Post#1 » by BillyHoyle » Mon Aug 4, 2008 10:50 pm

if you could select an All-Time Magic startng 5, (don't focus only on numbers but on "team-chemistry" as well), how would it look like?

Players that were actually on the roster (no Chris Webber) in their primes:
PG: Penny Hardaway/Chauncey Billups/Steve Francis
SG: Tracy McGrady/Mike Miller/Dennis Scott
SF: Grant Hill/Dominique Wilkins/Rashard Lewis
PF: Dwight Howard/Shawn Kemp/Horace Grant
C: Shaquille O'Neal/Patrick Ewing/Ben Wallace

Cuts: Hedo Turkoglu, Nick Anderson, Cuttino Mobely, Scott Skiles, Corey Maggette.

Starting lineup is amazing, lots of unselfish perimeter players who can score combined with unstoppable interior players, who also anchor the defense. Good backup scoring at every position, defensive roleplayers, and 3pt shooters.

Ditto.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Agree with TheGlyde...well done. Grant Hill hurt us too much to be included.

All in their primes?

SG- McGrady/Anderson
SF- Hill/Turkoglu
PF- Kemp/Grant

Yeah, I put Grant Hill in there...he was sick before he came to the Magic. And by sick, I don't mean he was in and out of the hospital.
