Ok, I'm game. I'll go about this from two perspectives. I'll limit it to players I've accutally watched and I'll try to build a team rather than a stats sheet.
PG: John Stockton (I loved his game and I think given that I can choose any number of scorers for the other four slots a pure PG is whats needed)
SG: Jordan (do I have to? Magic was a guy I'd ike to have put here)
SF: Larry Bird ( Guy has all around game and hits the three in legendary style)
PF: Charles Barkley (say what you will the little pudge was a beast in his day.
C: Shaq (in his prime he was unstopable in the league)

I'm also gonna go with players that I've seen play:
PG: Magic
SG: Jordan (I'd be surprised if anyone left him out)
SF: LBJ (he can do a little bit of everything at a very high level)
PF: The Worm (he may not score but, you don't need him to)
C: Shaq
The hardest pick for me was at PG. I couldn't decide between a pure PG or a combo guy that has handles. I decided to go with Magic because he'd be splitting the duties between himself, MJ & LBJ.

PG: Magic (simply as a distributor)
SG: Jordan (first option)
SF: Bird (a jack-of-all-trades player, third scorer)
PF: Rodman (okay, a dubious choice with Duncan and Barkley on the board, but the best man-to-man defender and rebounder I've ever seen)
C: Hakeem (better shotblocker than Shaq, plus more versatile, second scorer)

my all-european lineup
PG: Tony Parker
SG: Drazen Petrovic
SF: Predrag Stojakovic
PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Arvydas Sabonis
all-international
same thing, but PG: Steve Nash and arguably C: Yao Ming. but Sabonis was an absolute monster and would have been a top 10 center of all-time if he played his entire career in the NBA.

If you take the best years of Shawn Kemp's career and pick and choose statistical categories, you get this
20.5 ppg (98-99)
11.4 rpg (95-96)
2.6 apg (93-94)
1.8 spg (93-94)
2.1 bpg (93-94)
In Tim Duncan's rookie season, he bettered all those numbers except the steals.
He then bettered all those numbers, except steals, for each of the next 6 seasons.
So unless you think steals are an exceptionally important statistical category, I cannot imagine how you could pick Kemp over Duncan.

How are people putting anyone but Wilt at C?
PG - Magic Johnson*
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - Larry Bird**
PF - Kareem
C - Wilt Chamberlain
* = or Stockton, very close IMO.
** = or LeBron, as much as I love some of the other greats.
