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

[2LeTTeRS]

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

What do you think?

[Mass Debator]

You can't go wrong with those players. I'd take a different approach. It's not a do-or-die line up but one that can be consistently dominate over a long stretch.

Jerry West
Reggie Miller
Lebron James
Kevin Garnett
Hakeem Olajuwon

The PG, SG and SF is almost always the same (Magic, Jordan, Bird or Magic, Jordan, LeBron). I'm always interested to see the PF / C combos on these lists though.

I'm not entirely sure how well Hakeem and Kareem would work. These are usually the PF / C combos I think would work best:

Duncan / Walton
Garnett / Kareem

[ImKobe]

Magic
West
Kobe
Baylor
Kareem

lol at hakeem being anywhere near these line ups

The most versatile big ever. Inside outside on defense and offense

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

What do you think?

We have nearly identical all-time lineup! One difference is I'd move Hakeem to center and replace KAJ with Duncan.

Only all-time great center with no weakness.

Name me your all-time centers and I'll tell you one major weakness with them (either they can't hit FTs or no jumpshot etc.)

[JellyBean]

Nothing wrong with that list. Looks good.

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.

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

Interchangeable skill-set. Best at most successful years were at the PF. He's a PF.

Unless you're willing to say Barkley was an SF, Pippen a PG, Magic an SF/PF.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Great line-up, I'd only change one player...

Hakeem definitely had the skill-set and also athleticism to play PF but he was a C, most effective there, always played at the 5, and even with Sampson he played center (Sampson probably was a "better" PF than Hakeem though, even with the height)... Duncan spent his best years at PF, and he's the GOAT PF, so to me:

Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Kareem

It doesn't matter where Hakeem is ranked. He had the skill-set to fit on any team. This is an all-time team. He won't be the first option. Kareem is a great choice too for versatility, but Hakeem had a bit better defense and jump shot. If you want to build a team inside out offensively, sure, go with Kareem.
