This is how I see it.

KG + Shaq > Duncan + Wilt
MJ = MJ (obviously)
Curry + Kobe < Lebron + Magic

The only argument I can see (possibly haha) is that your team is slightly better because the difference between Lebron/Magic versus Curry/Kobe is larger than the difference between KG/Shaq versus Duncan/Wilt.

But no way is your team going to destroy or crush mine.

To each his own. But I see my team as more balanced. I also strongly disagree that KG and Shaq are better than Duncan and Wilt. In fact, I would take Duncan over KG and Wilt over Shaq. I know you are too young to have watched Wilt but he was by far a better athlete than Shaq. A complete beast who was incredibly fast when he was young and as strong or stronger than Shaq.

And.. as much as I hate to admit it. A team without Magic as PG cant be considered the best . He was just better than everyone else.

This is a tough team to beat.

Especially with my 6th man, Luke Walton.

I think a backcourt of magic and klay is better than curry and jordan.

Honestly i would not have jordan on the team. The best player does not make a team the best. I do not want a player who needs the ball like harden and westbrook or jordan and kobe.

If i can have lebron at the 1, he is it. If not it is magic.
2 klay thompson
3 (lebron=rodman) (magic=reggie)
4 hakeem olajuwon
5 wilt chamberlain

Today (no durant or klay due to injury)

Ben simmons
Kawhi leonard
Jayson tatum
Giannis antetokounmbo
Andre drummond

I love defense and rebounds. With both line-ups i have more length and multiple rebounders. And 2 great shooters.

When my length forces your bad shot, and nabs the board. Then on the other end get 3 chances to put it in and drawing fouls. This team may have a lower shooting percentage than the league average, but will have more 3rd chances than opponents 2nd chances.

Also why shag is not on my list, hakeem and wilt could guard him as well as anybody while forcing him out of the paint on the other end.

Jordan was the best offensive player on the court every time he played. He was the best defensive player every time he played. He won 6 titles. Not sure what more you want from him. He is the GOAT and there isnt a basketball expert alive who wouldnt put him on his or her 1st team.
