Magic vs Penny.....no way to spin this. Huge mismatch
Gervin vs Richmond....edge Gervin. No question
Rodman vs LBJ...Rodman gives him fits
Baylor vs Unseld...Baylor, will guard Unseld on D
Cowens vs Kareem... Will get double team help from Magic or Baylor

Magic gets everyone the ball where they want it and abuses Penny. Unseld, Caldwell Jones, Michael Cooper, TLance has so many non factors on offense, doubles on KAJ will always be available, and I have 3 shot blockers on the bench

TRADES: 4th and $4 to WLK for 2nd
9th to Bolts for 10th and $1

C - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - $19

-PG: Penny vs. CP3: Penny has not been getting a lot of love, but he was 2 time first team NBA before he got hurt. At 6'7", he was a dynamic playmaker and a matchup nightmare. Chris Paul has the advantage, but the matchup is close. He is not shutting Penny down.

-SG: Richmond vs. Iguodala: Iguodala is 1 inch taller, but Richmond actually outweighs him by 8 pounds. This is not a defensive mismatch, but I really hope Shane thinks it is. If he runs offense through Iggy, that means his most efficient offensive players are losing touches. Heavy advantage to Richmond here, even though I am sure Iggy guards someone else. Kobe will tire chasing Richmond off pin down screens.

-SF: LeBron vs. Kobe: LeBron is one of the best on ball defenders to ever play. He outweighs Kobe by 40 pounds and has 2 inches on him. There are very few players better suited to guard Kobe, but one just as good happens to reside on my bench in Cooper. Coop will slide over on Kobe and between the two elite defenders, plus chasing Richmond and Ellis, the Mamba will have nothing left. Before anyone suggest that Iggy can guard LeBron, here are the King's averages from the last 2 Finals matchups:

2015: 35.8, 13.3 Rebs, and 8.8 assists
2016:29.7, 11.3, 8.9

LeBron produces significantly more than Kobe in this matchup.

PF: Caldwell Jones vs. Webber: Wes was not scoring for me anyway, so he moves to the bench where he can help anchor my second unit, this also allows my defensive ace, Jones, to get all of his minutes at the 4 against Webber. Wes will still play a lot, but I am best suited using Jones against the stars instead of the second team. Webber has the edge, but, Jones was a 2 time all first team defender in the NBA and averaged over 2.9 blocks 3 times in the ABA. He can slow Webber and crush CWebb on the boards.

C: Kareem vs Hakeem: ultimate respect to Hakeem, but Kareem is the only center clearly better. You can't block the sky hook, and Hakeem's help opportunities will be limited by primary responsibility guarding Kareem.

Bench:

Shane's bench is solid, but I have an MVP on mine. Ellis is a better scorer than anybody on Shane's bench, and Cooper is key vs. Kobe. I also like the Lever/Rose two headed monster over Harper. Prince is solid, but not strong enough to match up with LeBron.

I think my starters have better matchups, and my bench more talent with Unseld with the second unit.

The rim will never be left unprotected with Duncan, Wilt, and Camby. And I have plenty of shooting to keep any of you from crashing in on Wilt or Duncan in the post - unless you want to just give a bunch of elite shooters the green light. On the bench I have perimeter defense, shooting, and rim protection.

When you have MJ, the Logo, and Patrick Ewing your supporting cast needs to be just that, a supporting cast... Shane Battier is a perfect compliment to a team who needs spot up shooting from deep (career .384 3pt % over 3800 attempts), and a wing defender with size (6'8" 220 pounds officially)... If necessary I can swing him to the 4 and bring Lewis in but I don't believe that to be necessary as Larry Nance is a defensive stud as well... A career 2.2 blks per game, he also had a sweet jumper to go along with his high flying act scoring a career average 17.1 ppg (.546 shooting %)... A supporting cast like that will ensure nobody can double and if you can't double Jordan I don't care who you have you're in trouble... The spacing I have is amazing by the way... 2 3pt threats 2 bigs who can play free throw line in and Jordan...

My bench while inexpensive continues with the theme of support... Nate McMillan is a 2 time all defensive player who is only there to give West 10/12 minutes rest maybe less in that if I need a shooter instead of defense I can play Hawkins at the point with Jordan being the main focus... Hawkins is my 3pt threat (.394 3pt %)... Unlike many of the 3pt specialist he averaged double digit scoring all but 2 of his 12 year career while peaking at 22ppg... Reggie Lewis was a rising star before he unexpectedly passed away... The heir apparent to Bird averaged 20.8 ppg his last 2 seasons, solid leader off the bench... Zbo brings that low post presence off the bench... Nick named first name 20 last name 10 by NBA tv analysts he consistently puts great numbers working the high low with Marc Gasol, as it happens Sabonis will play that role... The original Marc Gasol, IMO playing in the same conference as prime Shaq hurt him in that he had to hang with Shaq several times a year including the playoffs... He's still maybe the best passing big ever and a solid scorer and defender... In all I think my horses are too strong and have just enough help to win...

It will be tough to defeat Jordan in the voting as usual but I feel my team of 5 HOF starters should be able to get it done. This group has everything and all roles covered. The Kidd and Dirk pick and roll would be absolutely amazing to see. Wade will be be the guy who can penetrate the defense and create his own shot. Mullin will provide the spot up shooting along with Kidd and Dirk. Mikan low post scoring along with Dirk. Defensively have Mikan protecting the rim with Kidd and Wade as a great defensive backcourt. I could not think of many guys I would rather go against Jordan with than Wade personally. They both have that killer mentality. Bench is solid too with Free and Rider solid scorers, Williams at one point one of the top 2 PGs in the league, Oakley putting people on their asses and Carroll a 17 and 9 career average.
