ITT we make a dream team
Let's try to make the best team possible. I'm going to go to the sixth man, you can stick with starting five or go farther if you want.
I don't mean mash together a "Top 5 all time" try to create the best team you can, based on objective ability, impact and chemistry.
>Lebron James
>Dirk Nowitzki
>Magic Johnson
>Larry Bird
>Dwayne Wade
Sixth man
>Hakeem Olajuwon
Magic obviously will run the offense. Bird and Wade will try to focus on corner threes and the perimeter. Dirk will focus on dominating the mid range while Lebron will be agressive and drive to the basket.
The defense will have Lebron and Dirk working together to guard the paint while running a standard zone.
Hakeem will sub in to take over in the paint. This will be for when Dirk subs out and Lebron takes over at SF or Lebron subs out.
Dirk's German tho.
What might be a good idea OP, is make a strawpoll for every position (PG, SG etc.) full of HOF (and potential HOF) candidates, everyone then votes for who should start plus bench players.

Wow! Great job!
Did you know Hakeem Olajuwon is Nigerian?

Everyone would just pick the same meme players rather than actually try to put together a team.
I want people to think about objective skill and chemistry. Not just >muh rings.

Do you know what the purpose of a Dream Team is?

6th man- Rodman

You're looking at it solely from the perspective of an olympic team.
I just want to talk about really good teams.
Maybe you should actually read the post instead of just a few quick glances.

>PG: Stephon Curry - ..
kek
>PG: Magic Johnson - Excellent midrange shooter and playmaker, and extremely clutch and versatile as well.
>SG: Michael Jordan - Obviously
>SF: Larry Bird - Provides some much needed outside shooting and great basketball IQ. You get three crunch time killers on the same team.
See Dream Team.
>PF: Dirk Nowitzki - Deadly midrange shooter, which is very important for spacing on this team. Also has been an underrated defender his whole career.
>C: Shaq - Don't really need to say much about his power game. His rebounding and defense are underrated because he took regular seasons off, but when the chips were down he always raised his defensive game to another level, a level good as any in NBA history IMO.

why pick Shaq when you can have Kareem or Hakeem? Kareem is the greatest scorer of all time and Shaq is known to not play well with others when he's not the #1 option.
Jordan, Lebron, Kareem, Shaq, Steve Nash
with Magic off the bench
