[Bruce Dickinson]

Cavaliers

C Brad Daugherty

F Larry Nance

F LeBron James

G World B Free

G Mark Price

Fairly straightforward, other than figuring out who the second forward would be behind Nance.

 

[SWC]

because he had a crazy as name world b free is thought of now as a punchline but that brohan was actually really good and is underrated take that to the bank

 

[Mister CIA]

PG: Tony Parker

SG: George Gervin

C: David Robinson

PF: Tim Duncan

SF: Bowen/Silas/Ginobli/Kenon

Sean Elliot at SF

I love Elliot, but I'll take Bowen's defense/corner 3

While he's a dirtbag off the court, in his prime Alvin Robertson was really, really good. Quadruple double w/ 10 steals

Johnny Moore was no slouch either. Until Parker came along Moore was easily the best PG in franchise history.

That guy could shoot.

 

[Jayrod]

Which franchises have the best starting fives?

Celtics & Lakers are pretty obvious. I think Philly and San Antonio are right there with them. After that, the Bulls, Knicks, Rockets & Bucks, although each of them have a weak spot.

what do you view as the bucks weak spot brohan take that to the peaked my curiosuty bank bromigo

That don't have an all time great at either forward spot. That's tough when looking at the forwards on the top four.

 

[Abraham]

Calvin Murphy

James harden

TMac

Hakeem

Moses

That's pretty good.

 

[Frostillicus]

I'm assuming Towns will be on the Minnesota all-time team.

 

[Frostillicus]

TIMBERWOLVES

C Karl Anthony Towns

F Kevin Garnett

F Tom Gugliotta

G Doug West

G Stephon Marbury

Dammit!

TMac

Hakeem

Moses

That's pretty good.

can houston claim harden after 2 years?

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

TIMBERWOLVES

C Karl Anthony Towns

F Kevin Garnett

F Tom Gugliotta

G Doug West

G Stephon Marbury

Dammit!

BOOM!Can't ####### believe I left Bobby Jackson off the list, though.

ETA: almost put Wiggins on the first team, but I loved watching Gugliotta shoot. That play where Marbury would start on the left point, take a pick from Gugliotta,, then go through another pick at the high post, then toss it back across the court to Gugs for a wide-open 18-footer was the most amazing Flip Saunders creation: all that work and risk for a midrange jumper.

 

[Frostillicus]

FIRST TEAM:

PG - Hot Sauce

SG - Skip 2 My Lou

SF - Main Event

PF - Black Widow

C - Prime Objective

SECOND TEAM

PG - The Professor

SG - Bad Santa

SF - AO

PF - Half Man Half Amazing

C - Escalade (or 50)

 

[Vanilla Guerrilla]

Sam Cassell

Latrell Sprewell

Wally Szerbiack

Rasho Nestrovich

Michael Olowocandy

Not sure how we can leave Joe Smith off the list. We gave up like 10 picks for him.

And maybe Luc Longley or Sean Rooks because he kind of looked like Homer Simpson.

 

[SWC]

professor not being a first teamer is bs brohan

 

[Frostillicus]

professor not being a first teamer is bs brohan

Killed me to keep him off, but can you really put him over Hot Sauce and Skip?

 

[Frostillicus]

Related: Anyone else remember that streetball reality competition on MTV that was hosted by Magic Johnson? Would have been like 2000-2001. White Chocolate (not that one) won.

he was the whole reason to watch he made people look silly hot sauce is the best but i do not think skip to my lou was better then professor brohan

Starting Five Darryl Dawkins Dunk Names

C: Chocolate-Thunder-Flying, Robinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking, Glass-Breaking, Rump-Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam, Glass-Breaker-I-Am-Jam

F: Turbo Sexophonic Delight

F: Look Out Below

G: Coast-To-Coast Greyhound Special

G: Dunk You Very Much

Second Team

C: In-Your-Face Disgrace

F: Yo-Mama

F: Walk Away From Love

G: Earthquaker Shaker

G: Spine Chiller Supreme

Third Team

C: If It Ain't Groovin You Best Get Movin

F: Slam Bam Thank You Ma'am

F: Candyslam

G: Go-Rilla

G: Rim-Wrecker

Pretty sure this one should be 1st or 2nd team.

Yeah, that was a pretty bad oversight on my part. That should be a first-team forward next to Turbo Sexophonic Delight. I think I slotted it there thinking these dunks had actual positions, but I abandoned that premise.

Look Out Below to 2nd team, Walk Away From Love to 3rd team.

Late in Double D's career when he showed up out of shape for Detroit Pistons training camp, Pistons GM Jack McKinney joked, "There must not be any exercise bicycles or Nautilus machines on Planet Lovetron".

listen here tryhall i appreciate that you only have seven posts but this is way to serious brohan we are the point where we are ranking the guys from streetball the globetrotters and doing dawkindunk talk for post eight i expect you to step it up take that to the bank short

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

BDL's Pistons Starting Five is up:

C Bob Lanier

F: Grant Hill

F: Rasheed Wallace

G: Dave Bing

G: Isiah Thomas

Even understanding full well that Rasheed is the inspiration for BDL's name, hard to justify putting Sheed ahead of Rodman here.

