Holy cow what a random but cool topic. I'll have to give it some thought but man, Team J. 3 Mount Rushmore-caliber guys. Magic/MJ/Lebron on the same team?! Team B is no joke either with Byrant/Bird. I'll have to dig up some names to maybe up them a bit. Team B runs crazy deep at the SF position. 2 Hof's backing up Larry Legend.

Fun topic!

Gotta give it to the Jocks. Whenever you can stack up Jordan, Johnson, and James together, you make it very tough to lose games. However, team B with Bird/Bryant is no joke either. Fun thread!

ICWUDT

Probably the most lineup flexibility as well length + ball-handling forwards (Davis/Durant)

Adrian Dantley got left off the team too. That's deep. In fact, I'm swapping Luol for Dantley.
