5-man Team To Represent our Planet (All-Time)

[CodeBreaker]

Imagine, aliens from other planet want to invade and take the Earth unless we beat them in Basketball. Who should we send to take the challenge and beat them?

A 1-quarter game, 12 minutes. Who's your 5-man team? (Choose among any players in history)


PS: It's the off-season, this thread can be interesting.

Hard to improve on this realistically. Maybe Pippen at SF for defense?

No more consistent outside shooting? Floor spacing?

I thought of that. I guess you do need at least one deadly outside shooter.

So back to Bird.

How about a 5 man squad from one team:

Shaq
Kareem
Worthy
Kobe
Magic

Beat that!

I love your list and also love the fact that this group can play mostly positionless basketball. I would like to add in a few guys for the bench who fit that ideal.

Olajuwon
Kobe
Duncan
Durant
Curry
Leonard
Pippen

I want bigs who can move their feet and wings who can guard bigger players if need be. There are more talented players who aren't on the the squad, but I think all these pieces would fit really well.

Iverson- 1
Jordan- 2
Magic- 3
Bird - 4
Shaq - 5

Bench- Rodman, Andrew Toney, Dr J, Russell
