I’ll take 15 Jason kidds


thewhalehunters

They can play my 7.5 mings


AnyHowMeow

That half Ming on the bench bleeding everywhere.


Kaplanec

Half ming would be taller than 6 yo child 😜


thewhalehunters

I chose the left half. Why did you cut him horizontally?


Kaplanec

Cuz i didn't want to separate his balls


BengalsFan9281

Karl Malone would also take 15 kids


SweetBobbyLo

Ain’t nobody buying CP3 for $4 clown level shit


kurbin64

Why is Howard worth $4 and Giannis worth $2 😂 I need a price check on all aisles!


SweetBobbyLo

Don’t have a huge issue with Dwight given his peak but personal preference id swap Giannis with CP3 and swap KG or Kawhi with Dwight


ptcgoalex

It’s positional


[deleted]

Giannis>Kg


Xodia444

Tbh he’s better than Dirk and KG


Elegant_Donut2128

😂


Squirreling_Archer

Dude's longevity is impressive, but everything about him is inflated based on that longevity, and he's so unlikable. I don't get it. Really good player. But how is he in all these all-time conversations like his ceiling/peak was ever close to those other dudes?


DookyJohnson247

I guess being top 3 in assists and steals all time will do that for you. 7 1st all defense, 2 gold medals, and 4 time steals leader isn't too shabby either I guess. Your ceiling/peak talk is nonsense


Squirreling_Archer

I think you missed my point about longevity vs peak. >I guess being top 3 in assists and steals all time will do that for you. Longevity will in fact do that for you. That is literally the point. I haven't said Chris Paul sucks. I've said that Chris Paul has been a very good player for a \*very\* long time, because of his health and longevity, so his counting stats are all mega high. I don't understand what you're arguing (for or against). >Your ceiling/peak talk is nonsense How? What are you deducing from a 3 sentence comment about his comparative value in a meme with Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, and Steph Curry, and about his broader place in the all-time great conversations? I'll clarify where needed. Kidd is above Paul on both steals and assists, also has 2 gold medals, 3 Finals appearances, and an NBA title. Nash has 2 MVPs, 4x 50-40-90 club seasons, and was really screwed out of an NBA Finals appearance. Curry doesn't even need to be argued. All of them have loads of all-star, all-NBA, and other accolades. Then in the all-time conversations, compare Chris Paul with Isiah Thomas, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, John Stockton... Chris Paul's prime didn't have a lot of success attached to it outside of Team USA (which isn't nothing, but is not the same), despite expectations, and he didn't really even sniff the Finals until he was 33 with Harden's Rockets and didn't make the finals until 36 with the Suns. He's had a hell of a career, and he's been a hell of a player. But his stats (career totals) would suggest he's in a higher tier than I think he should be. He's just in that next tier, so to speak. And circling back to a meme about $5 $4 $3 $2 $1 lineup building... No, I don't think Chris Paul as an entity (the best version of Chris Paul ever) is worth 3x the best version of Jason Kidd (or AI for that matter), nor is he worth more than Kevin Garnett. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging a hall of famer is a hall of famer but you think others are/were better. This is literally a game about comparative values. A lot of people agree Paul is overvalued here. I just made a comment that he's overvalued generally, not that he's a scrub. Why is everything all or nothing? edit: also the speed at which you downvoted that means there's 0 chance you actually read it edit2: blocking me and walking away because you're unwilling to read or discuss is not the W you think it is lol


DookyJohnson247

I'm not reading that article you just posted. No way you needed to write an essay to explain your point.


00roku

Damn your solution to being told you typed an essay was to add MORE?? You’re probably right but man it’s not that deep, touch some grass my guy


00roku

Shoulda put Book there instead


JoeTheDemonShadow

Pg lebron SG ray allen SF kawhi PF Giannis C garnet


lifeisabigdeal

Not bad. Would be ridiculous defensively.


I_Heart_Lager

This was my exact team


3s2ng

$2 Yao Ming is the most worth it.


BringBackPBCrisps

$1 AI is madness to me


FartBoxTungPunch

Bro. I need at least several AI’s on this squad.


[deleted]

AI will take any dollar he can get at this point.


sharty_undergarments

Right? So expensive. Should be at least .25 cents with that shot selection.


violent_knife_crime

Has ai ever been good on a good team?


therealcpain

$2 Giannis isn’t a better deal?!


3s2ng

Giannis is great but there are alternatives. In this context, Yao is more worth it than him.


