to stick to the ‘00s with that bottom row. I could be wrong.

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

monkeycowboy

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.

monkeycowboy

4/4/20 9:58am

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

monkeycowboy

4/4/20 9:59am

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

Charles Darwin

4/4/20 10:02am

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

Charles Darwin

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

Charles Darwin

4/4/20 2:42pm

Depends on which Shaq you get. Do you get prime Shaq or some sort of average

Scratch

4/4/20 9:43am

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

monkeycowboy

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

monkeycowboy

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

monkeycowboy

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

monkeycowboy

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

This ^^^^^^^^^

wjman11

4/4/20 1:00pm

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

CougarBreath

4/4/20 10:27am

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

CougarBreath

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 . . .
