What team is the best?

Postby 3Peatkb24 » Sun Aug 21, 2016 11:23 pm

60's
PG Oscar Robertson
SG Jerry West
SF Elgin Baylor
PF Bill Russell (would put him at PF, Wilt is the Center)
C Wilt Chamberlain

70's
PG Walt Frazier
SG John Havlicek
SF Rick Barry
PF Elvin Hayes
C Willis Reed (1970 was his best season, he belongs on this team. I have Kareem on the 80's team) Reed's Knicks won 2 Titles this decade 70 and 73.

80's
PG Magic Johnson
SG Isiah Thomas (would put him at SG, Magic is the PG)
SF Julius Erving (Magic to early 80's Julius on the break would be scary and fun to watch)
PF Larry Bird (would put him at PF and Erving at SF) Talk about a stretch 4, he Rebounds like a PF as well!
C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

90's
PG John Stockton
SG Michael Jordan
SF Charles Barkley (would put him here at SF, Malone is the PF)
PF Karl Malone
C Hakeem Olajuwon

2000's 2000-2009
PG Allen Iverson
SG Dwyane Wade - Was at his best this decade, especially midway through the decade/2006
SF Kobe Bryant (would put him here at SF, Wade is smaller so I would put him at SG)
PF Tim Duncan
C Shaq O'Neal

2010's - 2016
PG Russell Westbrook
SG Steph Curry (would put him here at SG, Westbrook would run the point as he is more athletic and Curry is the deadly shooter)
SF Kevin Durant
PF LeBron James (would put him here at PF, Durant would be the SF) LeBron has won all 3 of his Titles after 2010 so he belongs in this decade.
C Anthony Davis

If I was creating a video game I would have 7 guys per Roster in each decade so you could sub and have a rotation. 1 Big and 1 guy that can either play PG, SG, SF coming off the bench! Here are the Rosters:
60's
PG Oscar Robertson - Played his best ball in the 60's eventhough he won his only Title in the 70's.
SG Jerry West - Played his best ball in the 60's eventhough he won his only Title in the 70's.
SF Elgin Baylor
PF Bill Russell - I have him at PF, Wilt would be my Center.
C Wilt Chamberlain
Bench:
PF/C Bob Pettit
PG Bob Cousy - Can also play SG.
*Head Coach - Red Auerbach

70's
PG Walt Frazier
SG John Havlicek
SF Rick Barry
PF Elvin Hayes
C Willis Reed - He belongs on this decade team, his best season was 1970. I put Kareem on the 80's.
Bench:
C Bill Walton
PG/SG Pete Maravich
*Head Coach - Lenny Wilkens

80's
PG Magic Johnson
SG Isiah Thomas - PG is his natural position but he can play either SG or PG, Magic is my Point!
SF Julius Erving
PF Larry Bird - Can play SF or PF, nice stretch 4 huh? He Rebounds like a PF but his natural position is SF.
C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - Was a part of 5 Titles this decade and he did win a League MVP in 1980 as well.
Bench:
C Moses Malone
SF James Worthy
*Head Coach - Pat Riley
-With this team I could play Julius at SG if I had too, he played that position some toward the end of his career.

90's
PG John Stockton
SG Michael Jordan
SF Charles Barkley - Can play SF or PF.
PF Karl Malone
C Hakeem Olajuwon
Bench:
C David Robinson
SF Scottie Pippen - He is like a Point Forward and could play the 1,2 or 3.
*Head Coach - Phil Jackson

2000's 2000-2009
PG Allen Iverson
SG Dwyane Wade - Was at his best this decade, especially 2005 and 2006.
SF Kobe Bryant - Can play SF, Wade is smaller so I put Mamba here.
PF Tim Duncan
C Shaquille O'Neal
Bench:
PF Dirk Nowitzki - He is hell of a floor stretcher off the bench! I put Dirk in this decade eventhough he won his only Title in 2011.
PG Jason Kidd - Could play SG if need be.
*Head Coach - Greg Popovich

2010's 2010-2016
PG Russell Westbrook - He is more athletic than Curry so he would run my PG position.
SG Steph Curry - I would start him at SG, he is a deadly shooter.
SF Kevin Durant
PF LeBron James - I would start him as my Point PF, he could play the 3 or 4. SF is his natural position though. LeBron belongs in this decade as he has won all 3 of his Titles in this decade + 3 of his League MVP's in this decade as well.
C Anthony Davis
Bench:
C/PF DeMarcus Cousins
SF/SG Paul George
*Head Coach - Steve Kerr

All right guys I revamped this, now pick your poison!

I added 2 backups for fun and listed a HeadCoach for each team. All of these teams are stacked. I am an 80's guy so probably would go 80's but the 2000's with Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Wade, and then Dirk coming off the bench looks like a machine!

-I was bored last night and was thinking about our old all-time Draft so I posted all-decade teams for fun. I could've went more than 7 players for each team but didn't want to overkill it.

Given enough catch-up time and practice (PRACTICE??? WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT PRACTICE??), the 60s squad would be a BEAST to contend with. Unfortunately, as much as "We Love The 80s", your 80s team as constructed wouldn't last -- not enough height, size and defense.
