Continental Chaos Semis: GeorgeMarcus vs Larry_Russell*

Here is a quick list of what you need in your writeup.
1. Specific years for each player on your team
2. Rotations and minutes for each player
3. Reasoning as to why your team will win and/or why people should vote for you.
Do not vote in this thread until both managers have submitted their writeups. Once the writeups are posted, I will add a poll, and the team with the most votes after 24 hours will advance.
EACH MANAGER SHOULD ALSO VOTE FOR THEIR OWN TEAM IN THE POLL - IF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS, YOU ARE SIMPLY GIVING AWAY A VOTE. If the votes are tied, we will decide the matchup via AI vote.
You are not required to state or explain your vote, but you are free to comment in the thread if you want to.
If writeups aren't posted within 24 hours, we will vote solely based on the players they have drafted (and any rotations they have posted on their roster page).

Going to defend this straight up
I have a monster defensive team here. Elite size speed, hands and effort.
There is no weak spot to attack for george here
Offemsively I am going to cook. Jordan embiid duo is elite and george has no one to come close to guarding the goat.
Jordan will hunt parker, marjerle, schempf relentlessly.

Majerle (28) / Manu (20)
Parker (36) / Manu (12)
OverviewThe Duncan/Ginobili/Parker trio are back and better than ever. Imagine the best version of that core with the addition of 3 All-Stars- Sheed, Schrempf and Majerle- each as seamless as they are impactful. The product: a well-oiled machine and some of the most beautiful basketball this world has seen. Pretty sweet when you can say your 6th best player is... Majerle? Even Radmanovic and Mbah Moute make meaningful contributions as a knock down shooter and versatile defender respectively.
Peak Duncan lies at the heart of the machine, but unlike most GOAT-level players, his unselfish approach allows his teammates to flourish not as sidekicks but crucially valued members who may take the reins of "alpha" whenever it suits the team. His unshakable mental fortitude was the glue that held together a dynasty.
