Shaq and Hakeem.   Shaq with Hakeem's post moves and touch would have averaged 40 in his prime.  

Jordan with Ray Allen's shooting touch would be scary.  

edit;  Didn't see the Jordan Ray one 2 posts before me I swear.   ;D

This would be an interesting combination.  Hakeem Olajuwon and Mark Eaton.  You take Eaton's 7'4" huge frame and combine that with the hands, quickness, and post moves of Olajuwon and WOW!

Also, I guess I'll be the first one to go there:

Russell and Wilt.  Dominant on offense, dominant on defense, and the only stat he's obsessed with is championships.

And Bill gets lucky more often.

This is my number one choice. My number two choice would be Ralph Sampson and The Dream.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Ray Allen and Pierce would be pretty crazy - that footwork combined with that release would be terrifying to defend against.  And a pretty solid defender too. 


Here's a fun one:  Kareem and Greg Oden.  Assuming he got Kareem's durability.

Old(ish) school:  John Stockton and Kevin Johnson.

John Stockton with Derek Rose.  Stockton's instincts and passing with Rose's athleticism.

Of players throughout NBA history:

Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd

God beat you to it, his name was Nate Archibald  ;)

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I hereby create the ultimate bust....Kwamakandi.

Also I create the fattest and dumbest Celtic ever who can't stop taking horrid shots.  Glen Walker!

I also take three players and combine them into the stiffest white center ever.  Montaly Knight!

What about just Magic and Bird? Take the best two players from a decade and combine them :)

Become Legendary.

combining 2 HOF'ers and creating another HOF'er (Wilt+Russell, Bird+Magic, etc.) is definitely risk-free. i was hoping players would take two role/bench players and make a potential HOF'er. at least an All-star :P

i'm thinking... Brian Scalabrine + Corey Maggette. combine scal's smarts on defense, decent 3-pt shooting range and team-first mentality, with Maggette's athleticism and ability to get to the line and i think you'll have a surefire all-star.

..of course, you could end up getting an unathletic gunner who plays no D with a me-first mentality

Imagine Shaq with Hakeem's footwork (and defense).  Biggest post presence I could think of.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Kevin Garnett and David Robinson?

  - KG's all around game with David's brute monster size and more unstoppable with post scoring/defense.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Shaq?

 - Shaq with that beautiful, unstoppable sky-hook and with Kareem's durablility/longevity in his game.
