With his size speed and athleticism he’d be swatting shots left and right and I don’t even think Dirk or KD would be immune to this. Then I think 5 of him covers so much ground there would be an additive effect there aren’t a lot of gaps in that D to exploit even for a quick PG. Curry would spread it out but I still think he just plays him one on one and swats the **** out of just about everything curry tries to put up.

Then on the other side I don’t think there’s anyone that can stop him from scoring and 5 of them is just insane. He isn’t going to hit 3s but I don’t think that matters.

A team that shoots 50% from the line and 0% from the arc...I don't think so. Combine that with a 35% from anything beyond 10-15 feet, and you could basically pack the paint with any 5 guys bigger than 6-7 or 6-8 leaving any Wilt beyond 15 feet as open as you like.

A team full of Larry Legends would be unfairly unbeatable.

Magic, Bird, Lebron, KG, Kawai, Wemby

- another sleeper hit - McGrady - tall and strong enough to guard 1-5 (in this era) and fast enough to keep up w anyone
- Prime Artest
- Pippen
- Grant Hill

- others to think about... Krelinko, Rashard Lewis, Hedo, Tatum, Durant, Chet, Antwan Jamison, Giannis, Luka, Dirk, Penny,

Can guard every position...can dribble, pass, shoot at a high level...insane athleticism, crazy strong in the post, great rebounder etc.

Not sure how you ever stop that.


Didn't have a consistent enough outside shot and didn't extend his 3 point range past 25 ft until past his prime.
5 prime Lebrons would be amazing but also terrible spacing.
Would lose against 5 wembys or kds


2013 Lebron was his best version and he shot 57% from the field and 41% from 3.

In 2012 he shot 36% from 3, in 2014 he shot 38% from 3...so while he's not as good as an iso scorer as KD he's still a very good shooter.

Prime Lebron was also one of the best defenders of all time and by his Miami days he developed an excellent post game as well.

Some Lebron stats for the 2012/13 season:

Code: Select all

Overall TS   64.0% (3rd)
Ast%         34.4% (10th)
Fast break   5.4 ppg (4th)
3P <25 feet  47.4 3P%
Right corner 54.8 3P% (6th)
Drives       78.7 FG%
2013/14 stats (12/13 season would probable be something similar given the TS%):
Post/Elbow   57.9 TS%

This kinda versatility and efficiency I believe is unmatched and would be enough to destroy any team of any type, let alone any player x 5.

A 5 Lamar squad would be fun to watch. During his peak he was so shifty while being pretty long. That combined with tight dribble gives you good versatility.

5 Giannis would be extremely tiring to play against.

5 Hakeems.
