PG-J. Kidd-Magic was better, but for this team, I'll take Kidd's all around game. SG-Kobe-Doing what Jordan but they don't stick no 5'11" Travis Best on him, single coverage in the playoffs like they di to Jordan. When Jordan scored 50, he looked like he was giving it everything he had, When Kobe gets it going, he looks like he could go on forever. If Phil hadn't benched him in at least 3 games he had over 50 at the end of 3, he'd have 4 80 point games. SF-LeBron-Too freakish and athletic to leave off, despite his lack of refinement of skills, dude is still the second best player in today's NBA of circus freak specimens. PF-KG-As a two way player at every spot on the court can make things happen. Gives him the nod over TD and Malone. C-Kareem- Only real competition would be Wilt, but Kareem was better defensively. I'd take this team all day, every day and twice a day on Sundays. I’m gonna go with all 2-way players and assume each is at his prime.

SG - Jordan - hate to say it, but this is another no brainer. I am not sure why other folks are trying to find "glue" guys and "defensive specialists" when you can just as easily find someone that can do both SF - Lebron - Say all you want about Bird and the Big O... lets be honost here for a second.. do you really think that either of them could stop LBJ?? You can have all the "will to win" in the world, but when you have a 6'10, 255lb freak of nature coming at you... all the "will" in the world is not going to help you. PF - Garnett - Here is another guy that can do all the small things of a "glue guy" like Rambis, Rodman, and Horry... but is infinitely more talented!! Hopefully no one forgot that he has been MVP of the league, defnesive player of the league... and showed in Boston that he has no problem being a role player C- Shaq- There are very good arguments for Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem, and The Dream... but I would take this beast anyday. Like Lebron I just think he is more s freak of nature... he is just more dominant.
