[HouRealCoach]

*Everyone is in the prime of their career*

Shaq/ Grant
Malone/ Cook
Fox/ George
Kobe/ Russell
Payton/ Fisher

Coach: Phil Jackson

Shaq/ J. O'Neal
KG/ Davis/ Murphy
Pierce/ Green
Allen/ Daniels
Rondo/ West

Just in case many of you forgot.. Jermaine O'Neal, Troy Murphy, Horace Grant, Bryon Russell were all pretty good in their prime lol

your right jb but its both shaqs in their prime so its a wash

[JesusNYY_Savior]

Lakers easily even tho prime KG was a force to be reckoned with

[dee85]

I would slightly have to go with the 2004 Lakers.

[Greedy22]

uhh the lakers quite easily...a prime mailman and prime glove with Kobe and Shaq?

[LakersMaster24]

Can you even imagine that defense?

Malone
Payton
Shaq (when focused)
Kobe

AND Bryon Russell.

That is a defensive nightmare. They would hold teams under 80 points.

Yeah but prime Shaq never played for the Celtics.

It's like saying prime Hakeem on the Raptors. The players had to be relatively still allstar level for logic like this to work. What sense does it make to say a team had someone in there absolute prime when they were probably the 5th best guy on that team?

[Raps08-09 Champ]

I think Lakers would win because of the defense.

JB it's called an imagination... You know the same imagination you use when you ask would we rather have CP3 & Durant or Melo & Wade? We know they never played on the same team but we use our imagination to determine which would be better... We know these players weren't all in their prime but we use our imaginations to determine which squad we THINK would be better

How is this so hard to understand for you and not others?
