    If every NBA player was in his prime right now . . .

    . . . then which team would be the best in the NBA. This is assuming every player was playing in their prime or playing in their best season (if they haven't reached their prime yet).

    So basically, the Suns would be exactly like they are now because this is basically the best individual seasons for all the players.

    The Rockets would be pretty good. You've got T-mac, Yao, and then add in a defensive monstor in Mutumbo.

    The Pistons would have 20+ scorers in Coleman and McDyess.

    The Celtics would have Gary Payton in the backcourt with Pierce, and Walker who was a Triple Double threat in his prime.

    But if I had to pick, it would be the Heat, who would have Shaq, Zo, Laettner, Eddie Jones, along with Dwayne Wade. That's a scary line-up.

    PG: Dwyane Wade (2005) - 23.7 ppg, 7.1 apg, 5.3 rpg
    SG: Eddie Jones (2000) - 20.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.7 spg
    SF: Steve Smith (1994) - 17.3 ppg, 5.1 apg, 4.5 rpg
    PF: Alonzo Mourning (1996) - 23.2 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 2.7 bpg
    C: Shaquille O'Neal (2000) - 29.7 ppg, 13.6 rpg, 3.0 bpg
    -----------------------
    PF: Christian Laettner (1993) - 18.2 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 1.3 spg

        Pacers would be nice with Reggie, Dale Davis, and Croshere at their best
        Blazers: Stoudamire, Van Exel, SAR, Z-Bo, Theo, Derek Anderson
        Mavericks: Dirk, Darrell Armstrong, Jerry Stackhouse, KVH, Jason Terry, Alan Henderson, Finley, Dampier
        If they played as a team Lakers: Kobe, Butler, Odom, Grant, Divac
        Miami, as you listed.
        Minnesota: KG, Cassell, Hudson, Szcerzbajbadiack, Spree, Ervin Johnson, Kandi Man
        New York (surprisingly good): Penny, Allan Houston, Starbury, Kurt Thomas, Jerome Williams, Tim Thomas, Malik Rose
        Houston: Vin Baker, Dikembe, Clarence (18 ppg in his prime! WTF!) Weatherspoon, Juwan Howard, David Wesley, TMac, Yao, (Patrick Ewing coming off the bench lol)
        Magic: Stacey Augmon, Grant Hill, Steve Francis, Hedo Turkoglu, Pat Garrity
        Sixers: Mashburn, Rodney Rogers (15 ppg), Iverson, Webber, Korver, Iguodala
        Kings: Peja, Bibby, BJackson, Brad Miller, Corliss Williamson, Kenny Thomas, Cuttino Mobley
        Raptors: Alvin Williams, Donyell Marshall, Jalen Rose, Eric Williams, MoPete, Lamond Murray (He was nice back in the day)


        Wow. Most of these teams just have a helluva lot of money to be overpaying these old bums.

            the rockets would be the scariest i think,

            we dont know what yao's prime is or tmac, tmac has scored 32 points in a season before and i dont think he has hit his prime yet, then you got ward, sura, wesley, barry, weatherspoon, mutombo!!!, howard, alot of threats, houston is the scariest to me, if not them the lakers from last year you got three great players, malone shaq and payton
