The better PG, the better SG, the better PF and the better C. And I don't really see any match-up problems for the Lakers All Time outside of Lebron/KD. Kareem and Shaq will absolutely destroy current TD and Dwight though and the guard match-ups are a nightmare.

Pau over Defensive Anchor-model Wilt Chamberlain?

Lakers, pretty easily.

Why do people always try to put guys like Shaq or Wilt or Kareem at PF? Those guys couldn't play PF for nothing.

The Lakers all time line up is stupid. So NBA team fits better and win.
Kobe isnt a small forward, Worthy isnt a power forward, Kareem was better at center, and he cant play with Shaq. All time Lakers line up would be

Magic
Kobe
Worthy
Gasol
Kareem/Shaq

NBA team win.

Well this is fantasy player comparison world, you should know that better than anyone. I don't see why Shaq and KAJ couldn't both be in the same front court. Don't label the position, just put your 2 big men in the front court...
I'm so tired of the typical......

NO I would put West in the starting lineup for two reasons. one, he's a combo PG/SG, on offense he plays the SG, but on the defensive end, he plays the PG because Magic can't guard those quick CP3 type. Two, West would be a cluth shooter that can spread the floor for Magic and Kobe to operated. On the inside, you got the Power play of Shaq and the skillful play of Kareem. Perfect combination of strength, size, and agility.

For those who say Kareem can't play PF. How do you know?? The difference between a PF/C is marginal at best. When we think of a 4, we tend to think of someone who can hit mid-range shot while playing down low. That's Kareem's game.