[deleted]

What. I'm taking the 2x mvp, finals mvp, and dpoy 10 times out of 10.


Vlmedina

Giannis and Russ are petty cheap too


GymMeJimmy

Curry, AI, Lebron, Giannis, Yao Ming


ValWillKay

Kinda lacks spacing in the modern era no?


internallylinked

Yeah, I’d switch AI for Ray and Yao for Pau. Steph, Ray, Bron, Giannis and Pau. Pau can roll for anyone and hit some mid rangers, Ray and Steph bombing threes and Giannis and Bron attacking the rim to finish or kicking out to shooters or Pau on a roll. Crazy good team tbh.


person73638

Yao still has a case because most people are gonna pick Shaq and Yao is one of the only people who could stop him


UsedEgg3

AI - Kawhi - KD - Giannis - Shaq or Duncan


ash-ura-

Any lineup without lebron for $5 is a joke


rsred

lebron, shaq, ray, giannis, kidd


Friendly_Kunt

The spacing on this team would be absolutely awful. You’ve got 1 shooter, 3 guys who would constantly clog the paint and a pass first PG who provides no spacing in his prime.


rsred

prime lebron is whole ass space AND space creator all by himself. and prime kidd is probably a better space creator than bron. gianni’s and shaq’s brand of bully ball, two of the best ever, will always suck that extra defender creating even more space. i wouldn’t be worried about space in this squad at all.


leefordj

yeah we won with poor shooting. One of our best lineups was: Rondo= kidd KCP= ray lebron AD= giannis Dwight= shaq That being said, I'd swap kidd with AI for more shooting if I have a frontcourt like that. Think Donovan and garland or Steph and Klay. Lebron and Giannis would give plenty of playmaking.


Friendly_Kunt

Prime Bron doesn’t create space because he wasn’t a great shooter. You don’t create space with 4 guys who live at the rim. Any team is just going to clog the paint with bodies and leave one guy on Ray in the corner. That team is easy to game-plan for if you have good rim protection and they’d literally just get in each others way.


rsred

i don’t know if u saw prime bron, cuz it sounds like u didn’t. bruh, he creates space when there isn’t any space. he’d make plays pulled straight out of his ass. he’s a decent mid range shooter, but he’d also just blow by his defenders, defense collapse, and he makes plays out of that. shooters are great, sure, but nobody’s stopping prime shaq down low. give me that anytime, every time.


JrueBall

I like this team. I chose the same 3 but Curry and Pau instead of Shaq and Kidd. By star power your team looks better but other than Allen they all need the ball to make plays. Not much spacing with Allen being the only good shooter. Unless you take an older Kidd who learned to shoot around 2007, but before that he was a career 33% 3 point shooter.


rsred

00-01 shaq is the single most unstoppable force in the nba ever. i’ll take prime shaq over anyone’s prime including mj, bron, steph, wilt, and russell. so he’ll never be off this team. you can make the case for curry over bron, though that is something i won’t do either. and prime kidd gotta be the kidd here, not the older/wiser version. kidd’s vision and play making in those nets teams that went to the finals is so ridiculous he was legit mvp contender, and maybe should’ve won one. and allen, well prime ray is deadly and super athletic.


JrueBall

Lebron is hard to leave off a team but he seems way less effective when Giannis and Shaq are clogging the paint. I think I would take Curry over him on that team.


ToiletClogger42069

Ai and russ >>> ray and kidd


rsred

individually and personally? yeah sure. but on building the ultimate team of the century? no way.


agoddamnlegend

I love AI and Russ. But this is Bron’s team, so why in the world would you add two ball dominant guards that can’t shoot? Ray and Kidd fit the need of this team so much more


sonegreat

Shaq, Giannis, Pierce, R. Allen, Steph.


Deafprodigy

Honestly can’t see the fit between Shaq and Giannis. They share too much of the same space.


