I'll take Stockton, Drexler, Durant, Dirk, Shaq.

This leaves cap space for Frazier, Wade, Pippen, Garnett, and Hakeem on my bench.

 
Magic - Oscar's a consideration here, after those two it drops off big time. Have to take Magic.

Jordan - An absolute must, the largest positional gap between 1 and 2 out of any of these.

Pippen - Outside of Lebron, this guy gives me the best defense out of this group and meshes with Jordan perfectly. A gigantic steal at $1.

Garnett - Again, a steal at $1. Would rather have this guy and his defense/versatility than Dirk, I rank this guy pretty close to Duncan personally. Came into the league as a small forward and can guard many positions. Going to fit in incredibly defensively with my Jordan/Pippen combination. Along with Pippen this gives me two guys that once lead their teams in Points, Rebounts, Assists, Steals, and Blocks.

Wilt - Will again be a defensive wizard that fits in perfectly with Jordan/Pippen/Garnett. And he can score a little, too.

This team is going to be able to roam all over the place and disrupt anything you can throw at them. You stand no chance against this defense. And they can score pretty well, too.

6th Man - Rodman

Scoring can come from anybody on this team. Speed in the back court as well as transition finishers. Top defenders down low but can also score. Coming off the bench a guy who can play/defend the 3-5 positions. Can't go wrong.

Jordan is a must have for me.

I think Hakeem offers the best value of anyone.

Pippen has great defense and pairs well with Jordan.

Duncan is a winner and also leaves me with $5 to get Magic.

Magic

Jordan

Pippen

Duncan

Hakeem

 
Stockton, Jordan, Pippen, Duncan, Wilt

Wilt is a no-brainer for me, and as others have mentioned the VBD value of Jordan is too good to pass up. From there it's just picking the players will function the best in supporting roles.

I end up with $1 left. Thought about swapping Pippen for Durant to improve outside shooting/floor spacing but I'd rather have the defense.

 
Need four people that want to do a quick realtime draft of these players right now.

2.

3.

4.

5.

ETA: This will only work if everybody's team comes out to exactly $25. You can't have a $24 team or someone else won't be able to fill his roster.

First three are easy.

Almost have to go Bird or Durant at SF, since there are no real shooters anywhere else. Dirk, maybe, but then you have to pass on Duncan, who is the only slam-dunk GOAT at his position available for three bucks. Bird, being an absolutely elite bomber makes him the only choice. Duncan, as mentioned. And Jordan, because with all these amazing penetrators and slashers, you need a lockdown wing defender. There are only three of those, and the 3-point need at SF means it has to be Jordan, since taking Bird eliminates LeBron and Pippen.

That leaves three bucks for PG/C, and I take Stockton/Dream over Frazier/Shaq. Stockton may be the best pure feeder on the PG list, and with this many talented scorers all over the half court, that's what you want. Magic is in contention for that title, but at five bucks, he doesn't give you more than twice the assist bang. He brings more offense, but the last thing you want on this offense is a PG hogging the ball anyway.

I prefer Dream to Shaq anyway, since with so many legends playing in your presumed league, you don't want is a C who can't be on the court in crunch time.

So:

Stockton

Jordan

Bird

Duncan

Dream

OK, screw it, if nobody signs up in the next two minutes we'll run it with four drafters. The five players left over at the end of the draft will comprise team #5.

  1. Homer J Simpson
  2. Freelove
  3. Abraham
