    Default Give me your all time “Didnt make the playoffs” first team.

    Single season by position.

    Feel free to set whatever standards you want for health but keep it reasonable. I’d say playing at least 70% of the season maybe is fair? That’s 58 games of 82. Maybe 80(66 games) is better? Don’t know. Up to you. It’s your list I just don’t see what we get out of including guys who played 10-20 games like say….Davis Robinson when he went down. Reasonably full seasons accepted.


    With that considered….

    Steph 2021 has to be really high along with Pistol Pete and some others. Same for 05 Lebron and if you count him(60ish games off the top of my head) 05 Kobe. You have some options at center with prime Wilt and Kareem I believe. At the 4 you have a season or two of prime KG and Barkley. You could build some pretty wild lineups.

    Whats your team?

    You pretty much named all the best players, (not really a fan of Pistol Pete though) lol.

    Guess you could throw in Oscar Robertson as well, pretty sure he missed the playoffs a couple of times in his prime.

    To make a real team I’d say there’s lots of options. If I’m trying to win today?


    21 Steph
    02 Ray Allen
    97 Reggie Miller
    05 KG
    92 Hakeem

    05(ish)AK47 maybe over Reggie if the defense needed it.

    Or



    21 Steph
    05 Kobe
    98Grant Hill
    04 Marion
    64(or whatever year it was)Wilt

    You’d want more shooting but they could run and play Defense enough to win inside and out I’d say. Just pick enough shooting role players. Or just dump Marion, play Hill at the 4, and pick like Glen Rice for the 3. It would work out.

    96 Kidd
    02 Ray
    05 Lebron
    88 Barkley
    93 Rodman

    Just let ‘em run and switch you to death on defense. Not built the best but for my entertainment?

    Id like to see Rodman and Barkley in 2022. We would give up 8 offensive boards the whole season and Dennis would run even the stretch bigs to death.