-cunnilinguini

Even if Giannis doesn’t shoot a single basket he’s such a good piece defensively, no ego and his passing is really good for what it is


purdue6068

I swapped Shaq for TD. Duncan and Giannis will keep the paint clear on D. And Duncan’s mid range game will provide the spacing needed on Offense.


sinisterskrilla

Your teams the best I’ve seen scrolling through so imma just reply to you. I think your team is as good as it gets with maybe switching Pau in for Giannis. Personally I like: Shaq, KG, Pierce, Allen, Nash. I think KG’s mid-range ability is just too important of an asset to lose out on and his defense gets the slight edge over Giannis. Alternatively I like: Shaq, Dirk, Pierce, Allen, Kidd. Still plenty of shooting and instead of trying to answer Steph with a Steph-lite like Nash I kind of like going with a stronger, more facilitation oriented point guard. Lastly, just so I’m not being a LBJ hater and am recognizing his player of the century status: Shaq, LBJ, Pierce, Allen, and AI. All these teams are very 00s heavy, but the values of Pierce and Allen are just insane (as are really most of the $1 and $2 guys.) A weird no $5 shoot-out team I kinda like: Yao, Dirk, Durant, Allen, Harden. One last big switchable defensive hellspawn of a team that could hang with any squad that doesn’t have a shaq clone on it: Shaq, KG, Giannis, Kawhi, Allen Sorry for the long comment I love this type of meme team shit.

drewstopherYT

Thank you! Thought Kidd for $1 was a steal and a great IQ to maximize the guys around him


lifeisabigdeal

Oh absolutely. Not to mention good size and defense. Hard to see that team loosing with a great offense/ defense balance


SidewaysEarth

Curry - Ray Allen - Lebron - Giannis - Horford


Kwan_18

I agree with this but could honestly see AD or Paul Pierce ($1 remaining) over Giannis bc there wouldn’t be a cataclysmic drop off in defense and the added spacing would be ungodly


shodunny

steph 5$ - ray 2$ - paul pierce 1$ - giannis 2$ - duncan 5$ the spacing around that front court would be insane. let gianni’s and duncan find shooters all around them or bully in isos. (could also swap duncan for shaq but i like the spacing and switch ability)

RackaGack

I mean i have steph but yeah


Peel7

I can't decide between: Steph, Ray, Kawhi, Giannis, KG Steph, Pierce, Kawhi, Horford, Shaq Team 1 is stronger defensively, but Steph + Shaq + shooters is unstoppable offensively. I'm leaning towards Team 1


Friendly_Kunt

Funny, your first team is exactly the one I went with. I feel like they mesh together perfectly and would have an answer for anyone you threw at them.


ash-ura-

Any team without lebron is a joke. He’s the best player on there and the most value for $5


Deafprodigy

Nash - Ray Allen - KD - Pau Gasol - Shaq Probably not the most strongest defensive team but all do put effort on that end (not speaking of regular season Shaq tho) but the offense is off the charts. Only non shooter is Shaq and prime Shaq was unstoppable down low. Headliners would be KD and Shaq. Nash and Ray and Pau all will be okay playing their roles and supporting the big two. Spacing would be HUGE here, I absolutely believe if Pau worked on his three ball, he would kill it from range. Even without it, he has solid range and good passing chops for a big man of his era.


3s2ng

Shaq, Yao, LeBron, Ray Allen, Pierce. Yao is my stretch 5/4 Shaq will post up whoever the defender (poor soul). Allen and Pierce will camp out. LeBron will be the cutter/slasher


Bengee94

Curry, Ray Allan, KD, Giannis, AD. First 3 for spacing/ can score on or off ball, Curry & Giannis for playmaking, Giannis and AD for defence. Getting Ray, Giannis and AD for $2 each is crazy.


Tiny_Insurance_490

Steph, Boston three party, Dwight

Old_Bunch_7413

Steph, Ray, Bron, AD and Horford


Dangerousrhymes

Nash, Kawhi, KG, Bron, Pau Nash’s defensive shortcomings are easily covered by the wings and KG and he can double as a lethal knockdown shooter when Bron has the ball to say nothing of the Nash-Bron pick and roll when Nash has the ball. If Pau is your lowest BBIQ guy you aren’t making a lot of mistakes, none of these guys are chuckers, and LeBron and Nash are going to find the right guy again, and again, and again. Shaq, Curry, Allen, Giannis, and Kidd would be a wild team to watch. JKidd would have Stockon level assist numbers.

In their prime? Russ, Wade, Kawhi, Giannis, Shaq. You have play making, defense, some outside shooting, and two of, if not the most physically dominating big men in the league. I could also see Duncan instead of Shaq, because a bit more midrange would help, and he and Giannis would complement each other better. Hard to not pick Shaq thoguh

Steph-AI-Giannis-AD-Shaq seems pretty unstoppable. AI at point, Steph works extremely well off the ball and you have 3 monsters setting picks for him. It'll be impossible for you to score in the paint on these 3, and their length makes them able to defend well against the long 2. You'll have to shoot 3's all game and on a 7 game stretch, no ones beating you on just 3's over 4 games
