Default omg

G- Magic
G- Jordan
SF- Bird
PF- Barkley
C- Kareem

No arguments other than maybe Hakeem at C. This team would beat any of todays. Todays could take 10 man team(top 10 in last 5-7 years) and sub in and out and let the old school players play the full 48 and still beat them by 15+.DEFENSE is the key. Reason being is who would you take off and replace from the old school team with a new player? No way jordan bird magic or barkley. Barkley was one of the most amazing players i have ever seen play the game at his position. He had so much love for the overall game and it showed by his physicallity and perseverance. Is there anyone else you can think of that worked harder than him in the league ever? If so please name him. Also, watch out for a Jr in High school named OJ Mayo. He is the man coming up.

I agree with everything you said BigJohn... I agree that Barkley was an unreal player. I also think Karl Malone could play PF with Barkley. People dont realize Karl Malone is SECOND on the alltime scoring list and the record is all but his if he keeps playing. Malone was also a beast on defense like Barkley. I agree that those 5 would own any new school team.

basketball is my forte. It always has been. I have played and watched it all of my life and became a High School official after i graduated. Malone was the man omahillo....no doubt but i would have to stick with barkley there IMO. Just too much of a fighter not too

what? no love for my man wilt chamberlin? 100 points in a game! or what about bill russell? oscar robertson? dr. j? theres no way you can say "current NBA" vs "old NBA" because there are decades and decades of players, vs the current ones. there are too many great players. maybe if you chose a decade, and THEN built the teams you might have a reason to argue this.

I thought we were talking about the 80s... I know Russell and Wilt were amazing in the 60s. Russell won 11 titles... try topping that.

if you read the whole thing it says 80's. Im only 22 so im not a stud on 60's and 70's. I would have to say that for the 80's i have the optimum team IMO.
