Dream 12

[n_huffhines]

If the Jazz could have any 12 players...

Starters:
Chris Paul
James Harden
Lebron James
Kevin Love
Dwight Howard

Bench:
Rajon Rondo
Arron Afflalo
Kevin Durant
Gerald Wallace
Tyson Chandler
Al Horford
Andre Iguodala

I'm not saying these are the best 12. I'm saying these 12 are all great, and will give me the optimal balance of scoring, defense, and rebounding.

For the starting five, the two spot is the only place that should be debatable. CP3, LeBron, KLove and Dwight are all clearly the best at what they do and for the most part it's not close.

 

[GahLee]

1. Earl Boykins
2. Kobe
3. Clearance Witherspoon ( can't remember if he played the 2 or 3, doesn't matter, I got Kobe )
4. Reggie Evans
5. Luc Longley

Kobe's will to win could lead this team to a championship.

lulz

BTW, according to advanced stats James Harden just had the 2nd greatest season ever for a guard 22 years of age, or younger.

Behind mj?

Behind mj?

No, actually CP3. MJ was a rookie at 21, and played 18 games at 22, so he didn't get much of a chance at that #1 spot.

 

[GahLee]

I'll pose a question...

CP3 is the best PG since?

Ever? I've got Magic and Stockton as a push, with JKidd right behind them. I'm thinking CP3 ends up in the convo with those top 2.

 

[YankeeVol]

None of them would play for the Jazz

He is better than Kidd and I think it's by a longshot.

I agree on him being listed that high when it's all said and done, he will rest somewhere in the top 5 ever at the position.

I know. The Jazz might as well be BYU football. The big talent will never come.

CP3 = JKidd + great scoring ability

 

[YankeeVol]

CP3 will be in the running for best PG ever by the time his career is over

Unless he starts winning a bunch if rings he won't.

Rarified air when talking about Magic Johnson. I don't think he'll get close to that.

Which sucks because it's not of his own doing. The hornets were damn near a dumpster fire, and as far as I'm concerned, the clippers are still the clippers

 

[YankeeVol]

Rings don't mean everything but they sure do help

 

[Vols520]

I think magic had a better all around game than Jordan. Jordan was just Jordan.O

 

[milohimself]

That's just a matter of size though. Jordan wasn't big enough to play the 4, Magic was.

 

[Stupified]

JKidd is a career 13/9/6 player. Has over 100 career triple doubles. Third on the all time 3 pointer list. No way I'm putting CP3 higher on the all time list just yet.

Chris is a better scorer and defender. Assists are a wash. Kidd is obviously a better rebounder but that doesn't really make him a better PG.

 

[n_huffhines]

I'll take the rebounds anywhere you can get them. But unless CP does an about face, he'll surpass Kidd on the all-time list.

As long a he stays healthy, he'll do it easily
