That's a nice thought experiment. What would be your starting five? I'd have to really think about that as I would be heavily biased toward the 90s NBA as that was what I've watched the most. I'd have to have MJ and Kobe alternate between SG and SF. Just can't pass up on having two stone-cold killers on the court.
Tentatively my starting 5:
PG: Stockton
SG: MJ
SF: Kobe
PF: Rodman (have enough scorers, need a monster for the rebounds)
C: Hakeem
Oh yeah, Lebrick always had a terrible jumpshot for sure. Back when I used to play 2K, I always used to deliberately edit him from a overrated 90+ overall to where I think he belongs w/o the PEDs, in the 70-80 overall rating.
1) curry 2) Kobe 3) mj 4) bird 5) shaq
My fav quote on curry - “he is iverson but with two parents” ball don’t lie, best shooter ever
Nice lineup...man just imagine having a prime MJ, Kobe, and Bird on the same team.
I was debating between The Dream, The Admiral, or Big Shaq for center.
And damn I completely forgot about Steph Curry. That kid amazes me with how he can quickly chuck up a half-court shot and you'd just expect him to make that bucket. Unreal he is...he makes shooting a basketball seem easy.
Off the dribble deep 3s are basically impossible to guard against. Steph changed the game lol those were bad shots that would get you benched… until they mostly went in 😂
But yeah that’s why I’d want bird over lebron, since Kobe and mj are going to be ball dominant and they can kick it out to curry or bird to shoot
Bird was a great passer too
