That’s laughable.

Robertson led the Royals to the playoffs six times but never got past the Bill Russell-led Celtics to even reach the Finals. West, working with NBA legend Elgin Baylor, got to the Finals just fine but lost all seven trips, six of them to Robertson’s nemeses from Boston. No one was beating those Celtic teams kinda like Jordan in the 90’s. West might’ve gotten to the finals but he didn’t have to beat the celtics to get there.

Also Oscar played with a chip on his shoulder due to the whole race thing. He cared.

Fair enough on Oscar but not much of an argument on the other two.

The worm would struggle to play in the modern game. He would be a likability on offense.

Tmac isn't a winner.
 
Thank you!! Rodman was is very likable

One might argue, with the more spread out game, there’d be more opportunities for Rodman to get even more offensive rebounds and outback’s. He’s not a liability on offense, he would just continue to do what he always did, in getting more opportunities for my offense and continue to effect the game without ever calling a play for him, plus I don’t need too many hands in the cookie jar.

Rodman was great but come on man he’s a total liability on offense.

Sure, he’s not a scorer, but ever timehis man leaves him, opens up more opportunities for offensive rebounds and put backs. I’d argue that in today’s game he’d get more offensive boards and put backs. Everything he does more then makes up for his lack of offensive game from what he does on both sides of the court.

He would have more spacing if he was on a team with a big that helped space him out. He obviously does not have that on your team.

We can double Hakeem with two really good defending bigs. Both Davis and Embiid are on the same level of defense as Gobert. We can throw both of them on Hakeem and just ignore the worm unless he is next to the rim. Also are we saying that Oscar was a good shooter that could space the floor out from 3?
 
Isnt Stockton the greatest PG of all-time according to you TJF? So I guess thats an easy matchup against Oscar that he would win right?

I’m going to just forget that you said Embiid and Davis are on the same level as Gobert.

Yes he is, the best pg to ever play the game, not necessarily the best player. As far as pg skills are concerned, Stockton is the best ever and it isn’t debatable, but you can’t deny Oscar Robertson would be a huge matchup issue for Stockton.

Voted for TJF. Can't give you a reason why I chose him because I like these teams equally but I had to pick one.
 
Oof, this one was close but it looks like tfj is going to pull away with this one.

Well done sir.
 
A tough one overall but I like Anthony Davis over Rodman. This series could hinge on that matchup. Hakeem is obviously amazing, but I wonder how Embiid would do against him. I'm going to go with Stockton over any point guard, he adds a toughness that isn't apparent in stats. Kristaps can shoot the 3, but how does he matchup with O'neal? Sprewell was pretty phenomenal in his prime but didn't English score over 30 PPG at one point?

Man, this is a tough one. I'm going to vote later after hearing what others think.
