Is this passé? A Best all time starting 5 PG: Steph SG: MJ SF: Bron Pf: KD C: KG I think Duncan would be too slow to guard many modern players.

Mechafunkzilla posted:The Nuggets game wasn't on tv but I guess Jokic had a quiet night with only 28/15/12 8-29 from the field, he got helped with a fair number of FTs. He did play well, the Nuggets as a whole did. It was a tough gritty game.

The Wolves didn't go out like chumps which is about as good as I could ask for after the way the season went. Gonna be an interesting offseason.

CoolRanch posted:PG: Steph When you make an all-time starting 5, you have to state your objectives and parameters. If you want 5 guys who can run a modern system with maximum efficiency as they are, you'd be better off replacing MJ with, I don't know, James Harden maybe and KG with Dirk. Floor spacing is everything in the modern game. If you're making allowances for older players to practice and learn the modern style, you can be a lot more creative. MJ would definitely learn to shoot threes better if he came up in the last 10 years. KG would replace his 20-footers with 3s for sure. Magic could be a LeBron-like scorer and playmaker. Who knows what Wilt would be capable of? Currently: If Devin Booker and KD continue playing like this, other teams are going to have serious problems.

if I'm building a team I'd swap out KD for Rodman because as super teams have proved the third guy always has his numbers go way down so I'd rather take a guy who was probably the best pure rebounder ever

If you ignore the first Nuggets game and the win over the Pelicans, I think every single game the Wolves played was within 10 or even 5 points. Definition of competitive play. Now to see if they can build on that.

THE LIST IS COOL AND GOOD. I Should have clarified, the target was to create the best “Modern Day” line up using players from any era with their skills as-is, at their peak. And as far as me using positions, how else do we describe lineups? Anyway - I think KG would be a better fit on defense (chasing guards, defending the perimeter) than most all time centers based on the way the game is played today. Obviously Lakers era Shaq would destroy on offense, But imagine him try to defend the 3.

I don't get how these arena things happen, the NBA schedules around arena schedules are teams just not submitting them to the league or scheduling events after the playoff schedule is out?? Happens to someone every other year.

Did Ayton guard Jokic well two years ago? Must not have been that bad since they swept. Nugs and Suns both have a lot of offensive fire power, but I'm not super confident in either of their defense. I think it'll be close.

Look we all know Tim Duncan would be rendered ineffective by a team that runs and shoots threes. That's why when he played the SSOL Suns in the playoffs in 2005 2007 and 2008 he won every series and only averaged 27 points / 14 rebounds / 3 blocks Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Apr 26, 2023 |

I love Kawhi - he really has it sorted. Show up and ball out enough to make it look like your team COULD potentially win and justify your paycheck, but then take the rest of the year off. All these other idiots playing hundreds of games each year and screwing up their career win percentages.

Spacebump posted:I can’t believe people are leaving Wilt off the team. It kinda comes down to if we're talking about actual theoretical teams running an offense or just listing the best players in each position. Wilt was obviously an incredible player but I think he actually makes a team with guys like Jordan/LeBron/Curry way worse offensively because his usage was so high. Also with Dirk you'd have 2 iso bigs who both like to get the ball on the left block so that wouldn't work Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Apr 26, 2023 |

with enough modern training and coaching you could easily teach wilt all kinds of things that didnt exist back when he played. like how to play basketball for instance
