I think the Lakers may be stronger in the starting 5, I think the Celtics bench carries them past anyone else. Note: I never liked the Celtics.

and to be honest, i believe Kobe would beat West in game of 1-n-1. West was a helluva player, but im not sure he is as successful now with all the athleticism and length in the NBA.

but **** what a team. tis like an all-time yankee team, nobody could beat that Laker team, possibly a Boston team with Parrish, Garnett, Bird, Pierce, and Cousy but I would still favor LA

Wilt was so dang athletic. Much more so than KAJ is why I put him at the 4. Remember he was an NCAA track champion who could even matchup with todays big 4s like Dirk more than likely who play outside. I agree Kobe beats West 1 on 1. It really came down to, do I want West at 2, Kobe at 3, or Kobe at 2, Worthy at 3. I gave the edge to the logo for that situation, but I am fine with either.


Gotch, that Celtics team would be great, but the Lakers would be just a deep.

Bench:
James Worthy
George Mikan
Shaquille O'Neal
Elgin Baylor
Gail Goodrich
Jamaal Wilkes

It sure would be fun to watch will all in their prime.

**** how did I forget Bill Russell?!?!?!?!!? ****

but any all time boston teams needs Garnett, because he is better than McHale IMO

hell in just five on five, its not as if the Spurs would be totally outmatched.
a real game with reserves and stuff would kill them, and they aernt quite LA or BOS, but itd be tough to beat the dynamic inside duo with the outside scoring of Gervin and Robertson

I think because KAJ had a nice touch,he could be more dynamic at the 4 with Wilt being a dominant monster inside

Celtics:

Russell
Havlicek
Bird
Sam Jones
Pierce
Pistol Pete - yes he was a celtic for a short time, so I can throw him in there.
Cousy
Ray Allen
DJ
Parish - even though he played like 50 years.
Mchale
Archibald

Those are every bit as good as any LA team.

Braves:

C - Del Crandell
1B - Bob Horner
2B - Mark Lemke
SS - Herman Long
3B - Eddie Mathews
RF - Dale Murphy
CF - Andruw Jones
LF - Hank Aaron

Pitchers are hard to call, and I am not touching relievers:

Maddux, Smoltz, Spahn, Niekro and Glavine would be my 5 man rotation.


Had some close calls at a couple of positions. At catcher, I just couldn't put McCann yet, but probably will long term if he stays healthy. Also Joe Torre and Javy Lopez were about put there. I couldn't put someone who just played one year for the Braves, so I kicked out Rogers Hornsby, and gave the Lemmer and edge over Glenn Hubbard.

just look at the depth LAL has.

Magic
Kobe
Worthy
KAJ
Wilt

with Shaq, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Mikan, etc...

too many HOFers, its nuts

Shaq can be a Celtic too, those Celtics are chalked full of HOFers too.

My Braves (im nowhere near as familiar as Stripes is)

C-Joe Torre
1B-Fred McGriff (CRIME DOG B*TCHES)
2B-i have no idea. Lemke is basically all I know
3B-Eddie Matthews
SS-Rabbit Maranville
LF-Dale Murphy
CF-Andruw Jones (as a young guy, best defense since Mays)
RF-Some guy named Henry, Harvey, something like that

SP-Spahn
SP-Maddux
SP-Smotlz before 99
SP-Glavine
SP-Niekro

RP-John Rocker hehh

RP-Mike Stanton
RP-John Smoltz after 99
