I don’t need to say a whole lot as everyone here knows how great most of my players were. Some we forget. So I’ll point out a few things of note:
1. Ginobili is 5th all-time in postseason three pointers behind Curry, Allen, Klay, and Lebron. He was prolific.
2. Walton had a crazy short career yet at certain points in certain seasons, won an NBA MVP, was first team all-defense, led the league in rebounding, led the league in blocks, and averaged 5.0 assists per game. He also did not lose a game for five straight years at one point, from the middle of his junior year in high school to the middle of his senior year in college. He was that great of a player and that great of a winner. Some are each, not many have the ability to be elite at both. Bill Simmons said no center in history had a greater effect on teammates. He also said that if aliens came to Earth and we needed to assemble a team of the five greatest basketball players to save us and our planet, Walton would be one of the five. He was that dominant.
3. Petrović shot 43.7% from three for his career. Yep, that great a shooter. And in that brief career he still had two seasons scoring 20.0+ per game. He wasn’t just a spot up shooter. He was an offensive stud.
 
Thee Jazz Fan:

Offense. My offense is centered around the legend, Larry Legend he has one of the most instinctual games the NBA has ever seen, which is why I made him the second pick in the draft. He does it all. He can handle the ball, pass shoot and take it to the hole and make everyone around him better, taking pressure off of Payton to allow him to play smothering defense.

Go look and compare the stats to Larry Legend Bird and LeBron King James. lol kings were once princes, LBJ was prince to the Legends King.

Larry Legend in my opinion is better than LeBron James. (recency bias) He was every bit the passer LBJ was. LBJ averaged only one more assist but while monopolizing the ball a lot more, Bird was every bit the stat stuffer LBJ was. Was every bit as good a shot blocker LBJ was, every bit as smart as LBJ is on the court, and every bit the defender LBJ was. And finished every bit as well as LBJ. Bird was by far the better rebounder, 10 rebounds for his career to LBJ’s 7. Bird was the better shooter, closer, and more clutch. Bird always had to go over Magic’s showtime lakers to get his rings.




Defense

Every single starter on my squad is an elite defender. Gary the Glove Payton is perhaps the greatest one on one defender the league has ever seen. The Glove is the only PG who has won DPOY.

Payton defensive breakdown

Reggie Miller
Reggie Miller was simply a winner and one of the best clutch performers, and shooters. He would do whatever it took to win, be it his game on the court or his antics on the court and getting under his opponents skin.



Kevin Garnett
Garnett played the game every day like it was his last day on earth, he is a matchup nightmare for Dirk.



My bench features two of the best sg’s in nba history who were elite scorers. One of the great do everything players in The matrix an underrated pg who was a good defender, and Zo, who sacrificed so much to play the game he loved

My team will win because of its ultimate combined competitive fire, each would push the other to be even greater, and trash talk the hell out of the other team.

This would be a fun team to watch.
 
Both teams are exceptionally awesome. Voted wes for his bench.
