A Little Bit Of Fun....

[WoobieZarz]

Was thinking about this earlier today...

If you could EVER pick a dream starting 5... Who would you pick...

Stipulations:You CAN'T pick someone who's been picked already.
You CAN pick someone to play a secondary position.
Give a short reason why you chose these players...


Here's mine:

PG - Jason Kidd
In my mind the greatest PG of all-time
SG - Michael Jordan
The best there ever was
SF - Oscar Robertson
The Big O, Mr Do-It-All. Almost Averaged 23pts, 8 rebs, and 7 dimes for his career. Not many other better SFs can do that. (that and he averaged a 3D for a WHOLE SEASON).
PF - Dirk Nowitzki
It was a toss-up between Dirkinator, and Sir Charles Barkley. Chuck was a MACHINE, but his shooting was never great, he just scored inside.
C - Wilt Chamberlain
No doubt the Best C EVER seen? Actually, I was almost gonna pick The Dream, Hakeem Olajuwon.
100 Points in a single game, dunk on anyone, average 20+ Rebounds, and almost 50 points... HAS to get him on my team.

So come on guys, this'll be fun, but remember, can't pick someone already picked.

PG Steve Nash - The best. Period.
SG Tracy McGrady - When healthy, nearly unstoppable.
SF Scottie Pippen - At his prime, was an offensive/defensive weapon.
PF Dwight Howard - So young, so talented..
C Shaquille O'Neal - Next to Wilt, the most dominant guy to have ever played.

WTF - You ask us to pick a starting 5, pick Jordan and then say we can't pick someone who has already been picked ! Come on man Jordan is a starter for 99% of the people here ! Not to mention you picked Wilt as well

bird,jordan and wilt have been taken

Yup that's how I felt !

 

[nvd001]

Stockton - All time assist leader, may never be surpassed!!
Pistol Pete Maravich (RIP) - 24ppg, 5apg, 4rpg. perhaps was the beginning of the 'stylish' way the game is played today. Plus he died playing the game...that deserves some respect
Kareem - ...and a hook shot!! his Longevity in the game. if jordan and malone cant reach his scoring record...noone will!!
Ewing - 1 of many unlucky players to have played during Jordans era. Loved the old school Knicks v Bulls games!! they were intense!!
Bill Russell - 11 rings....count em'...11!!! :shock:

Whinge whinge whinge.... Can't anyone participate without f-ckin crying these days?

Pissoff if you're not gonna participate.

There's still some MASSIVE teams there, and plenty of other players to pick...

EDIT: And besides, if you were playing a Fantasy Roster on Live or 2K, you couldnt pick someone already gone....

Here's mine to give you all a run. All members of the stolen generation.
Smits
Barkley
Wilkins
Starks
Miller

 

[33WING]

I'll have to swap Starks for Miller to contain the man himself (MJ).
