2005 All-Star in 4 hrs (still), what about a fantasy 2005 West VS 1996 East

wai214

T-Mac + Kobe + KG + TD + Yao ---> tallest line-up in history!!!
Penny + MJ + Hill + Pippen + Shaq ---> My all-time favorite lineup!!!

Personally, I think 2005 West is just one of the best line-up in 10 years.  Only the 1996 East can have a match featuring with Penny + MJ + Hill + Pippen +Shaq.

The match up will be

Yao VS Shaq
TD VS Hill
KG VS Pippen
MJ VS Kobe
Penny VS T-Mac

Remember, Shaq is not that BIG in 96'.  Rodman has no problem playing 1 on 1 against him in the 96' eastern conference final, (and simply took him out of the game) so I think Yao can handle the 96' Shaq.  

T-Mac and Kobe are just the mirror of Penny and MJ, but of course, the tag team of Penny and MJ can overcome T-Mac and Kobe (slightly...remaining 98' allstar where Kobe has answer for every MJ's moves and he has almost stole the show. Kobe was end up on the bench playing MJ  (Ma Jong) in the 4th quarter, well that's NBA).

Pippen, as one of the best defender in history, should be able to defend KG, but not offensively, so it will be a tie.  Therefore, the remaining will be Hill against TD.  Since I am never a fans of Hill, I may underplay him and I will vote for TD, and the West.

What do you guys think?

sorry, the best starting lineup in NBA history should be in 1992 all-star in West.....

David Robinson
Karl Malone
Chris Mullin
Clyde Drexler
Magic Johnson

5 Dream Team I memebers were in the starting lineup.
Clyde Drexler and Magic Johnson (starting backcourt) gave you 47 points, 14 rebounds, 14 assists and Magic Johnson shot 3 back-to-back 3 pointers in the last mins. (guarded by Jordan and Isiah Thomas)
and the West boom East 153-113!!

this should be the dream West team... the dream west team is not the one in this year.. sorry about it....

now this is a really really really SICK lineup, if i remember right mullin also a really good 3pts shooter

Ticat

actually i think u both right, bro wai214 think this yrs west lineup is the best in 10 yrs, and i agree with him,
and bro brightlee lineup is at 1992, so it kind of not in the 10 year range
but the 1992 lineup is better than this year, my all time favor playing PG

brightlee

yes, I was shocked when I watched that all-star game in 1992 (this is the first NBA all-star game I watched it in my life....)
and these 5 were really big.... .. (yes not the tallest, but really big)
Magic, 6"9'
Drexler, 6"7'
Mullin, 6"7'
Malone. 6'9
Robinson, 7'1'

and these guys.. can play slams, fast break, 3 pts.... midrange (Robinson, Malone,....)
that's a horrible team I have seen so far in my life. (of cos except Dream Team I)

brightlee

if we say about anylife for West in this 10 yrs, yes, this year is the best starting lineup.. but poor them.. they lost to East....

herothree

haha
i'm very very happy!!!
(coz u guys should know by now that i a fan of the EAST and carter)(haha)

anyway...
umm...
that 92 west lineup...is...as ticat said....SICK....wow....i didn't watch ball back then...
but...it's just too scary to see all those 5 guys on the someteam at once...
LOW B....

brightlee

I can find out that game now (1992).. downloading in this moment!!!!!!

wai214

hey guys upload it once you have it!!!!
Thanks in advance...

but I just think the West is not for real...look at the minutes TD 16mins, Yao and T-Mac 24 a piece...

its more like a show than a game...everyone just want to save up the energy for the play-off hunting

well...how come you guys dont like the 96' lineup?  One of my all time favorite....

well...no offense, but MJ is not really guarding the other MJ...the game is more like a  farewell party for Magic

the East also has 4 DT I except Isiah who doesnt want to play along with MJ, so he was not elected into the team.

Guys lead make a virtual head to head comparsion...
