Fab 4 Lakers. At least on paper...

Can you imagine prime Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Payton on the same team.

That's tough ...

Celts would have the star power of KG, Pierce, and Allen, three hall of famers in their prime as well as PJ Brown and Sam Cassell at their best. The Mavs would have Kidd and Nowitzki, hall of famers, as well as other decent stars, Josh Howard, Stackhouse, Eddie Jones, and Jason Terry all at their prime. Phoenix with Shaq and Nash, two of the best ever at their positions as well as Grant Hill and Amare Stoudemire. Those guys in their prime together would be unstoppable. The Spurs would be sick with Duncan, arguably the league's best PF ever, as well as Finley, Thomas, Manu, Parker, and Stoudemire at their bests ...

Shaq in his prime was good enough to win 3 titles even though he had to play with kobe, imagine if he had a prime Hill, Nash, and Amare?

A team like the Blazers would be pretty good, but much harder to gauge since we don't know how good these players will be in their prime...

Honestly the Suns would dominate simply because Shaq and Grant Hill (however brief his prime was) were so dominant at their best. Nash and Amare would simply help provide the best 3rd and 4th options in the league.

A prime Spurs team would be solid, I mean think about it...

- Tim Duncan
- Tony Parker
- Manu Ginobii
- Michael Finley

Those four are as sick as anybody, but then you have to throw in a prime:

- Damon Stoudamire
- Bruce Bowen
- Robert Horry
- Kurt Thomas

Man that's just icing on the cake.

The best thing about the group of players listed above is that all of their games and egos would fit together as well.

Suns easily. Nash, Hill, Amare, Shaq could easily be 4 of the 5 on the All-NBA First team.

Portland is gonna be sick too. Prime Roy, Outlaw, Aldridge, Oden.
It's actually gonna happen in about 4 years too.

Shaq, Kobe and scrubs beat Duncan's super team so PHX would sweep them year in and year out.
