Got my Keurig coffee and watching game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals.....

Got my French Press coffee and watching The Dan Patrick Show. He's interviewing Patrick Ewing and there are some great stories being told.

Thoughts?

PG - Magic
SG - MJ
SF - Connie Hawkins (he was Dr. J before Dr. J. Probably wouldn't make my real list of all-time greats, but I like to throw him a bone every now and then because he got robbed of playing in the NBA in his prime).
PF - Timmy
C - Kareem

Pretty good team. But do they beat:

LeBron, Wade, Olajuwon, Curry, Durant?

It's close.

it is, but yes, they can beat 'em...

Hakeem was a freak of nature. IMO he was the most skilled center of all-time. Still have Kareem as the best overall but Hakeem is right there imo.

That Curry-KD-Lebron lineup would be unstoppable even with MJ on the other side. I really don't like the Wade fit but it could work.

Mine without taking any players from this lineup (PG-Magic, SG-Kobe, SF-MJ, PF-KG, C-Shaq):

Curry
KD
Bird
Lebron
Hakeem

You have defense all around the court and shooting. Only weakness is Curry's defense but you can switch out bc Hakeem, Lebron, Bird and KD. All are versatile defenders and scorers.

My choice of Hakeem is his ability to draw his defender out of the paint. I pondered Kareem but felt Hakeem may mesh better if we are talking prime to prime

Im going to say something that most don't realize, Wade in his prime was basically as good as Kobe. Biggest difference is Wade prime lasted much shorter due to his injuries but Wade when he was healthy from 2005-2011ish was ridiculous and on about the same level as Kobe

The only reason Wade isn't mentioned in the same breath as Kobe as you stated, injuries caught up to him faster, peak didn't last as long. Wade is the 3rd best SG of all-time behind MJ and Kobe but in his prime Wade could go toe to toe with any guard imo.

Clear #1 on the Miami team with Shaq, not close imo

Yep.

Shorter prime.

Like Lebron, Kobe came straight from high school.

But, he had growing pains and Lebron, Wade were not finished products, but, they were NBA ready from day 1.

If Wade could have stayed healthy longer, he'd be closer to Jordan-lite.

If Kobe's body would have fallen apart earlier, he'd be much closer to a defensive Tracy Mcgrady than MJ.

Before you Kobe kids have a seizure, TMac was a straight from High School guy who had to ride the pine a few years before he broke out.

When he did?

Fucking SAVAGE on offense. But, he couldn't, or wouldn't, guard a chair,if it was nailed to the ground.