Lanier was a better player than Bill Laimbeer by a mile, but Laimbeer is the one who dominates the Pistons' career leaders charts in the big man categories.

Dave Bing v Joe Dumars is an interesting argument. I would have picked Bing, but after comparing the two on paper, it should have been a tougher decision than I thought it was.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Nuggets...

G: Allen Iverson (He was better than people probably remember in his two Denver years)

G: David Thompson

F: Carmelo Anthony

F: Alex English

C: Dan Issel

G: Fat Lever (based on entire Nuggets career, should be first team ahead of Iverson)

G: Chauncey Billups

F: Antonio McDyess

F: Kiki Vandeweghe

C: Dikembe Mutombo

G: Ty Lawson

G:Bobby Jones

F: Kenyon Martin

F: Nene

C: Marcus Camby

oh come on, 2 years of Iverson isn't one of the two greatest guards in Nuggets history.

Yeah, putting these short timers on your all time team is dumb.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

whoa, 2 Lowe Posts up.

Mark Cuban and Stan Van.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

PG: Van Exel

SG: Diogu (actually true)

The Pistons are very guard heavy. You could argue for 4 guards in a positionless top 5 (Isiah, Dumars, Bing and Billups).

Lanier's probably the best center, but Laimbeer and Ben Wallace were both iconic players for Pistons title teams.

Seems hard to justify Sheed over Rodman or even DeBusschere. George Yardley could also be in the mix if you're willing to go way way back.

[Fennis]

Anyone heard from Kobe? Anyone?

I'm not much an NBA fan and this is my first post in this thread. I am in LA for a long weekend.

Anyway, I was driving on 405 North today and around 6:45 I looked at the big, black SUV to my left. Driving the SUV was Kobe. Although, I didn't hear from him, to answer the thread title, I am pretty sure I saw him.

Have you seen Billy Madison?

BDL's Kings/Royals

C Vlade Divac

F Chris Webber

F Peja Stoyakovic

G Nate Archibald

G Oscar Robertson

No mention that Vlade v Boogie was even a battle. Credited Vlade with the culture change that led to SAC's success in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Gave Tiny the nod over Richmond because Archibald led the league in scoring and assists in the same season in an era when perimeter defenders could get handsy.

Also gave shout-outs to Jack Twyman and Maurice Stokes.

 

[thecatch]

Jason Thompson to the Warriors for Gerald Wallace. That's going to go under the radar but I think he will turn out to be a very nice pick up for Golden State.

Whats going to sting is when Aldridge retires identifying himself as a Spur.

George Mikan

First out from recent players: Reggie Miller, Dennis Rodman, Chris Webber, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady

First out from old timers: Nate Thurmond, Dave Debusschere, Hal Greer, Billy Cunningham, Bernard King, Robert Parish

Any glaring omissions?

Great job on the list.Nitpicking: I would put Bernard King back in over Dennis Johnson, Ray Allen, and Chris Paul. The homer in me wants to add Chris Mullin too.

Cowens doesn't seem like a top 50 player. Elvin Hayes and perhaps McAdoo were better. Or pick a player at another position.

His source material is the Pyramid section of The Book Of Basketball by Bill Simmons. He gave a few powerups to his favorite Lakers and adjusted for events that took place after the book was published, but Cowens is so high because he was the Celtics' franchise player when Simmons first started following the Celtics closely.

Question for the more historically knowledgable (older) than me: Why does a guy like James Worthy get so much love on these lists compared to someone like Paul Pierce - who always seems to be on the fringe?

Was Worthy ever even a lead player? Pierce unquestionably was. I mean, he was alongside Kareem AND Magic for most of his run, right? Along with a generally loaded roster in an era where you could just load up and keep the team in place.

Not trying to pick on a guy with a beard and glasses, just curious. I was too young to really remember the first half of his career at all and I didn't really think about this kind of stuff when I was a kid watching.

Other thought: Where would a guy like Joe Johnson fit in a list like this? Great numbers over a long stretch, but really limited team success in the playoffs.

 

[Britney Spears]

Ok let's do this - Sonics:

G Gary Payton

G Ray Allen

F Kevin Durant

F Shawn Kemp

C Jack Skima

Pretty sure most of these guys are no brainers. Lot of interesting options for second team:

G Dale Ellis

G Fred Brown

F Detlef Schrempf

F Rashard Lewis

C Not a lot - Derrick McKey?

PS, as a side note, it seems like a ton of players played for both the Bucks and Sonics.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Jason Thompson to the Warriors for Gerald Wallace. That's going to go under the radar but I think he will turn out to be a very nice pick up for Golden State.

Sixers getting the right to swap the lesser of the OKC or MIA picks for GS' 2016 pick seems mean. Seems like they're hoping for the worst.
