    This era's rules?

    88' MJ - DPOY Jordan
    13' Durant - 51/42/91 shooting for 28ppg and his best year as a defender
    94' Pippen - arguably his best year as a defender
    13' Lebron - excellent shooting, played a lot of PF, great defense
    02' Duncan - Duncan's best year, he was such a beast on both ends that season and he's one of the greatest, if not the greatest running big men the league has seen

    Can you imagine how much of a nightmare this team would be defensively?

    Other than Shaq, I think your team gets eaten alive.

    Curry and Lebron are the only two players that can really create their own shot.. But they're guarded by themselves, so the defender would know what the offensive player is doing before the offensive player actually does it. So your offense is ground to a halt, relying on Allen to create against Jordan, Dirk to create against KG. Good luck with that.

    Gotta love the paradoxes (if the correct word) of players playing themselves.

    I like the idea of Magic on Curry. Magic's size should bother Curry quite a bit. But the issue with Magic at PG is that you then need to surround him with shooting, which you did, but TMac and Bird lack the one-on-one defense needed to attempt to contain MJ and Lebron.

    This probably the greatest team in nba history.
    PG: '97 Payton (a little better offensively than '96)
    SG: '06 Kobe
    SF: '08 Pierce
    PF: '03 Duncan
    C: '90 Ewing

    Almost tempting to go with prime Shawn Kemp because of the Rockets' struggles in the mid-90s with Seattle, but I like this too.

    Assuming I can't choose any of the same players, maybe...

    Stockton / Oscar
    Kobe
    Pippen
    Durant
    Shaq / Kareem

    MJ and LeBron would destroy the other team defensively and get fastbreaks galore. Plus MJ was great off ball, awesome cutter, good mid range shooter. MJ and LeBron would wreck any team
