What if there was a magic youth potion

Whoever took it can return to whatever age they chose (in this case, when the player was in their prime). what if you had one bottle, and it was only enough for one person to drink. Who would you choose on your favorite team to give it to?
Rockets - I'd give it to Dikembe, but I also thought about giving it to T-Mac.
Alston
tmac
battier
Prime Deke
Yao
Our post defense would be unbelievable. Nobody would be able to score on us.
Would the Suns give it to Shaq or Grant? Prime Shaq would be sick on them but Prime Hill on that team would be sick too.

They'd give it to Shaq, easily, and build a big trophy case.
For my teams, Rockets....yeah, I suppose Deke, though he and Yao would be an awkward combo, imo, and an Orlando T-Mac might be better. Raps I'd guess...Rasho? They'd probably move to have the rule outlawed, as I don't see it helping them much.

Vince Carter circa 2000/2001

Yeah, pre-knee VC would be one of the greatest beneficiaries of this thing. I think people forget what he was like back then.

Patrick Ewing.
Him and Dwight would be epic.

Antonio McDyess?

Insert 20/10 PF into our starting lineup, rather than the 10/9 guy he is now?
It's either him or Rasheed Wallace, who was once a 19/8 guy.

Penny. Give it to him now and have him go through the knee surgery now with a better chance of recovering with the same game ala Amare.

Shaq would be all over that.

Yeah, give some of that stuff to Shaq and PHX wins the chip.

For the Heat, Mourning (esp if it gives him his kidney back) . . . for the Wiz, mmm, no one active is in serious decline so I guess I'd give it to Wes and let him suit up again.

I'd probably give it to Garnett, make him 26 or so again. If not Garnett, probably Doc, and let Tom Thibodeau take over the team. Starting a prime Doc with Rondo backing him up would probably give the team one of the better pg rotations int he league.
