All-Time Detroit Pistons probably could beat any All-Time team.

[Papaya Petee]

Pretty sure Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. Pistons did a pretty good job about that.

A line up of

Chauncey Billups
Joe Dumars
Dennis Rodman
Rasheed Wallace
Bill Laimbeer

Could handle that line up pretty easily. Bosh would get bullied by either big. Rodman could be placed on LeBron. Joe D on Wade. Chauncey on spot-up Ray Allen. Laimbeer would **** with Alonzo the whole time until he got into head.

I didn't include Isiah, Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Mark Aguirre, Adrian Dantley, or Dave Bing yet. Nor Grant Hill or Jerry Stackhouse.

You couldn't even choose which starting five you'd want. The Pistons are THAT deep at EVERY position.

The Heat would literally murder that Pistons team.

Prime Prince and Hamilton got abused by a 3rd year Wade. 09 Wade and 13 Lebron would eat them alive.

Tim Hardaway instead of Ray Allen would be equal to Chauncey.
Prime Zo shits on Laimbeer on both ends of the floor.
Plus Bosh can stretch the floor out.
4-1, probably a sweep.

ya, the lakers team on which kobe wasn't passing to shaq even when shaq got great position deep in the post. go ahead and watch the 2004 finals and tell me that what i just wrote didn't happen a lot of times.
Kobe-Shaq feud was half the reason pistons won in 2004 finals.

This. People don't realize this but 2012 heat with an all time great defensive center would probably be top 3 team of all time. 2012 heat trashed every team when bosh wasn't injured. Adding alonzo to that team would be unfair.

[kennethgriffin]

I put up who I'd put up in the lineup to their right. I don't see any glaring holes in the Pistons against either team. And Detroit is plenty the better defensive team in both matchups.

Magic >>>> Isiah
Kobe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joe Dumars
Baylor >>>>>>>>>> Dennis Rodman
Kareem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rasheed Wallace
Shaq >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bill Laimbeer


2nd team:

West >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Chauncey Bills
Goodrich >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rip Hamilton
Worthy = Grant Hill
Mikan >>>>>>>> Ben Wallace
Wilt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bob Lanier




no glaring holes?

I saw it and I know the strategy they used. The Pistons let Shaq force the ball down the Pistons throat. Kobe got tired of it and wanted in on the action.

So the Pistons have the mental edge is what you are saying?

pistons would have the mental edge if they were the reason shaq and kobe were almost enemies during that time.

So we forget about the defensive side of the ball. It's cool. No worries.

Half the guys up there were beaten by Pistons in the Finals. Just saying.

[jayfan]

Bing
Lanier
Isiah
Dumars
Dantley
Aguire
Rodman
Grant Hill
B. Wallace
R. Wallace
Billups
Laimbeer


This team can compete with any all-time great team. Best defensive team of them all.

[And1AllDay]

They could probably limit the Heat to double digits but they would have trouble scoring over 50 points

Final Score
Heat: 51
Pistons: 47

And there's plenty of scoring here, by the way.

no, there isn't if they are playing against all time great defenders themselves. Apparently your team can stop all time great offensive threats like wade and lebron but wade, lebron and alonzo on the same team can't stop players on your team which are not even close to top 25 offensive players of all time.

[SouBeachTalents]

Lol at dumbass OP bragging about beating 40 year old Kareem. Pistons wouldn't even be a top 5 all time team

Yeah, pretty much.

And by the way, Adrian Dantley is #27 all-time scorer, (that's close to top 25, last I checked), and #15 among that group in ppg.

i am not taking dantley over wade as a scorer because he has more points.
Players who have scored lesser total points than dantley:
Larry Bird
Wade
David Robinson

Just like i said, i would take these 3 before dantley even though they have lesser total points scored.
