Wow, this is a MUCH closer game than I thought at 1st glance, a toss up really
First, the 24 minute rule is the only reason anyone has against Jordan

I think I would have paired Jordan with Bird on the first team, Birds great shooting and passing could have spaced the floor. I think SJ could let Payton guard Jordan, he couldn't stop him, but Jordan himself said Payton was one of the toughest he faced. SJ adding Oscar to the 2nd unit swings that group in his favor IMO. The bigs are really close. Last possession matchup IMO. The man wins it

This is much closer than I expect. But MJ on the 1st and Larry on the 2nd is deadly. Too much talent.

Oscar and Elgin vs. CP3 and Bird??

That 2nd unit is loaded with athletes and pure scorers.

 

[Nosferatu]

I actually think my 2nd unit would really have the advantage. I vote me in a close one.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Give me a few to figure this one out

 

[DJ]

Nos.

 

[DJ]

I had Oscar, how did SJ get him?

 

[Ritzarmy]

I had Oscar, how did SJ get him?

Since he beat you he got to take one of your guys.

 

[broncosmitty]

We did that repick thing where you can take one player from the team you beat.

Vince Carter would hate his life in this matchup. "Hey,Scottie, you got MJ,right? Shit..... I Gervin's out there too?"

Too much offense in the first Wave. Second Wave would be fun to watch. Amare vs Dave. Close one.

Nos takes this.

[True Lakers Fan]

I am going with Nos - that talent is deeper imo

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm gonna take Oscar and give SJ Cheeks, I will move Lanier to the Pistons and use Oscar for the Bucks...

 

[SJ76]

1-1 ain't bad.

 

[SJ76]

Hey Vince Carter and MJ isn't as lopsided as you might think.

Both 6'6, both coached by Dean Smith. Both great athletes. Carter is his Raptor days was pretty sick.

No respect!
