Ron Mexico's write-up

I have 3 elite defenders starting to go with Dirk and a solid defender in DWill. Bill Walton will come off the bench to defend Shaq if he becomes a problem, Walton can body up Shaq pretty well. Shaq will be a beast on offense but on defense he will be a huge liability. He cant keep up with anyone on my team and will wear him out chasing players around. Prime Dirk is a huge issue to deal with. Plus we will put shaq in the pick and roll every chance. As far as the other positions go I have a pretty big advantage. Giannis will take care of Durant. Drexler and Butler are a huge advantage. As far as benches go I have a great mixture. I have a beast in Glen rice that can make it rain from 3 and one of the best shooters of all time Dale Ellis. Bob Pettit was the greatest PF when he retired and put up huge numbers. Including 50 points in the closing game of the finals against one of the best teams of all time.

Honestly Spy's team has so many head cases it would be hard for them to come together. This is a pretty toxic team Rondo, Hayward, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Bowen...

Starting Rondo, Artest, and Lewis in an all time tourney is death. Not even Shaq can make up for that.

I think you can make a case for Artest. Maybe even Lewis if the need for a stretch 4 is just that important and the rest of the roster is stacked. But couldn’t Durant just have been that?

Finally: Rondo is trash. I’m sympathetic to Spycam cuz he’s a great poster and usually is a step ahead of everyone on these things but I know that shouldn’t influence my voting.
 
Also; I would be wary of selecting Dirk in a contest like this, and I don’t think in most cases you can consider him a center. But interchangeable next to Giannis? Sure. That’s ****ing bad ***.

Then again... who the **** is guarding Shaq?
 
Super tough for me. Shaq would destroy Dirk and presumably Giannis if Ron tried throwing the latter on him. On the other hand, Shaq couldn’t guard Dirk. But I think you could maybe try Shaq on Giannis who isn’t a great shooter and throw Lewis on Dirk. I don’t know. That probably wouldn’t be effective either.
 
I think I lean spy because I think he’d basically be impossible to stop. Giannis or Dirk would likely get into foul trouble. And Shaq was a very good passer who’d have three really good shooters one of whom is a legit stud in Durant. Plus Dirk and Deron sort of suck defensively. Shaq was average I’d say. Maybe slightly above but everyone else there is pretty damn good or great.
 
Spy has more championship experience too I think. 6 guys who’ve won it all. Ron has just four.
 
I’m worried about Durant stealing Shaw’s thunder the way he dominates the ball but as I’m writing this I remember Kobe played with Shaq, and that worked after a few years, thoughts? I’m stumped on who to vote. I need help. You two idiots need to work for my vote.
 
I was just going to vote against Ron because of DWill but I remembered Sloan forgave him so I should too, so I’m stumped. Lol
 
Shaq is an issue for Dirk and Giannis to guard. But if the matchup is hurting me more than helping it's easy enough to throw Walton on to him.
