yeah, I saw that too. I'm just thinking about how I would construct my team. Looking at that list, really only Manu, Carter and Allen are guys that can play off the ball (don't know a ton about Drex, I was too young to watch him) on the wing and shoot 3s well. On my ideal team, I would prefer my SG to be a spot up shooter like those guys instead of the Kobe type who always have to have the ball in their hands.

I'm sorry, did you just say that Vince Carter is good off the ball?

yeah I meant to add with Carter that early in his career he was a ballhog but lately, especially when he was with Dallas, he's learned to play off the ball.

Drexler would probably net 50 ppg on that squad.

Pssh. Mutombo and Rodman would clean everything up and Webb would be running circles around everyone. Would be a great team to watch.
Coach - Jeff Van Gundy

Tim Duncan over Malone is a relatively easy call at the 4. Duncan v. Hakeem at the 4 is more interesting IMO, since Hakeem was more of a 4.5 by necessity.

Hakeem is probably the most underrated NBA player by the common fan in history.

I grew up thinking Hakeem was a career Toronto Raptor because he was with them in 2001 NBA Live.
