I saw this on NBC Sports Boston last night. The panelist on the show picked their own teams, and there was a voting page on twitter to see who had the best team. Well, I figured why not have fun with this on celticsblog.
Make your starting lineup consisting of 3 forwards and 2 guards. You have 15 points to spend. You can even pick players from the same group.
Forward (Group 1): Bill Russell (5), Dave Cowens (4), Robert Parish (3), Al Hortford (2), Kendrick Perkins (1)
Forward (Group 2): Kevin Garnett (5), Kevin McHale (4), Tom Heinsohn (3), Tom Sanders (2), Antoine Walker (1)
Forward (Group 3): Larry Bird (5), John Havlicek (4), Paul Pierce (3), Reggie Lewis (2), Cedric Maxwell (1)
Guard (Group 1): Bob Cousy (5), Kyrie Irving (4), Dennis Johnson (3), Rajon Rondo (2), KC Jones (1)
Guard (Group 2): Sam Jones (5), Ray Allen (4), Jo Jo White (3), Isaiah Thomas (2), Danny Ainge (1)
Let’s assume each player is in their prime. Also, to make it a little more interesting, pick a team based on different eras.
