I am $1 from the team I really wanted. I'm going to go Magic and Michael since I think the dropoff from 1 to 2 is pretty enormous.

Magic-$5
Michael-$5
KD-$2
KG-$1
Shaq-$2(another dollar would have gotten me Wilt!

That's only 14 bucks, I've got a dollar left to develop an unknown rookie for next year.
Learned that from PC/JS

Would have loved to afford Malone instead of Garnett.

I gotta go with Hakeem, my favorite player not named Gary Payton when I was growing up

C - Hakeem the dream
PF - Duncan
SF - LBJ
SG - Wade
PG - Magic

Ball movement would be ON POINT!

God's Country AKA Cascadia AKA The Pacific Northwe
Magic - $5
Jordan - $5
Pippen - $1
Duncan - $3 (What a steal!)
Olajuwon - $1

I have versatility here. Pippen can play anywhere from the one to the three. Magic can play the one to the three AND play the four or five in a pinch. Duncan can play at the four or the five. Jordan can play at the two or the three in a pinch.

I also believe that Magic and Jordan are the two best players ever, so that should go a long way.

IDK how Duncan isnt above Barkley & Malone, Chuck was incredible, but Duncan is almost masterful.

Yeah, Barkley might have been the better rebounder, but Duncan is equal or better in every other way, especially in the post (and as a passer in the post).

Maybe Barkley is the better jump-shooter too. I'd listen to that argument.

Duncan blows away Malone in pretty much every category, too. I'd put them Duncan, Barkley, then Malone.

I really think Duncan gets knocked a few points in the media cuz he's a pretty quiet guy, his game if you're just an average fan seems boring, he doesn't do flash, but everything he does is so beautiful lol. I really like Duncan, its just a shame Manu Ginobili is his team mate, I hate that guy.

$14

I couldn't decide between Dirk and Garnett but I think Garnett was a much better defender earlier in his career.

All about that defense from my big men. Stockton can distribute like no other and I have two of the best to ever play Jordan & Lebron. Even thought about taking Kobe instead of Jordan if I had to save cash, Lebron was a must.

I see I got the same result as pmedic! Nice! Glad we're on the same page ;).

Unless Malone is on with Stockton.
Those two were magical.

They were, but they get no love from me.

my incredible bias towards them, makes me irrational.

I squeezed a 6 man squad out of my 15.
Stockton, Jordan, Durant, Duncan, and Hakeem. And I had money left to add Clyde the Glide for my bench.

Easy to pick..I got 2 of the greatest ever..Wilt-$3 /MJ-$5/Magic-$5/Pippen-$1/Garnett-$1..Wilt for $3-What a joke..Pippen for $1 -another joke..Garnett is worth a quarter but with the rest of the lineup he can just stand in one spot and stay out of the other four legends way...This team would destroy any finals team ever- I dare to say... :0190l:

Stockton $2
Jordan $5
Bird $4
Duncan $3
Olajuwon $1

I tried to grab one player for each amount. All five guys are excellent scorers, passers, and defenders.
