JORDAN AND LEBRON
LEBRON AND JORDAN
The Saga Continues.
How would you guys build a team around these two?
Well for staters...I don't think the likes of Magic and Bird would make this team.
LeBron would be the point forward who is capable of creating/facilitating and scoring at will. He'll be running the plays.
How does this starting 5 sound?
(C) OLAJUWON - I was tempted to go with Shaq, just the thought of LeBron and Shaq running pick and rolls is scary and mouth watering, but Olajuwon was a better rim protector, defender, and had a jump shot. In other words, he wouldn't clog-up the lane as much.
(PF) DIRK - Mr. Stretch-4 himself! He is quite arguably the shooting 7-footer in the history of the NBA. He will stretch the floor, which in return will enable James and or Jordan to attack the rim. Also, Olajuwon is no stranger to the stretch-4 formation. The Rockets basically invented the stretch-4 position. Why not Durant? He's played as a SF for almost his entire career, I think Dirk deserves it the most.
(SF) JAMES - No explanation needed. Superb vision.
(
SG) JORDAN - GOAT, enough said. Superb mid-range shooting skills.
(PG) CURRY - The greatest shooter of all-time who possesses great handling skills and vision.
History tells us that you have to surround James with great shooters. Dirk and Curry are two of the very best at that. Jordan's mid-range game was simply sublime and he could create his own shot and LeBron is a decent 3pt shooter nowadays. Essentially, four shooters are surrounding Olajuwon.
Defensively, Olajuwon, Jordan, and LeBron are 3 of the best defenders of all-time. Curry and Dirk were not so great defensively but something has to give.
What would you guys change?
