[broncosmitty]

Isiah Thomas
Joe Dumars
Grant Hill
Dennis Rodman
Ben Wallace

games in the 50s-60s
not good as an actual team with no front court scoring, Pistons would struggle to score, but not as much as the opponent.

I’d go with Lanier over Ben here.

I didn’t know what to do with KD, he’s arguably almost at or even equal to Curry’s level but he was there only 3 years. Then again he was great all three years not just there taking up space

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

He said 5

I know, I had to add reserves

I think you have to take KD over Draymond

Not over Klay? I put Draymond slightly above Klay.

But yeah that works too, KD instead of Klay

Lotta ways to skin these cats

 

[Pastafazul]

Reed
Lucas
Fraizer
Monroe
Debeuccher

 

[Pastafazul]

Let’s not forget

Jared ‘stick man’ Jeffries

The most underrated player to ever play the game.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I'd be interested to see if Lebron cracks the Lakers top 5 all time in about ten years time

For me right now its

Shaq
Kobe
Kareem
Magic
Logo

 

[TheGoodMan19]

Buffalo Braves

Moses Malone*
Bob McAdoo
Adrian Dantley
Ernie DiGregario
Randy Smith

*yeah, Moses only played two games here but WTF...

Not a bad team

 

[Wamu]

Washington Wizards/Bullets

1: Elvin Hayes- 6 time All NBA, 3 time 1st team and the best player on the only championship the Bullets ever won.

2: Wes Unseld- 1 1st team all NBA, and also a key member of the title team. Thought about putting him number 1 because although not the overall player Hayes was, he meant more the organization with his stint as coach and in the front office

3: Gus Johnson- 4 time all NBA, one of the best wings form his era. <--

4: Michael Jordan- obviously a shell of his former self, but the Wizards just don’t have that many guys to pick from.

5: Bradley Beal- longevity with the team and All NBA production for a season or 2.

Honorable Mentions:

Moses Malone, John Wall, Earl Monroe, Bernard King, Gilbert Arenas, and of course the great Manute Bol.

Love the Gus Johnson mention.

Klay

Honorable mention Nate Thurmond.

Love the Nate Thurmond mention.

 

[Wamu]

Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Larry Legend, Kevin McHale, Jayson Tatum

 

[msgkings322]

Love the Nate Thurmond mention.

Yeah and I probably have to put KD in there somewhere too. Maybe bump Klay.

Shaq

Kareem

That will be interesting. I had Shaq and Lebron as kind of 5a and 5b...gave the edge to Shaq because of more titles and going into the HoF as a lAKER (which I don't see Lebron doing)), but could change it to Lebron if they get another title or 2 with him.

That's a tough choice to make. Splash Brother's are the best backcourt I've seen in my opinion. But KD's on a different level than Klay.

Right KD is obviously better and was at his peak as a Warrior. But he was here just 3 years and Klay is part of the core trio.
