Reggie Miller's All-Time Line-up on DP Show

[Euroleague]

Most of you know nothing about hakeem and barely saw him play. You see a shake and bake move against Robinson and think he was other wordly. He literally couldn't separate himself from most of his contemporaries let alone the all time greats.

If you want to use that versatility bullcrap line then you go with Kareem.

Best Centers of all time:

1.Wilt
2.Kareem
3.Shaq
4.Russell
5.Duncan
6.Hakeem

Dude isnt even on the center starting line up squad.

ps. dont come at me talking about Duncan is a PF, he's a freaking center

[SexSymbol]

He didn't kiss Duncan's ass, so I am good with it. This whole "Duncan is the best power forward ever" bullshit is really getting old.

You must be joking.
There isn't any other position in which the second greatest player of it is as far as in power forwards from duncan.
Literally, even Kobe is closer to MJ than whatever you feel the second best PF is to Duncan

Put down the crack pipe.

C - Kareem
PF - Hakeem
SF - Bird
SG - MJ
PG - Magic

What do you think?

As with most peoples' all-time starting 5, I think it lacks spacing. Kind of ironic, too, considering whose list it is. I would think that Reggie, of all people, would recognize the importance of spacing for an offense.

Against a normal team, that lineup would clearly dominate. But against other all-time lineups, I don't see it doing well. Bird is the only player that's consistently good beyond 20 feet. Would be so easy (relatively speaking) to defend that team.

C - Kareem
PF - Hakeem
SF - Bird
SG - MJ
PG - Magic

What do you think?

I actually don't like that at all if you are making a team out of it.

If that's just his list for best player at each position...okay I guess, but I'm assuming it isn't because Hakeem really wasn't ever considered a pf

If I don't really have to be a slave to positions...I think this team would be almost impossible to beat;

PG - West
SG - MJ
SF - Bird
PF - Dirk
C - Russell

I have Magic as my 3rd best player, so the above isn't a knock on him...I just don't think he fits as well with that team as West does

If I was making a Magic team;

PG - Magic
SG - West
SF - Bird
PF - KG
C - Kareem

Three whites in your all time lineup? Risky

Putting a lot of stress on Russell on D, and how would the other 4 players do off the ball?

There's obviously no perfect mix, and this might be the best lineup I've seen... but still some questions

For sure.

What I like though is elite shooting around MJ. Imagine trying to keep Russell/Bird off the glass with Dirk stretching the defense out.

West/MJ/Bird would actually make up a pretty great defensive group...and Russell could pick up Dirk's slack on defense.

Would be a great rebounding team as well.

I just like that mix of guys around my GOAT (jordan)...all of the other 4 are fine without the ball and create some pretty big problems. You couldn't really ever double MJ with that team.

What do you think?

Good shit. That makes Reggie one of the only people I've seen (other than myself, of course) to put Hakeem at PF on an all time lineup. Hakeem is the GOAT PF without even ever playing PF, in my mind. His skill set is perfect to play alongside another great C.

the only thing I'd change is I might want more D at the PG position. That team doesn't look like the kind of team you'd want to push it with. Of course, you often wonder if dudes are really building a team or just naming who would be the best. If he was building a team, I'd even take someone like Pippen at the 1. or GP. Just someone that is gonna make life hell for the PG.

If he's good enough for Miller (and M. Jordan's) top 5 ... Hakeem is good enough for me.

The man was an all-time great scorer and all-time great defender.

They'd know better who shut them down than we would anyway. Most ISH dumbasses go by just the stats.
