Its Easy! Pick 12 HOF Players and make a team ...

PG - Magic Johnson, Steve Nash

SG - Micheal Jordan, Kobe Bryant

SF - Lebron James, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen

PF - Tim Duncan, Denis Rodman

C - Russel,Wilt,Shaq

Every team will be incredible but can anyone beat that?

It about building a team though not just picking the 12 best players ever.

Any great team will have a combination of great shooters and players who don't need the ball to dominate.

I'll take Pippen over Miller actually because Jordan,Bryant,Bird would give me enough shooters. I am a huge fan of Rodman & Pippen and both should be on my team.

I can construct a team with 2 superstars and players like Shawn Marion and tell you that this team could beat yours but you wouldn't believe me.

It's not about making a team with the best players possible. It's about making players who could play together.

Naw man I would love to hear you convince me, thats why I made the post. I do have "role players" in Rodman,Pippen Nash. Those are not the top 12 to ever play but thats the best TEAM imho.

Johnson/James/Nash = Run the show

Jordan/Kobe = Killers who make shot after shot after shot .... in the clutch.

Bird/Duncan = Elite production, underated toughness and great leadership.

Rodman/Pippen = Rebound & play D which is what this team needs.

Russel/Wilt/Shaq = Russel & Wilt are top 5 alltime players ... plus Shaq.

* That is exactly what a team would want ... you have everything covered.

Johnson / James wouldn't work together on the court. They're the same player.

I feel like making this team:

G: Michael Jordan/ Jerry West
G: Kobe Bryant/ Dwyane Wade
F: Larry Bird/ LeBron James
F: Kevin Garnett/ Dennis Rodman
C: Wilt Chamberlain/ Hakeem Olajuwon

Coach: Phil Jackson
Assistant Coaches: Tex Winters, Red Auerbach

That would be one surreal team.. no need for a real pg.
