Make your own team a vs team b starting 5. if by any chances come up with different person, we can chat about why we got different opinion. By the way, no hard feeling nor no offense if we don't come up the same person.

I try to stick with Michael because the Wilt era too crazy. Should added The Flash & Zoo-Morning on the staring 5. T-Mac, JKidd, CP3, Deron Williams, VC, Dwight Howrad, Dirk, KG, Paul Pierce, Reggie Miller, Penny, Tim Hardway, Kevin Johnson, EWing, all these are great players, but none of them got the champ rings because they are only up to all-stars level not the super all stars. To be consider super all stars when you team down to final 2 minutes you need to be dominated, to create shots or to make a shot. Take a look at NBA finals, when Jordan comes, he wants to beat Larry Bird, Magic, Isiah Thomas, which he does, which nobody can beat him afterward, then to Kobe-Shaq era, and to Twin Towers, all prove and show leadership. Not to disrespect Pistons but they are no longer under Larry Brown.

I hate the pistons, I'm from chicago... I think a true superstar has to have a ring. There are lot of good players out there, but only a few have a ring to show for it.

LBJ vs Melo will be a good matchup for next 10 years.
CP3 vs Deron Willimas should be very interesting.
Dwight Howard vs Amare.
Chris Bosh vs Shawn Marion.
D-Wade vs Kobe.
Hopefully they can all turn out to be a superstar. I think Bulls are far beyound to have anyone like Scottie, Kurr, Rodman, Grant, Paxon, BJ Armstrong.. of course there is only 1 MJ, there is never other one can be like him.

From 1983 to present,
Players are in their prime
Team 1

SF Larry Bird
PF Karl Malone - only non champion here, but a future hall of famer
C Hakeem Olajawon
Team 2
PG John Stockton - all time assist leader
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Scottie Pippen - beats out Barkley or Lebron James due to better versatility,
Especially defensively and all those championship rings
PF Tim Duncan

But not as dominating.
