Constructing My All-Time NBA Line Up - My Article

But that is why I love having both. Neither player had a score first mentality.

MJ (and Kobe) would LOOOOOOVE playing with Magic and Lebron. They'd have 2 superstar caliber players wanting to pass them the ball. lol

Agree. Needing the ball and being ball dominant are not necessarily the same thing. Magic and Lebron need the ball, but they are not ball dominant. Neither feels like he has to have the assist when he passes the ball, they are both perfectly happy to make the pass that leads to the assist.

Plus, at the end of the day, both are more concerned with wins than stats and smart enough to know that moving the ball would get them the most wins.

Not to mention, if you had Magic and LeBron as your primary ball handlers, any team with a "normal" PG is screwed defensively. So much size and skill.

And that Magic v2.0 is actually more difficult to guard 1on1 lol

Why Giannis?

Why Giannis?

He isn't even close to his potential but even so at 22 or 23 the dude is about 7 ft and can play all positions. He is basically the opposite of KD who can shoot really well but just ok at everything else. This stud is elite at everything except shooting which can still improve.

well done. dont agree on the entire team but still nice (def not SHAQ). i concur that there is another chapter to be written in the NBA and I do think the next gen big man is waiting to be found

Do you believe he will be better than prime Shaq?

Yeah I do. Shaq IMO used his unique size and great footwork to his advantage. But so many parts of his game were missing, notably being able to shoot well

As a Lakers fan, that was what was so frustrating about him and the real cause of the rift between him and Kobe. He had all of that size and God-given talent, but never wanted to put in the work.

If Shaq had worked on his game in the off-season like so many other all time greats did, it's likely that folks would be talking about him as the GOAT instead of MJ.

With all that he already brought to the table, imagine if he could hit free throws, had a respectable shot out to 10-15 feet and could defend the pick and roll worth a damn.

When I was in the Air Force stationed at Clark AFB in the Philippines back in the mid 70's, everyone called it the P.I. (Philippine Islands). I didn't mean it as a dis or anything.

Oh, that's cool. Didn't know they called it PI before, or maybe it's just a military thing

How come you have all these "Bullshit" reactions all over your posts?
