Give me:

Beverly $1
Allen $2
Jabari $2
Magette $2
AD $5


Nobody is scoring on my backcourt and my frontcourt will gladly carry the offense.

That's because you are still wet behind the ears. Center is literally the only position that you have an edge.

My entire frontcourt was a unit has a massive edge and Allen is a perfect defender on Wade. It’s over at halftime.

I have 4 of the 5 best players on my team. Outside of Curry everyone else is a great defender or at least tries to play defense. Your team would struggle to score 50.

I'm not even going to bother making a chicago team with 12 pts because it's too embarrassing. When I was left with the choice of Nazr and Curry I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

How about a little 3 on 3? Wade, Cummings, and Howard

You're delusional. AD is scoring 50 by himself and your team is getting the doors blown off it. You put together a decent 1980's lineup. I put together an optimal 2018 lineup. It wouldn't be close.

Juwan Howard and our great team defense will not allow AD to score 30. We will force him to give the ball up. He doesn't handle double teams well and I'm confident no one else on your team has the ability to carry a team. My team can score inside and outside and play defense. I have multiple players that can carry a team offensively. This is the perfect hybrid of 80's and 10's basketball.

I don't know where you are getting this idea that Howard was a good defensive player. He was not. Him and Eddy Curry would be one of the worst defensive frontcourts the sport of basketball has ever seen. They would get run out of the gym by Magette, Parker, and AD.

AD handles double teams extremely well now. That weakness went away 2-3 years ago.

Howard was a willing defender and a GREAT offensive player. Parker can't run or guard Howard or Curry on defense. Nick Anderson is better than Maggette in EVERY way. Wade is just as good a defender as Allen and a much superior offensive player. Wade also knows how to win championships. All but 1 player on my team has won a championship or played in the Finals.

given the choices at 1 pt I think you almost have to go with Beverly as your PG or else you're gonna end up stuck with some massive stiff in your lineup.


PG: Beverly/Marshall (my dad went there when they were the first city team to win State, led by George Wilson)
SG: Nelison Anderson/Simeon
SF: Mark Aguire/Westinghouse
Wing: Corey Magette/ Fremd
Center: Juwan Howard/CVS


I think that would be a pretty good small ball team in today's game.

Yep. He came out around the time Bobby Simmons and Quentin Richardson did.

I played high school hockey against Todd Hundley. He sucked.


On the other hand, Dan Wilson was a really good goalie for Barrington.



Kinda funny, I played high school hockey against 2 future MLB all stars, but no future NHL players (other than the one on my team).
