Are the Lakers the greatest team ever assembled if every player was in their prime?

**DaHeezy** · 08-12-2012, 04:49 PM

Prime:

Steve Nash
Kobe Bryant
Ron Artest (obviously his better years were under this name)
Pau Gasol
Dwight Howard

Jamison off the bench

Great case. Any better?

Possibly 1983 Lakers:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Bob McAdoo
James Worthy
Byron Scott
Magic Johnson

Bench:
Jamaal Wilkes, Michael Cooper, Norm Nixon

**DuMa** · 08-12-2012, 04:52 PM

2011 Celtics

**Horatio33** · 08-12-2012, 04:53 PM

Celtics 2011 Starting five.

Shaq
KG
Pierce
Ray
Rondo

**KingBeasley08** · 08-12-2012, 04:53 PM

C Shaquille O'Neal
PF Karl Malone
SF Devean George (weak link on team)
PG Gary Payton
SG Kobe Bryant

Plus Fisher, Horace Grant, and Rick Fox coming off bench. I think this team could take them

**Odinn** · 08-12-2012, 04:53 PM

2010-11 Celtics, 1985-86 Celtics, 1982-83 Lakers, 2003-04 Lakers, 1984-85 Sixers

All of them would be better than 2012-13 Lakers imo for that situation.

The Celtics with Shaq are better if everyone is in their primes.

Definately a great case considering Jermaine O'Neal was on this squad

**tmacattack33** · 08-12-2012, 04:56 PM

I thought they also signed Grant Hill?

Am I wrong?

**Rubio2Gasol** · 08-12-2012, 04:57 PM

Denis Johnson
Ainge
Larry Bird
Mchale
Bill Walton

Robert Parish and Wedman off the bench.

LA Jr.

**Overdrive** · 08-12-2012, 04:59 PM

1997-98 Rockets, not deep, but I think they'd be great
2001-02 Magic (Hill, Ewing, Grant, McGrady)

That was the previous season, with no Shaq

Like everyone else stated, the 2011 Celtics. With Rondo running the point, KG and Shaq dominating the paint, along with Pierce and Ray spotting up shots.

Also, they're all good defensive players as well...
