Hah! You wish.
Kareem would have Shaq for lunch, and while Rodman might shut either Hawkins or Baylor down, Malone wouldn't be able to stop either. Baylor would have matched him physically, and Hawkins would have glided around and soared over him. I'll give you Jordan as able to score on anyone. But he wasn't in the Big O's league -- Robertson once averaged a triple-double over an entire season, the only person to do so. Ever. And West v. Iverson...well, you'd be surprised at just how good West was.

Speed and power are nice. Today's players could out lift, out wrestle, out dunk and out sprint the oldsters. No doubt at all on that.

But you see, the oldsters wouldn't have to play in today's shoot-travel-shoot-travel-shoot, mug-'em-and-chuck-'em game. They'd enforce their will and make today's players play real basketball for sixty minutes.

And they'd destroy them.

I would have to ask who's rules would this be played under? If it was the bs era of today then I would take the guys like James,Wade,Bryant,Howard and Rose. But if it was by the old rules when you actually had to dribble the ball and not just look at a ref and say it was a foul for him to call it I would give it to the old timers.

The stars in todays league are spoiled way to much and it actually made me stop watching it, but I did love seeing the Heat lose lol
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

This roster would compete with any out there.. all Bucks or not.. 3 guard set with Oscar,Sidney and Ray would lite up any scoreboard, not that Pressey and Bridgeman couldn't tickle the twine as well. Sid and Pressey gets the nod as a starter because of their defense... as well as their ability to score.



PG - Oscar Robertson

SG - Sidney Moncrief

SF - Paul Pressey ( The first point Forward)

PF - Terry Cummings

C - Lew Alcindor (AKA Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)



Bench



PG - Alvin Robertson (albeit less than a model citizen off the court.. slimy even)

SG - Ray Allen

SF - Junior Bridgeman

PF/C - Jack Sikma

I am tempted to put Rick Barry on the team just to "watch" him shoot his underhanded FTs. AND MAKE THEM! I get so tired of professionals miss FT's. It is almost as much of a pet peeve as NFL players who don't have a frikin idea of how to tackle or MLB players that can't throw the ball to the proper base or hit the cutoff man.

Pistol Pete would be another guy to add just to watch him play.. dude never seen a shot that he didn't think he could make.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
