2017 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

Iverson and Carmelo.

Wasn't Iverson on his way to retirement at that point though?

What are some elite NBA players in their prime that got teamed up together and didn't work together?

I can't think of any recent ones.

I am off the opinion that you get the best players possible and great players will make it work. It's more role players that need to fit in. Look at the dream team, they seemed to work together alright.

But maybe I'm wrong and just can't think of any examples to sway my opinion.

First year of Bron, Wade, and Bosh. And those were good teammates too.

I'm talking about throwing 3-4 ball dominant guys together, throwing together obvious chemistry issues with no regard towards team building.

I wouldn't say they weren't successful. They made the NBA Finals.

I recall their first month not being great, then they started tearing it up.

Also think they lost because for some strange reason LBJ would just disappear in the fourth of each game, it was weird.

Successful in relation to their talent.

Successful in relation to their talent.

They went to six games in the Finals. I'd hardly say that was not a success, given chemistry takes some time.

I think the Miami team proves that you can just throw together any star players regardless of fit and they will work it out and be a great team. LeBron and Wade were not an ideal fit. They both were very ball dominate and neither was a great shooter at that point. It did take a little while. The stated rough but will made the finals and then won it all the next year.

That should have been the first super team

That team was a lot of aging stars. Malone was well past his prime.

I think it proves that if you have one of the top 2 players of all time then you have a great team.
