My team probably wouldn't dazzle from the three which could turn out to be a problem in today's NBA, but I like their defense, competitive makeup and their ability to create easy baskets for each other.

Rod Strickland/Phil Chenier/Trevor Ariza/Chris Webber/Elvin Hayes

Leaving Arenas on the bench was a tough choice, but I like him more as a change of pace guy, with Strickland being a better, bruising fit with the rest of the group.

Hayes over Unseld was another tough one for me, but Hayes length and athleticism struck me as a better fit alongside Webber.

My bench:

Arenas, Wall, Ballard, Hamilton, Malone, Unseld, Dandridge

If there are no rules, I'll still break em. I'll go with a 6 man starting lineup.

Starters: Wall, Arenas, Bobby D, Gus Johnson, Elvin and Wes.

Reserves: Michael Jordan, CWeb, Ruland, Kevin Porter (stealing CCJ's good call), Rip Hamilton, Walt Bellamy, Caron Butler, Mitch Kupchack.

I never saw Gus Johnson and Walt Bellamy but heard too many good things about them to leave them off - and Johnson's stats for his first 8 seasons with the Bullets were terrific.

The only rule should be to have been a Bullets/Wizards fan for far too long.

PG - Mark Price
SG - Mitch Richmond
SF - Hot Plate Williams
PF - Jan Vesely (tie with Oleksiy Pecherov)
C - Kwame F Brown

Bench:
Muggsy Bogues
Javaris Crittendon
Chris Singleton
Andray Baltche
Javale McGee

Team President - Susan O'Malley
GM - EFG
Coach - Leonard Hamilton

I almost hate myself a little bit for including Price, Richmond, and Bogues, who were all probably decent guys who were acquired at the wrong time or for the wrong reasons. Maybe I should have included Randy Foye, Mike Miller, and Peter John Ramos. There's just so much to choose from... I'm sure I'm forgetting some great examples of Bullets/Wizards history.

4 in, 1 out offense:
C: Gheorghe Mureșan
PF: Manute Bol
SF: Ralph Sampson
SG: Peter John Ramos
PG: Muggsy Bogues

All 5' 8" and under:
C: Willie Somerset (1965-66)
PF: Herm Klotz (1947-48 and the shortest player to win an NBA championship)
SF: Greg Grant (1995-96)
SG: Earl Boykins (2009-10)
PG: Muggsy Bogues (1987-89)

Thanks, Wikipedia.

Name-dropper. Herm "Red" Klotz is 93 years old. If Abe were alive, it'd be a birthday cake opportunity.

Riordan was fun to watch him play defense.

What do they all have in common?

Each and everyone one of them, at some point when they showed a small glimmer of actual NBA skills/focus/aptitude, were praised by Steve Buckhantz as the second coming of George Mikan.

Sadly, Wikipedia says Red passed away in 2014.

All I know is that if there are no rules, C-Webb never got traded and he's on my team.
