That Blazers team when they basically threw all aging stars and combined them with aging very good role players with Rasheed and co.
That was a very very deep team....
But in terms of starting 5.. Suns.
A prime Grant Hill.... sorry, but its like an adventurer telling his tales of a unicorn up in the mountains to kids.... people if you didnt get to see Hill... well... they predicted him to be the torch bearer of the league after Jordan.
He is a "finesse" version of LeBron James.... with better jump shot.... also no way near as big as LeBron.
Pretty much, LeBron is the "strength" version of Grant Hill.... and Grant Hill is the "smooth/finesse" version of LeBron.
Grant didnt score as much, but he could of... he was a true Point forward that he ran the plays other than just driving it in and finding the open cutter or corner for the assists...
He literally got the ball moving around.....
So he was deinitely better than Paul Pierce.... as someone brought up before... a much smarter player. And I like Pierce.

C: Dirk Nowitzki (06-07: 24.5 pts, 8r, all-nba 1st, NBA MVP)
BENCH
Jamaal Magloire (03-04: 14 pts, 10r, all-star)
Eric Dampier (03-04: 12 pts, 12r, plays with desire [contract year])
Jason Terry (06-07: 17 pts, 5 ast, almost .50 FG%)
I forgot that Dallas can also bring off the bench 00-01 Jerry Stackhouse (29.8 pts, 5a, 4r, all-star)
That's seven all-stars.
