The Bill Simmons Question. Aliens.

[jonathanlambert33]

The Bill Simmons question: Aliens have come to earth. They are challenging us to one game of basketball. If we lose they will destroy the planet. You can choose any five players, in their prime, from throughout NBA history. Who would your starting five be?

Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Russell

C Tasmanian Devil 
PF Daffy Duck

PG: John Stockton
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Larry Bird,
PF: Hakeem Olajuwon,
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
 
did i start two Centers? you're damn right I did. Shot Block City.
 
Honestly though there are probably 2 dozen different combos with great forwards and Centers that would be impossible to beat. 
 
But really we need to know more about this Alien team, Do they rely heavily on the 3? These are questions we need to know... 

 

[buzzy]

Yeah, let's get some astroscouts 

 

[dcpwner]

PG Stockton
SG Jordan
SF Pippen
PF Malone
C Shaq

 

[bosoxlover12]

G LeBron James
G Michael Jordan
F Larry Bird
F Hakeem Olajuwon
C Shaquille O'Neal

Shit, I'd even consider just trotting out that '96 bulls team. Chemistry.

Shit, I'd even consider just trotting out that '96 bulls team. Chemistry. 

Exactly why I put my team together the way I did. No one is getting into the paint with Jordan and Pippen and if they do they meet Shaq. Offesndively I've brought together possibly the 2 best duos ever.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

My goal was shot blocking & rebounding, assists man (Stockton), a 3 pt guy who can do it all as well (Bird) and a pure animal (MJ). 
 
But like I said there are dozens of combinations we could that would all be great.

How tall & fast are the aliens?

 

[Mexi]

Bron at point was a good call from bosox
MJ
Bird
KG
Russell

Kind of a weird team, but i want some running defensive bigs and those 2 run like guards

 

[MapleLeaf]

Dennis Rodman (He could rebound against 15 foot aliens and fight them)
Steve Nash (I trust him with the ball doing weird things going through holes and under legs)
Lebron James (Just have him in transition running getting alley oops from Nash and handling the ball penetrating to get open shots for Reggie and Nash)
Reggie Miller (Just shoot)
Wilt Chamberlain (Just be Wilt)

 

[CameronCrazy06]

C Tasmanian Devil 
PF Daffy Duck 
SF Lola Bunny 
SG Michael Jordan 
PG Bugs Bunny

 
Don't forget Bill Murray as the 6th man

 

[buzzy]

It doesn't really matter. Either the aliens fucking suck at basketball or they're fucking huge and unbeatable. So the little differences between the Earth's best players won't make a difference.

[elcheato]

Dennis Rodman
Steve Nash
Lebron James
Reggie Miller
Wilt Chamberlain

Dennis Rodman is more likely to be playing for the Aliens

 

[Pugz]

Dennis Rodman is more likely to be playing for the Aliens

thats racist, bro. koreans are humans too.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Dennis Rodman is more likely to be playing for the Aliens

That is part of the point I put him in there. He would probably be the reason we were playing the game because he befriended them so he would have to start. But I still think he could do his thing on the court against them

 

[MapleLeaf]

I would seriously pay to watch Steve Nash dribbing and running around and under the basket against the aliens.
Would he be allowed to kick it?
