New York probably wins as far as starting lineups go.

Kareem
Bob Lanier
Dr. J
Michael Jordan
Mark Jackson

I still like Louisiana's big man depth much more than anyone else's.

A little OT, but I was prompted to post this

I've always lamented the fact that Artis Gilmore never got the respect he deserves--one of the top 5-6 centers of all time, IMO

but even less known and appreciated by today's fans is Gus Johnson. Johnson was remarkable....

but IMO it strikes no fear in the hearts of that Ohio team, prime v. prime...

Kareem himself said no other player ever played him tougher than Nate...Lucas is a HOF player and exceptional rebounder with great range...I love the Doctor but when all is said and done LeBron will be judged as better...Jordan never once in his career faced a defender of the tireless Havlicek's caliber...and even as a Pacer fan I'd take Stormin' Norman's defense and all around game over Jackson's...

fixed it for you bro..I represent NY better..

can you guys imagine it? HH37 feeding it to Jordan for an iso..then throwing a lob to Dr.J..giving an entry to pass to Kareem in the post..letting Jordan and Dr.J make up for my defensive deficiencies on the perimeter..
