1994 Pippen / 1996 Kukoc / 1989 E.Johnson / 1999 S.Elliot
1996 Jordan / 1989 Hornacek / 1989 Majerle
1989 KJ / 1992 Mark Price / 2003 Tony Parker / 1996 Kerr himself I guess
Couldn't decide which bigs to cut to get it to 15.

Bruce Brown's is pretty incredible for how short his career is.
Tyrese Haliburton / Kyrie Irving
James Harden / Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Kevin Durant / Bruce Brown
Blake Griffin / Aaron Gordon
Nikola Jokic / Miles Turner

I did him earlier lol
But no way Harden starts. CP3 and Kyrie for sure.

Oh damn didn’t see it, props
Idk about the CP+Kyrie backcourt really.. 2020 Harden was still 95% of his MVP form I thought (obviously a disappointing playoff series but what else is new) and the Paul-Harden backcourt in 2018 was incredible, a lot of synergy there. I hate undersized teams and a Paul-Irving backcourt is as undersized as it gets.
On the other hand, you’re right that Irving fits much better next to generational passers in Jokic and LeBron than Harden does due to his off ball play.
Tough one. Maybe Harden would be best served as the 6th man to come in and run some Harden Ball in spurts.

Re: LeBron's All-Time 5 against anyone's All-Time 5
I think if you replace Kareem or Shaq for Dirk, they're more balanced. From a talent perspective, this team seems the most loaded.Colbinii wrote:EmpireFalls wrote:Provided that the player himself doesn’t have to start:
A.C. Green:

Shaq
Magic
Kobe
Barkley
Worthy
Dirk
Kevin Johnson
I don't think this team beats LeBron's.

Re: LeBron's All-Time 5 against anyone's All-Time 5
Lebron's All-Time 5 is actually pretty mediocre. I mean, take Marc Gasol as a random example:
James '20-21 / Conley '12-13 / Lowry '18-19
Green '18-19 / Caldwell-Pope '20-21 / Tony Allen '12-13
Kawhi '18-19 / Gay '10-11
Davis '20-21 / Siakam '19-20 / Randolph '10-11
Gasol '16-17 / Ibaka '18-19
Doesn't have the biggest names, but it's a well constructed team and a defensive powerhouse. Would easily beat Lebron's best.

Exactly what I was thinking was 6th man at best, but even then tbh, do I really wanna take the ball out of CP3, LeBron and Jokic's hands to give it to Harden? I don't tbh.
