Len Bias' athleticism, playmaking, and attitude combined with Roy Tarpley's size, rebounding, and tolerance for cocaine.

Larry Bird + Lebron James = I think that's scarier than Lebron Jordan

Lebron Bird

Pros.
Ridiculous levels of Clutch - Bird
Ridiculous Shooting ability - Bird
Ridiculous Strength & Athleticism - LBJ

Cons:
Not so impressive post game.
A whole new level of D.Baggery even fans of their own teams would hate him to an extent.

Basically Larry Bird with Lebrons Athleticism.
this.  You put Bird's brain in Bron's body and it's over.

or Hakeem + Shaq.  Unstoppable force on the block.

Shaq's post game, athleticism (in his younger days), ability to draw fouls and relative longevity with Yao Ming's 7'6" frame, shooting touch, ball skills at his size and free throw shooting.

He might average 50-20.

I would have gone with Larry and Bill, too, then I remembered that MJ's primary position with the Wizards was Small Forward, so I'll have to go with Bill Russell and Michael Jordan, (6'10" & 6'6") ... not much explaining necessary. ;)

In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Yeah, sounds kind of harsh, but I figure, two great squandered talents from the same period: one could handle drugs physically but lacked the mental fortitude to quit them, the other was mentally strong but the one time he slipped, his body couldn't cope.  Put em together and you've got an incredible player who stays alive and has a full career.

Wilt and Bill Walton.

You get great rebounding and passing from both. Great defense and shot blocking from both. Wilt's scoring. Walton's focus on the team game. Plus health.

Wilt Walton is ready for action.

A less depressing one:  Ray Allen and Karl Malone.  I'm not sure how it all would shake out, but he'd be the greatest pick+roll/pop threat in history, score 40,000 points, speak VERY frankly, and p--- Kobe off in the process.  Sold!

Brian Scalabrine, and the leg strength and dunking ability of Vince Carter in his prime...that would be hilarious to watch.

Ultimate post player:

Dwight with Mchale. Dwight's defensive ability with Mchale's defensive ability and versatility; Mchale's offensive creativity inside Dwights once-in-a-generation size/athleticism combo.
