PKM's case:
I stacked my team with guys that are big for their position (or plays much bigger than their size with Rodman), BIG time scorers, HUGE rebounders, and some great perimeter shooting (2 hitting at 42%+).
My team's motto is to outscore. "They score 140, we score 150".. throw the ball up with BIG time scorers and surround the basket with BIG time rebounders. I have two guys coming off the bench that are averaging better than 30ppg.
Depending on matchups, I'll be switching Rodman and Aldridge (as well as Bynum and Aldridge).
Magic Johnson - 20pts, 7rbs, 12asts
Best PG of all time, standing 6’9 and one of the best 3 players in history
Won championships at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels, as well as a Gold Medal Olympian
3 NBA MVP awards, 9 NBA finals appearances, 12 All-Star games
From 1982 – 1990, Magic averaged 20pts, 7rbs, 12asts
Dale Ellis – 26.7pts, 4.3rbs, 2.3asts, 1.2stls
One of the game’s best shooters of all time
In 17 seasons, he remarkably shot 40%+, across all 17 seasons
In his best years (1987 – 1989), Dale shot 45% from 3, averaging 26.7pts, 4.3rbs, 2.3asts, 1.2stls
Dr. J – 28.7pts, 12.1rbs, 4.8asts, 2.4stls, 2.0 blks
5th most points in NBA history
3 Rings
5 MVP awards
3 scoring titles
Hall of Fame
From 1971 – 1976, Dr. J had an incredible run averaging 28.7pts, 12.1rbs, 4.8asts, 2.4stls, 2.0 blks
Dennis Rodman – 8.3pts, 14.9rbs, 2asts
Arguably the best rebounder ever (record-holding 7 time NBA rebounding leader)
One of the best defenders ever
Hall of Famer
7 time all defensive team
2 time defensive player of the year
5 rings (3 in CHI and 2 in DET)
Over 14 seasons, Rodman had insanely consistent numbers, so rather than cherry pick a few best years, I’ll use career numbers; 14 year averages of 8.3pts, 14.9rbs, 2asts
Andrew Bynum – 18.7pts, 11.8rbs, 1.4asts, 1.9blks
It’s undeniable that Bynum’s productivity is on an upward tick.
2012 averages of 18.7pts, 11.8rbs, 1.4asts, 1.9blks
Andre Miller – 14pts, 4rbs, 7.1asts
ONLY missed 3 games in his first 13 seasons (remarkable)
Ranks 10th all time in NBA assists
15 seasons .. averaging 14pts, 4rbs, 7.1asts
Roger Braille – 12.5pts, 3.2rbs, 2.3asts
Contrary to current memory, Raja is one of the NBA’s greatest 3pt shooters, boasting a 40%+ career mark.
A very good, tough-nosed defender
In his best years (from 2004-09), Bell shot 44% from 3. 12.5pts, 3.2rbs, 2.3asts
Adrian Dantley – 30.6pts, 6.4rbs, 4.1asts, 1.2stls
From 1980 to 1984, for the Jazz, Dantley averaged 30.6pts, 6.4rbs, 4.1asts, 1.2stls
Elgin Baylor - 36.1 pts, 19.3 rbs, 4.9 asts
Incredibly athletic scoring machine
Hall of Fame
11 time All-Star
Chosen #1 overall in the 1958 draft
Averaged 27.4 pts over a 14 year career.
In his most productive years (1960 – 1962), he averaged 36.1 pts, 19.3 rbs, 4.9 asts
Lamarcus Aldridge – 21.5pts, 8rbs, 2.4asts, .8stls, .9blks
Like Bynum, Aldridge also showed his best numbers in 2012
21.5pts, 8rbs, 2.4asts, .8stls, .9blks
2 last key points to success;
1) I have no white guys.
2) Roger Braille, bitches!
Spycam1's case:
Down low:
Robinson and Ewing would destroy PKM's front court. Let's put it this way, when you combine Bynum's career high in PPG (18.7) with Rodman's (11.6) you get a total of 30.3 points. When you combine Robinson's career high in points (29.8) with Ewing's (28.6) you get 58.4 points. Yeah, Bynum and Rodman's career high's COMBINED barely equals just one of my guys.
Also, even though Rodman is one of the best defenders ever, as a duo, Robinson and Ewing is better defensively than Rodman and Bynum, IMO. I mean, with Rodman basically not being an kind of scoring threat, I could double Bynum with Ewing and Robinson. When it comes down to it, I just don't see how PKM's front line could score on me, and you're not going to win a basketball game if you can't score down low.
Robinson > Rodman
Ewing > Bynum
Webber > Aldridge
Plus, I have Bosh to top it all off, while he has no other post player.
3 point shooting:
Career 3PT%:
Magic (30%), Erving (26%) at least in NBA, Dantley (17%), Miller (17%), and Baylor never played with the 3. Ellis and Braille can knock it down, but his other players couldn't shoot worth a lick from 3. Plus, with Braille being at such a talent disadvantage in this game, I'm not sure you can actually justify playing him. That leaves Ellis as his only reliable 3 point threat.
He won't score on my team in the post at all, and doesn't have the 3 point shooting to make up for it.
Lebron vs Magic:
This would be pretty awesome. Although I think Magic would have a harder time guarding Lebron than the other way around, I think their overall impacts on the game would be about even. Though, I'll just say Magic isn't used to playing someone who is just as big as him...well, bigger if we're talking weight, and much more athletic.
In the end:
PKM just wouldn't be able to score on me down low, and doesn't have the outside shooting to compensate.
My team is bigger, faster, more athletic, has better 3 point shooting, can actually score in the post, and is better defensively.
