MJ lists his all-time pick-up team...

[TheDangerousKitchen]

Pippen
Magic
Worthy
Dream

Says with that team there is "no chance of losing... none at all"... and I would be inclined to agree.

I would have to drop Worthy and put in Basketball Jesus...

I was surprised to see Worthy mentioned as well... although MJ's other 3 picks are a no-brainer.

 

[Wazmankg]

Except for Magic he could do better everywhere else.

 

[24seven]

Racist.

Disagree...

Worthy is the only debatable pick, IMO; Pippen, Dream and Magic are a match made in heaven as far as playing alongside Jordan.

OK. Like who?

1st Team: Abdul-Jabbar, Russell, Bird, Jordan, Johnson
2nd Team: Chamberlain, Duncan, James, West, Robertson
3rd Team: O'Neal, Olajuwon, Erving, Bryant, Thomas
4th Team: M. Malone, Garnett, Havlicek, Wade, Frazier
5th Team: Robinson, Nowitzki, Pippen, Drexler, Kidd
Snub Team: Ewing, Barkley, Baylor, Iverson, Nash
Scrub Team: Hurricanedildo39, Weaklink3, True Lacker Fink, Lakers+SUCballs and eh, I don't care - YOU PICK.

Word.

I think Magic has a better argument as GOAT than he does as best point guard ever. Thomas was the best combination passer/shooter/defender of all time despite the fact that michael doesn't want to play with him.

Lol Hurricanedildo!

Surprised you didn't list Pierce. Also I'd switch out Nash with Stockton.

Mj petty as fuck, the list of forwards he could have chosen over worthy is a sad punchline.

Same wirh centers, shaq wilt kareem.

Honestly though if i am building a franchise with multiple rings in mind mj isnt on it, for a pick up game though he certainly is.

 

[lakersrule]

It's not like Worthy was a scrub. He's one of the best fast break finishers ever and he was great in the low/mid post. His quick first step and spin moves were a thing of beauty. I thought it was odd choice but I wouldn't say that he is 'petty as fuck' for making the choice he did. People try to read way too much into the choices MJ makes.

 

[Jims_Doors]

Worthy is only there because MJ is a UNC homer

and he carried UNC (tourney MVP) to MJ's only collegiate championship.

JORDAN is always a colossal dick with his hidden agenda.

He does everything possible to try and subtly reduce the legacy of Lebron James.

He purposely props up players that are no threat to his legacy.

It reduces the value of threats like Lebron, without openly criticizing Lebron.

I might take Lebron as the #1 pick over Jordan.

LEBRON is simply made for a pickup game.

And I certainly would not have James Worthy on that team.
