Since I already posted, I'll add my opinions. I think it would be between Boston and Cleveland. No doubt. And it would be closer than Celtics fans are saying, and it'd be much closer than Cavs fans are saying.
BUT, I don't see why all this "NO ONE CAN STOP PRIME LEBRON OR PRIME SHAQ" when so many teams have. Boston does perhaps the best job defensively on LeBron today, but could you imagine how much better a job they could do if all their players were in their prime?
And Perkins is one of the best man to man post defenders in the NBA, and if he had a prime KG to help with the weakside and double team....Boston could do a decent job on Shaq. I'm not goin to go as far as KG5MVP and say they'd shut him down, b/c Shaq in his prime was one of the most unstoppable forces ever. But he wouldn't beat us single handedly.
Rondo>>>>>Williams
Ray>>>>>>>>>>>>Parker/West

Re: If everyone was at their primes, Celtics would be by far the best team
Yes, people are forgetting how GREAT Ray, Finley and KG were in their primes. Finley was a 24 ppg scorer a few years, even higher a couple times. As was Ray. Ray was once a top 3 SG. And KG was the most complete player in the league. Do I need to remind everyone of KG's stats over a 8-9 year stretch? 20+ ppg, 10+ rpg, 5+ apg, ~2 bpg, ~2 spg

I don't think McDyess was ever a Center. Duncan's played center more than tonio. Originally Posted by ConanRulesNBC

That's how I see it.
I think the top teams, if every player was in their prime, would be: 1. Boston, 2. Cleveland, 3. LAL, 4. SA

Ridiculous post whining and crying about delusional scenarios. I guess arguing something relevant like who has the best chance of winning it became to realistic and boring.

PLUS, Rajon Rondo, Perk, etc etc? Are people kidding?

Mavericks with prime Dirk, Kidd, Marion and Butler would be pretty scary as well.

You guys do know that Michael Finley was a 22 PPG, 6 RPG, 5 APG guy on 46% shooting and 40% from deep right? Not to mention his crazy athleticism... And Prime Ray Ray was scarier... And KG...

Re: If everyone was at their primes, Celtics would be by far the best team
The top crop of the NBA would be Celtics - Cavs - Spurs. I'm not getting into which especifically would be better, as it is clearly debatable (the OP simply didn't saw a prime Shaq, and prime KG / Sheed / Pierce / Allen / Finley is as well rounded as they come).
Orlando (prime VC + prime Shard + Dwight ), Dallas (Kidd + Marion + Butler + Tim Thomas + Erika Dampier all in their prime + Dirk & Terry) would look really good as well, although a step below the 3 teams above.
