Early Shaq and prime Karl makes for a pretty dominant 80’s/90’s frontcourt.

Now I just need to fill in around them.

I don't know why I thought he could slip but I had visions of pairing him with Magic.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, C, L.A. Lakers



1980's Stats: 20.6 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 2.0 BLKPG, 56.6 FG%

Years Played in 1980s: 1980-1989 (10 Seasons)

Notable Achievements in 1980s: Five-time NBA Champion, 1985 NBA Finals MVP, 1980 NBA MVP, 10-time NBA All-Star, Four-time All-NBA First Team

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar absolutely dominated the game for two entire decades, and the craziest part is that his career improved the older he got.

When he joined the L.A. Lakers, Abdul-Jabbar became a player who was defined by efficiency, intelligence and hard work. While having Magic Johnson and James Worthy alongside him certainly helped him during the 1980s, there's no doubt that he could've carried the Lakers by himself.

Abdul-Jabbar will go down in history as one of the most cerebral players to play in the NBA, and as he aged, his intelligence continued to dominate the game

John Stockton



The greatest passer in NBA history, John Stockton was easily the best point guard of the 1990s. Leading the NBA in assists is no easy feat, and Stockton led the NBA in assists in each of the first seven years of the ’90s. He was selected to eight All-Star teams throughout the decade.

The star Jazz point guard averaged 14.9 points, 11.9 assists, and 2.3 steals per game, while converting an impressive 51.6 percent of his field goal attempts. Stockton was one of the most intelligent players to ever take the court, and his accomplishments prove that it’s possible to succeed in the NBA without being the most athletically-gifted player on the court.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Nice picks Thee. Both were high on the list, but I couldn’t pass up pairing Karl Malone and Shaq in this thing.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

When Ellis made the trade right in front of me, I knew I was getting screwed, just thought he’d take Stockton. Would’ve been cool to pair Shaq with Stockton, but Kareem and Stockton actually would fit very well, both are smart
Cerebral players. Stockton would do for Kareem what Magic did for Him.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I’ll put the rest of the trade details in soon
