It wouldn't be close. And Lebron has to be on the bench at least.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I have to agree with others it wouldn't be close;

No need to adjust the Euro's as the score would be the same, but for the US guys I would make a few adjustments.

Larry Bird instead of Malone
John Stockton instead of West
Kareem Abdul Jabbar instead of Olajuwon

For the record, I'm not a South Beach hater, but I would have Durant before LeBron any day of the week, but both have a ways to go yet to have the careers of these guys above.

So you'd take say, Barkley over Lebron?

I would make the NBA starters:

Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Kevin Durant
LeBron James
Kareem Abdul. Jabbar

What 5 can stop this team from scoring? Even with LBJ in the 4 spot, how does anyone really score on them?

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

It's not always about scoring, it does no good for you to score 100 points if you allow the other team to score 101. Everyone I picked from Team NBA were good offensive players and phenomenal defensive players and their game compliment each other. People don't' give Russell credit because he didn't score a lot but he knew he didn't need to. LeBron James playing in the 80's era or the 70's would have been average. The enforcers on the floor would have pounded him left and right and he would have become like a quarterback who gets sacked too often. Olajuwon can hit threes often enough to get any 5 pulled out lane enough and he is one of the best passing centers ever. Kareem has game but for him to be effective he always needed a good guard. Olajuwon game really makes it so much easier for a guard like Magic and Michael to wreck havoc. The Big O is a tougher LeBron James with better court vision. I like Durant but he still has a way to go before he can be with Magic and Michael
