Celtics/Lakers vs. The rest

[zjcvols]

I was watching First Take and they had a good debate for once. They asked if an all-time combined Lakers/Celtics team could beat the rest of the NBA's best players all-time. Here's what my teams would be:

Lakers/Celtics

PG: Magic Johnson
SG: Kobe Bryant
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Bill Russell
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

PG: Bob Cousy
SG: Jerry West
SF: Elgin Baylor
PF: Kevin McHale
C: Wilt Chamberlien

G: John Havlicek
C: Shaquille O'Neal

NBA

PG: Oscar Robertson
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Julius Erving
PF: Tim Duncan
C: Hakeem Olajuwon

PG: John Stockton
SG: Rick Barry
SF: LeBron James
PF: David Robinson
C: Moses Malone

F: Charles Barkley
F: Karl Malone
What you think? Who wins? And what is your rosters?

Hakeem pulling double duty?

I would take any team that can be assembled from the rest of the teams over what could be assembled from previous Lakers/Celtics teams.

Karl Malone has to be on there somewhere
