I don't know if anyone has seen this, but over at yahoo.com Kelly Dwyer is going through every team and giving the all-time starting 5 in his opinion. Basically it's stuff like a Pistons team with no Rodman, and a Sixers team with no Wilt. He's just goign by who he feels meant the most to each team. Would anyone be interested in a league where you had to take his starting 5 for whatever franchise you pick? Would a league where you knew the Lakers would be Magic, Kobe, Worthy, Baylor, Kareem be more or less fun than a normal franchise league?

Here are the teams so far:
Rockets: Murphy, Harden, McGrady, Tomjanovich, Olajuwon
Bulls: Rose, Jordan, Pippen, Deng, Noah
Wizards: Arenas, Monroe, Hayes, Gus Johnson, Unseld
76ers: Iverson, Greer, Erving, Barkley, Malone
Hawks: Lou Hudson, Joe Johnson, Dominique Wilkins, Pettit, Mutombo
Lakers: Bryant, Johnson, Baylor, Worthy, Abdul-Jabbar
Kings: Robertson, Archibald, Webber, Stojakovic, Divac
Pistons: Bing, Thomas, Hill, Rasheed Wallace, Lanier
Knicks: Houston, Frazier, Debusschere, King, Ewing
Celtics: Cousy, Sam Jones, Bird, Havlicek, Russell
Warriors: Curry, Sprewell, Barry, Mullin, Chamberlain

who the heck is he going to put Worm on if not the Pistons or Bulls?  Even as a specialist, he's definitely better than Deng & was much more instrumental to the Pistons' success than Hill or even Rasheed.

Nah, I wouldn't be interested in using someone else's opinion of an all-time starting five, especially considering how bad the sim would make some of these squads (Cousy, Jones, Russell & Hondo on the Cs?  Can you imagine your team's efg%?)  Not to mention the wasted usage.  nah, I'll pass on dumb dwyer's teams.

I just figured his mistakes would add to the challenge. Teams like the Lakers who are EOL gold, suddenly make me think twice.

Dwyer's a dick - I'd rather make my own mistakes

Yeah that Rockets team..ugh  In the old Gym Rat days I would never let that team go on the floor

interesting concept Rob - but these lineups are just bad. Not just the players or make up, but the selections and positions seem off.  Is Houston on the Knicks Allan?  Yikes!

I've never heard of  this Kelly Dwyer person but he/she obviously has no ******* clue what he/she is talking about... Rasheed Wallace in the alltime Pistons starting 5 is laughable...Spree over Hardaway or Richmond  (if we are talking RL & not WIS) is just as ridiculous, along with many more of his/her other selections.. It is sad that someone who knows nothing about basketball can get paid to write about it..... Let me guess, Cadillac Anderson will start for the Spurs...

Deng is another joke... Ho Grant, Worm, Bob Love, Bob Boozer, & Chet Walker are ALL better options than Deng.
