Pippen/LeBron/Russell are much better than Klay/Kawhi/Gobert. So that pretty much seals it for me. Allen is much better than Cooper though. I also think magic is better than Stockton but it's also thee who has magic and he believes Stockton is much better so I'll believe him on that matchup. The benches are both pretty solid I like thee's a little more though. Which makes it pretty even.

I’ve always been on the record that Magic is the better overall player but Stockton is the better pure pg.

Kawhi Leonard won finals mvp largely on his defense against LBJ, he still got his points but he was less affective doing so, which is a big reason the Spurs won. Gobert would dominate in Russell’s era of 8 teams and a bunch of scrawny white guys. Lol, and would’ve flourished on those stacked Celtics teams.

Lol. You’ll find any excuse not to vote for me. Just like you’re to yellow to do the draft comp.

I believe I drafted Magic with Stockton still on the board. What does that tell you about what I think? I own you in every way.
 
I believe this message board overrates: Bill Russell and Bill Walton while underrating other players from those eras such as Elgin Baylor and Wilt, while giving LeBron more credit than other people receive such as Kobe, DWade, Kawhi, Steph, Klay. Yes, I'm a little bitter about my loss to Wes; I genuinely believe my team was better than his, but it is what it is.

Lol, I like Kawhi. Do you think he's better than LeBron?
 
Where in that did I say he is better than LBJ? Idiot. All I said is Leonard makes him less affective making his team not as good as it usually would be, he won finals MVP largely because of this.
You're reaching real hard in this one. Best of luck though, I think you have a really good team.
 
Wes Mantooth is the clear choice for me.

Magic is a better all around player than Stockton, but this is a close matchup. Ray Allen was really good, but so was Michael Cooper. Cooper really was a top notch perimeter defender in addition to being a good shooter. I think Cooper would guard his close buddy Magic while Stockton would stay on Ray Allen limiting his open looks.

After that, I think Pippen/LeBron and Russell are just better than Klay, Kawhi and Rudy in any era.

Thee could start Barkley instead of Allen which would be compelling, but Wes could also start Petrovic instead of Cooper. LBJ would run circles around Barkley while Sir Charles wouldn't be able to bully ball LeBron. Klay would have his hands full with Petrovic.
