Do we do this like the all nba is now (positionless) or do we have to fit the players into the traditionally position slots? I might have Bird, Tatum, and Pierce all in the top 5, but they play the same position. I am going to just rank by position and see how that looks.
PG: Cousy, Johnson, Kyrie (kidding)
SG: Havlicek, Brown(?), Sam Jones
SF: Bird, Tatum, Pierce
PF: McHale, Heinsohn, Garnett
C: Russell, Parrish, Cowens
If I was to pick a top 5 to play in the game today, I might have the following:
Cousy
Pierce
Tatum
Bird
Russell
Havlicek is the one who could edge out Pierce or Tatum but I am not scoring based on longevity. When you start to look at the team in this way, you start to realize just how good this team is.
