Greatest Jazz Starting Five

[sirkickyass]

I honestly don't know who I'd pick out of Stockton or Williams. History's on Stockton's side, but really, if the NBA still didn't allow zone and Deron had Malone...?

You'd have to play that both ways though and allow hand-checking on the perimeter.

The starting 5 that I submitted is the leading 5.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. Stock and the Mailman would have won multiple championships if they would have had either AK or Memo during the 1990s. Especially Memo. He would have had wide open three's all day with all the attention that Malone got down low.

Still. Could you imagine Jordan trying to get his game winner off being defended by AK instead of BRuss? Holy moly.

Why yes, I can imagine that.

I was looking at it as who's the best center for the Jazz, not necessariy who would be the best center combined with the other 4 players to make the best team.
With that thinking I would still take Eaton because someone would have to guard Jabbar, Hakeem, Moses, Ewing and all the other great centers in the Greatest Starting Five League.

Well I really can't see Jabbar, Moses or Ewing covering Okur at the 3 pt line. Eaton gave Hakeem fits but a lot of times Eaton was in the way on the offensive end.

HAHAHA. Oh man, that's actually the first thing I thought of as well.

But to be fair, AK should've been shown the bench for the rest of the game after the 1st quarter. He was ****ing awful that entire game.

Malone
Eaton
Stockton
Pistol
Dantley

There's only one basketball in this situation, right?

 

[Shad]

Malone
Eaton
Stockton
Pistol
Dantley

This is the best starting 5. That is all.

I'm hoping that ESPN takes these all-time greatest starting units and somehow simulate an entire 82 game season plus playoffs.

That'd be interesting.

Why yes, I can imagine that.
