PG- Magic Johnson Lakers- This one was harder then most people think. It came down to Magic and the Answer Allen Iverson but I chose Magic cause of his impeccable playmaking ability. His ability to create in the open court is just a thing of art. His size (6-9) at the point guard position and his ability to see the court as good as anyone ever is the reason he's my PG. SG- Michael Jordan Bulls- HMMMMMMM I wonder who I can i have play the 2? hmmmmm. Yeah the GOAT, his airness, MJ is my 2 guard. Need i say more? SF- LeBron James Cavaliers- Another tough decision as it came down to LBJ and Larry Bird, but I went with LBJ. The most gifted player in league history has everything you want in a player. Size, passing ability, ability to score anywhere on the court. The transition game to go along with Magic would be a thing of beauty. PF- Tim Duncan Spurs- Mr Fundamental will go down in most and definitely my opinion as the best PF to ever suit up. He might be the best rim protector ...
