What would the Ultimate Dream Team look like?

[rocketfuel]

If the 92 Dream team were suddenly open to accept players from any generation to build the ultimate dream team....what would it look like? I imagine they would be able to have:

A starter unit
A fastbreak unit
all defensive unit


I'm guessing that Jordan would be on it.

Bird, Scottie Pippen, Kareem, Shaq or Hakeem..
maybe some shooters like Reggie Miller.

Some great players styles don't always fit together..... and maybe some super sub role players like Dennis rodman or Robert Horry could be in?

I don't know, but give my Jordan, Pippen and Russell, and I'm pretty much set.

PG and PF would have to work with/around those three. 6th man would be Kevin McHale.

[rocketfuel]

That is quite a defensive trio. Probably could shut down quite a few teams.

Personally? Only American Players? 12 man roster?

Not just going 100% top 10 players in the game my team would be...

Stockton/Payton
MJ/Reggie
Pippen/Kobe
Bird/Lebron(primary ball handler)
Kareem/Shaq


Duncan (big that can effectively play both spots) and Rodman (situational defensive specialist that can guard any position)

In reality though it'd look a lot like

Stockton/Payton/Lebron/MJ/Kobe
MJ/Reggie/Kobe/Pippen/Payton
Pippen/Kobe/Lebron/Bird/Rodman
Bird/Lebron/Duncan/Rodman/Pippen
Kareem/Shaq/Duncan/Rodman


I valued versatility a lot in my team.

if they are all the same age or in their prime.. id go with:

Magic/Payton/[Big O or Stockton]
Jordan/ Kobe/ Wade
LeBron/ Bird/ Pippen
Duncan/ Malone/ Barkley
Kareem/ Russell/ Shaq

good luck scoring.

I'd definitely want Magic, Jordan and Hakeem in my starting unit. At the forward spots, I'm thinking Bird and Lebron. That's a phenomenal offensive and defensive squad who could do pretty much anything on the floor. Or you could put Hakeem at the 4 and Shaq at the 5 with Lebron coming off the bench as an insanely versatile sixth man. I'd stock my bench with shooters and defenders. I'm thinking Kareem, Russell, Duncan and Rodman at the big spots (maybe Dirk if I wanted range at the 4) with Pippen, Allen, Reggie and West at the wing spots and Oscar and Stockton at point.

Full court press teams couldn't even get pass half court. Game would be over in 2 mins.

Not to mention you could also go with a line up of

Wade
Kobe
Jordan
Lebron
Shaq

Lebron as the primary ball handler. That Line up is unstoppable. If all players are in there prime their also unguardable. Wade and Lebron are a problem. So was shaq and Kobe imagine together and add MJ into the mix.

yup you could basically set yourself up in countless ways. inside-out, playmaking, attacking the rim, post fade aways, etc. i see no weakness.

If you were going to have the fastest high flying fast break unit, what would that look like? Would Shawn Kemp and Dominique Wilkens make the cut?


Jordan/Reggie Miller/Bird/ power forward/Kareem

great spacing with great 3 point shooters along with a great shooting big man, plus the greatest player to every play the game.

[DreamShaker]

Hakeem
Karl Malone
Bird
MJ
Magic

Bench:
Pippen
Charles Barkley
Stockton
Duncan
Ray Allen
Dwayne Wade
David Robinson

5 jordans lol

rose
jordan
pippen
tim duncan
yao ming
oh and give me popavich as our coach

[Dade County]

Pg Lbj
Sg Jordan
sf KD ( His my 3 point assassin )
Pf Timmy
C The Dream ( I would have said Shaq but, I wanted both of my bigs to have that mid rage game, to space the floor ).
Talk about defense and skill set!

Jordan and KD pure scores... Lbj at the point, totally devastating with the way he can see over the defense and get the ball where it needs to go ( they have to double him or it's an easy score )... Timmy and the Dream, pic & pop, back to the basket, face you up, mind range game, blocking shots, I mean damn!

[conway429]

PG Magic / Stockton / Payton
SG MJ / Kobe / Ray Allen
SF LeBron / Pippen
PF Duncan / Bird
C Hakeem / Shaq

[sp1derm00]

PG: Lebron/Payton
SG: Jordan/Kobe
SF: Pippen/Bird
PF: Durant/Duncan
C: Hakeem/Shaq

1st unit would wreak havoc, causing tons of turnovers and would be absolutely unstoppable on fast breaks. Second unit would be a grind it out, punish you in the post(with any player on the roster, even Payton).
