Dirk would get slapped around by the Mailman in the post...sheesh

Or by Rodman. If he can slow down Malone he sure as hell can against a soft-ass Dirk.
Not to mention his ability to get under other players skin.
And Hakeem>>>Robinson.

why would malone be in the post? is hakeem gonna be out at the 3 point line

dirk would get the better of malone and with rodman on the court allen is free to play as a safety on defense

hakeem== robinson........individual match-ups arent the measurement its a team game and my team would beat smokes team who has redundant players

hakeem and malone play the same position regardless if they are listed as c and pf

malone played in the post or high post so where is hakeem gonna play

and malone couldnt guard dirk...if you put rodman on him then malone couldnt guard pippen

Well somebody has to guard Malone in post??? Unless you plan on leavkng him open. You have Robinson guarding center and Malone will be pounding it in the post against Dirk and scoring everytime.

And you have no go-to scorers other than Dirk.

holy shit lol.......the same pippen who led the bulls to the ECF without jordan or robinson,allen arent considered go-to scorers .....:burt:

so you are fine with hakeem out at the 3 point line while malone works his one move in the post

No it isn't unrealistic bc you always have other pple that think other players are better especially when you go throughout history. I could take LBJ down the line just bc pple will go with old school players. I win!

I'd start with Magic I guess. 6'8" point guard who knows how to dish and can score with a wicked hook shot? Great teammate on top of all that? No brainer. If I can't take Jordan I'll start with Magic.

Bone does have a point though in taking players with huge match up problems.

Magic, Nowitzki, LeBron, Durant, McGrady (in his prime), etc

forgot about him.

Nobody has said A1, maybe bc of his size and his matchup against bigger players?

Never really liked AI. Took ball hogging to a whole new level. Wasn't effective on the court at all without the ball in his hands.

off the top of my head......trying to go how a fanasty draft might

pf- dirk
sf-pippen
c-david robinson///(my boy camby would be on my bench somewhere)
sg-ray allen
pg- stockton

can score and play top defense and would be a TEAM

ps....would run a flow offense with robinson moving from high to low post and vice versa

Big problem with that team and it's Pippen. You'd take Pippen over the Mailman, Lebron, Kevin Durrant, James Worthy, etc? Pippen is vastly over-rated. You'd take Ray Allen over a tenacious defender and better shooter in Reggie Miller?

As much as I like David Robinson (why can't all athletes be like this guy?), Hakeem would eat him alive.

True. But I guess when you think of guys that can score at will he is in the conversation, but team aspect no. Hence the 0 ships.
