OT- Basketball all team, OB,IG,EIO.

[EagleFanInMD]

So got into discussions today at work, if you were to pick a
1st team all Basketball, who would you pick.
I went with
C-Wilt Chamberlin, but Bill Russell was on my mind
F-Carl Malone
F-Larry Bird
G-MJ
G-Oscar Robertson

Its tough to pick,my bench would be-(next best) -Isah Thomas,Reggie Miller,Juluis Erving,Kareem.
This could become a long debate ,Frazier,.Pippen,Bryant,Shaq, Stockton, Duncan, Robinson, etc.

PG- Magic
SG- MJ
SF-LeBron
PF- Bird (Know he isn't a PF but he could hold his own)
C- Wilt

Duncan to back up bird.... Oscar Robertson off the bench, Iverson off the bench, Shaq off the bench

[Irish George]

kareem over Wilt?

insane

[Overbrook]

Children......what do you expect?

insane

Ps....I like your choices, but I need Magic in there. I'd probably remove Baylor and use Magic. After all, the guy may be a guard, but he was good enough to beat us as a center.

[Eagle In Ohio]

Hey , what can I say

insane

I'm a sucker for the sky hook

[Overbrook]

Really? Was it the sky hook.......

I'm a sucker for the sky hook

Or the goggles?

[Eagle In Ohio]

Actually

It was his role in Airplane that got me

[Irish George]

I have Magic in there as a guard

Ps....I like your choices, but I need Magic in there. I'd probably remove Baylor and use Magic. After all, the guy may be a guard, but he was good enough to beat us as a center.

Baylor was Dr. J before national TV contracts. Wilt and LeBron would give him all kinds of room to create. I would go to war with that front line against anyone.

[Irish George]

Kareem wouldn't even be my second string center

I will take a healthy Bill Walton as my backup to Wilt. Tougher defensively and much better moves and the best passing center I ever saw.

Check out how many rule changes

were made to stifle Wilt's dominance and get back to us.
