Ok, I'm game. I'll go about this from two perspectives. I'll limit it to players I've accutally watched and I'll try to build a team rather than a stats sheet.
PG: John Stockton (I loved his game and I think given that I can choose any number of scorers for the other four slots a pure PG is whats needed)
SG: Jordan (do I have to? Magic was a guy I'd ike to have put here)
SF: Larry Bird ( Guy has all around game and hits the three in legendary style)
PF: Charles Barkley (say what you will the little pudge was a beast in his day.
C: Shaq (in his prime he was unstopable in the league)

I'm also gonna go with players that I've seen play:
PG: Magic
SG: Jordan (I'd be surprised if anyone left him out)
SF: LBJ (he can do a little bit of everything at a very high level)
PF: The Worm (he may not score but, you don't need him to)
C: Shaq
The hardest pick for me was at PG. I couldn't decide between a pure PG or a combo guy that has handles. I decided to go with Magic because he'd be splitting the duties between himself, MJ & LBJ.

PG: Magic (simply as a distributor)
SG: Jordan (first option)
SF: Bird (a jack-of-all-trades player, third scorer)
PF: Rodman (okay, a dubious choice with Duncan and Barkley on the board, but the best man-to-man defender and rebounder I've ever seen)
C: Hakeem (better shotblocker than Shaq, plus more versatile, second scorer)

my all-european lineup
PG: Tony Parker
SG: Drazen Petrovic
SF: Predrag Stojakovic
PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Arvydas Sabonis
all-international
same thing, but PG: Steve Nash and arguably C: Yao Ming. but Sabonis was an absolute monster and would have been a top 10 center of all-time if he played his entire career in the NBA.

PG - Chris Paul (he will be the best soon)
SG - Kobe Bryant (Jordan who?)
SF - Lebron James ( no brainer imho)
PF - Shawn Kemp (before he did too much crack)
C - Shaquille O'Neal (before he got 90 in a 30 year old body)

If you take the best years of Shawn Kemp's career and pick and choose statistical categories, you get this
20.5 ppg (98-99)
11.4 rpg (95-96)
2.6 apg (93-94)
1.8 spg (93-94)
2.1 bpg (93-94)
In Tim Duncan's rookie season, he bettered all those numbers except the steals.
He then bettered all those numbers, except steals, for each of the next 6 seasons.
So unless you think steals are an exceptionally important statistical category, I cannot imagine how you could pick Kemp over Duncan.

Clearly you have been only been watching the NBA for a few years.

How are people putting anyone but Wilt at C?
PG - Magic Johnson*
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - Larry Bird**
PF - Kareem
C - Wilt Chamberlain
* = or Stockton, very close IMO.
** = or LeBron, as much as I love some of the other greats.

Can't argue with this one. That's a disgusting collection of defence and offence.
