Shaq? If you get the dominant, in his prime Shaq, then I think you go with row 2. If you get some sort of average level or you’re getting them from any random season in their career and you don’t know which season it will be then I’m taking the top row.

POLL: Who you got?

Cougarrr

4/4/20 9:38am

Easiest question ever. Bottom row, 99/100

DKN

4/4/20 9:39am

Heart says top, head says bottom.

d-coug

4/4/20 9:40am

even tho it would be 4 v 5 because Kobe died (RIP) the top row is very oldoes now. Bottom row still in somewhat shape.

RE: POLL: Who you got?

Borg

4/4/20 9:41am

Dwayne Wade? Lol

messi

4/4/20 9:42am

Dwade, Kobe and Bron would destroy the top with 3s or pick and rolls with their bigger bigs

4/4/20 9:43am

I think every guy on the top would love taking on LeBron

Remigius

4/4/20 9:49am

Well RIP to Jordan etc. Look at the size difference. LeBron is a faster, more muscular Larry Bird.

4/4/20 9:58am

One thing I forgot to mention is the switches would give the top row fits

4/4/20 9:59am

I don’t recall Shaq being particularly good on the pick and roll

4/4/20 10:02am

Also I would be begging the bottom team to shoot 3s

4/4/20 10:06am

Yeah Magic & Jordan were prolific 3 point shooters . . . Neither team would

LakeshowCougs

4/4/20 2:03pm

The post I was referring talked about it being a strength of the bottom

The top row fares better on all-time ranking lists, but I think the bottom row

garyfan

4/4/20 9:45am

Alluding to what I said earlier. Larry is the only one on the top row I trust to shoot a 3. The game is faster and

4/4/20 9:46am

And who you got on the bottom row shooting threes?

bluelands

4/4/20 9:54am

Wade, Bron, then Kobe. They are all better 3pt shooters since that is a bigger part of the modern game

4/4/20 9:55am

Wade lol. Magic was a better three point shooter than Wade

bluelands

4/4/20 10:03am

By like half a percent. 3s are a bigger part of Wade's game

4/4/20 10:09am

From 3 Wade/Kobe/Lebron shoots 29/33/34 Magic/MJ/Bird 30/33/37

ayfan

4/4/20 10:05am

And imaging MJ, Magic and Bird growing up shooting threes.

SpiffCoug

4/4/20 10:09am

But they didn't. I mean I could say imagine LBJ playing against slow 80s players too

4/4/20 10:10am

With today's rules the bottom would be better.

mudpupper

4/4/20 9:49am

Wade was not a 3 pt shooter. Kobe and Lebron are just ok

PHXSUNS31

4/4/20 10:02am

Olajuwan in his prime is the only person who could guard kareem on his prime.

Sandy Lyle

4/4/20 2:38pm

Not saying he’d shut him down, but prime Shaq could have made it hard for Kareem

PHXSUNS31

4/4/20 3:38pm

If they’re going to pick a modern squad, they e got to pick some shooters

BYUCLA

4/4/20 9:49am

Curry might be a better fit, or some other true PG, but I think they were trying

garyfan

4/4/20 9:50am

Then give me Nash or CP3. Both better fits, even if Wade is better overall

PHXSUNS31

4/4/20 10:35am

I’d put KD on that squad instead of DWade

Remigius

4/4/20 9:52am

Bottom row has three Lakers, top only two. I'll take the top.

ColoSpgs

4/4/20 9:49am

Weird rosters. Just one true shooter on either team.

Josef K

4/4/20 10:00am

FWIW, Kareem has as many MVPs as LeBron and Shaq combined.

d-coug

4/4/20 10:00am

Why do both teams have 2 centers...the spacing would be terrible for both

PHXSUNS31

4/4/20 10:01am

Exactly. A time traveler from 1997 built these rosters

Josef K

4/4/20 10:08am

Top. Easily

texbird33

4/4/20 10:01am

Top row has better outside shooting.

SpiffCoug

4/4/20 10:03am

But Larry Bird would be guarded by LeBron.

garyfan

4/4/20 10:05am

Larry is 6'9'' he could get his shot off. Screens, off ball movement.

SpiffCoug

4/4/20 10:08am

Yeah but then Larry would have to guard LeBron . . . Which he can't do

LakeshowCougs

4/4/20 4:02pm

Neither team is built for defense.

ReyOso

4/4/20 4:17pm

Kobe & Jordan both were 9x 1st team All-defense . . . LeBron was 5x 1st team

LakeshowCougs

4/4/20 4:46pm

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying if you want defense you pick differently.

ReyOso

4/4/20 4:57pm

True, but with those teams you get both . . .

LakeshowCougs

4/4/20 5:01pm

If you can stop them from spending all their energy on offense.

ReyOso

4/4/20 5:07pm

Nobody is guarding anyone in this game

Remigius

4/4/20 5:34pm

I’ll take the Curry/PG/Kawhi/KD/Giannis team

PHXSUNS31

This ^^^^^^^^^

Curry, Kawhi, KD, Giannis, and Kristaps. More size than PG.

Linkcoug

4/4/20 1:07pm

Why KP over AD? I’m not too worried about size with KD/Giannis

PHXSUNS31

4/4/20 1:53pm

AD is best as a 5. Kristaps is a WAAAY better three point shooter than AD.

Linkcoug

4/5/20 1:54pm

Top and it’s not even close

Lifi

4/4/20 10:12am

If the question is which team would win if they played against each other in

4/4/20 10:27am

Although if it's the first scenario I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan is still

4/4/20 10:31am

Remember the time Olajuwon faced Shaq in the finals?

ReyOso

4/4/20 11:00am

Not sure you can just base it off man to man match ups

Josef K

4/4/20 11:12am

You're right. I'd find some other combination.

ReyOso

4/4/20 12:19pm

Please no speculation. This should be flagged

Druick

4/4/20 2:03pm

Of all the Lebrons, Lebron in Lakers jersey is the least dangerous.

andrewg3

4/4/20 2:41pm

Y’all are probably going to hate this, but swap Wade Curry and that team is

akmewg

4/4/20 3:47pm

Swap Wade with Curry & Duncan with KD . . .
