Don't like the fit on all-bald, most cancerous locker room in history
All-long is missing Ricky
All-receding has the ugliest "hair"

No winners here.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

Just like how there’s many years of James you could use in an AT team builder, the same goes for him here - with the longevity of the receding hairline.

Walton instead of Ja would make the long-hair team as formidable as any, thinking about it.

LeBron with Boozer and Durant on the unstoppable hairbrush team. Disqualified for GOAT in my book.

I think that team has enough shooters to play Julius. You need a strong inside pressence and Kawhi won't give you the same rim pressure as Erving.

Give Julius Nash, Bird and Walton as playmakers and his finishing ability would be significantly amplified. You also wouldn't lose that much on defense, Julius isn't a lockdown defender like Kawhi but he's a better rim protector (which they also need, as they don't have any secondary rim protector next to Walton).

Both are great choices no doubt! I think younger Dirk (as great as he was slowing pace and with turnover economy) was a very underrated transition player and his getting to the basket ability further is as well. And I think Bird is an underrated helper / secondary rim protector in his younger years. Unsure who specifically would be better between Kawhi and Erving, but can’t go wrong either way :D

All bald easily, you even can even add Baldbe off the bench as the 6th man.

Could throw in a 4th team and make it Chrome Domes v. Afros v. Dreads v. Mullets

If a hairline has been receding for 15 years, is it really receding?

I like the all-receding one. So much experience and intimidation

I think mine was in a period of recession for about that long from widow's peak to bald spot to combover, etc.
