger, a lot tougher, and battle tested. Meanwhile, this HOF version is an even better shooter, better playmaker and much stronger on defense- significantly boosting his steals totals to supplement his average individual defense. This incarnation of Steph is one of the most lethal scorers in the history of basketball.

It is hard to believe, but the greatness of prime Kobe often gets slept on. 80 pt game, several 40+ half's, 10 game streak of 50+. Trust and believe this flame thrower is coming for your throat off the bench.

The Big O is the swiss army knife of NBA players. You couldn't ask for a more solid SF

I am dropping The Dream down to the 4. Straight annihalatiion in the post or take em out to the elbow depending on the matchup.

Tell me who in your bench is stopping the big Aristotle with a head full of steam in the post... Good luck with that

Each of the 10 above have been a Finals MVP (I'm assuming Steph will get one) - Save for The Big O. And he is just the most well rounded player in NBA history.

Additional Bench

(My thread, my rules. You can add up to three additional players on your bench. Feel free to edit your posts)

Very eclectic mix across several generations of players. I see a lot of explosion and athleticism in that line up.
