SF: Lebron
PF: Dirk?
C: Kareem
Defenders:
PG: Stockton
SG: MJ
SF: Pippen
PF: KG?
C: Russell?
Also, who would win in a 5 on 5 between the two teams?

LeBron isn't a better scorer than Durant. Wilt and Shaq can be debated over Kareem.
Since when is Stockton considered the GOAT PG defender?

I would say Lebron is a better scorer. He can't shoot as well but he averages about the same PPG as Durant over his career with about 6 more seasons on Durant and is more versatile offensively.
Since Stockton is by far the NBA all time steals leader. It's probably Gary Payton but I think it's a legit discussion.

The shooting disparity is huge. 2014 LeBron was a really good shooter, but other than that, he's been anywhere from rotten to merely streakily good. Durant is an incredible shooter. LeBron is a better post player and slasher, Durant is better at ISO'ing and jump shots.

Bird/Kd have good cases over Lebron as scorers. Payton, Frazier, or Kidd for goat pg defenders. Maybe Duncan for PF.

Bird has no case over LeBron as a scorer. Check the stats. KD>both of them though.

well maybe peak wise even though I agree for a career. Bird has years where he put up 30ppg, 29ppg, 28ppg all around 60TS% even though ik pace affects it. Lebron's 2013 or 2014 are hard ti argue against however/

Offense wins games, defense wins championships. If I had to pick for one game, gimme the scorers. For a 7-game series, I'm taking the defenders.
