All-Time Basketball Team

 

If you could pick 10 players and put together a team that could beat any other 10-person historical combination team, who would you pick? This requires not just choosing 10 great players, but players who would work together well on the floor

Here's mine, beginning with the 5 starters:

Starting Guard: Magic Johnson
Starting Guard: Stephen Curry
Starting Forward: LeBron James
Starting Forward: Tim Duncan
Starting Center: Hakeem Olajuwon

And the "bench":

Guard: Kobe Bryant
Guard: John Stockton
Forward: Larry Bird
Forward: Kevin Garnett
Center: Shaquille O'Neal

I think you could take these 10 guys and they would beat any other group of 10 players you could come up with. It's such a stunningly good combination of scoring, rebounding, passing, and defense when you put the whole group together.
