If we are talking about the top 5 by their respective positions I would have to take MJ at shooting guard, Magic at point, Bird at small forward, probably Duncan at pf although I would like to move Russell here, and Wilt at center. That team has a huge bb iq, the most dominant force ever to play the game in Wilt, and the most dominant scorer in MJ, one of the best basketball minds ever in Bird and Duncan and the best point guard ever in Magic. You could assemble a better all around defensive or offensive team but I dont think you can get a better combination of both.
Does anyone really think that Duncan or Kareemm or Russel for that, is going to stop a young Wilt who also has other players on his team who are almost as good as he was? In this game Wilt dominates the boards and defends the goal like noone has ever seen. He doesnt have to score but no one can stop hiime if he wants to.
