GOAT team game 

Post#1 » by zimpy27 » Thu Jul 31, 2025 11:21 pm

Not including players still in prime (Jokic + Giannis) as they are still climbing the list

5 points: Jordan, LeBron, Duncan, KAJ
4 points: Magic, Kobe, Hakeem, Russell
3 points: Curry, Bird, Wilt, Shaq
2 points: Big O, West, Garnett, Robinson
1 point: CP3, Erving, Durant, Dirk



Make the best starting 5 by using 13 points.

CP3
Jordan

So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Curry Magic Bird Dirk Robinson

Shooting and passing off the charts. They give up two and score 3.

Mostly i was just trying to make a team without Jordan, as the choices seem to be pushing people to choose Jordan (not many SGs on list).

LeBron, Jordan, Curry, Big O, West, Magic, CP3, Kobe could all be used at the 2 guard spots. I don't think you needed to have a specfic SG. That's 8 out of 20 players.


I like your team though. Magic and Curry woud be nice

Though I think this team would improve a lot with Pippen at the 3.
BAF Clippers: Great Team. No Future.
PG: SGA | Coleworld
SG: Big Ragu | Podz
SF: Kuminga | Thybulle
PF: KAT | K. Williams
C: BroLo | D. Sharpe

Deep Bench - Merrill | Craig | Reath | Saric | Lowry

Curry
West
LeBron
Durant
Garnett

IMO, the best. Great mix of defense, playmaking and shooting.

Curry
Kobe
Durant
Garnett
Robinson

Like this one a lot too. More of an old school lineup, but absolutely dominant defensively.

I think this is the winner. We forget how absolutely elite prime CP3 was. He carries those Hornet teams. Better defender than Curry as well. You have shooting and top tier defense at every position. CP3 and LeBron handling the rock.

I do wonder if Kobe could handle not being the first fiddle though. That's my only concern. The 3-peat Kobe would be ideal here for his defense.

Would’ve loved to squeeze Bird in there but only so many dollars to go around. Shaq Jordan Curry … I don’t see how you could deviate from that. Maybe Wilt and Shaq interchangeable.
