@@MrMattThiele people like you underestimate dumars. Durmars is better than klay in defense and he is averaging 2 pts less than klay but in todays nba, the teamppg is 111pts while at the 90s it is around 95 pts which means dumars is a better offensive guy than klay bc he does not rely on his threes as much to shoot beause he still has the midrange, post ups, etc.
King Dino Dragonite in the NBA today though teams would 100% consider him less of a threat than the other players on the list. However Klay couldn’t be considered like that from deep and is impossible to help off, so I’d switch Dumars to the bench where he might need to do more offensively
PG: ‘13 Brandon Jennings SG: ‘13 Monta Ellis SF: ‘13 Luc Richard Mbah a Moute PF: ‘13 Ersan Ilyasova C: ‘13 Larry Sanders. You would win in 6 for sure.
Yeah how do you not have the guy that made the NBA what it is today in Curry? He talked about already having a ton of playmaking and scoring, but why can't you already have enough D? Curry can play off-ball and he'd be the best perimeter Iso player. Jordan, Lebron, and KD can't dribble like Curry, not to mention him spacing the court more than anyone ever opening up the paint for the other 4 guys... Like c'mon, Dumars over Curry?
@@mcfallen1657 I didn't imply that it was. If you're making the perfect team for today's NBA, how do you not pick the guy that made the NBA what it is today? That's all I'm saying.
Did he forget about Stockton? Dude pulled a Wayne Gretzky with the Steals and could shoot 3's well (45% in '95. Granted, only pulled 3 a game, but still.)
@@kobethegreatestlaker5324 I literally just explained how he's a 3&D player... Why does it matter if he's small? Look at CP3, DRose, Lilliard, etc. These guys are small and dominated today's NBA...
If giannis keeps playing on this efficiency all year long, his 2019-2020 season should give him a starting position... I mean the guy have (for now) the best PER all time.
@@pearlywhites3025 I know it's far from perfect, still that's an achievement, especially with the highest pace in the NBA to have the 3rd offensive rating and the best defensive of the season. That makes them favorites by far to win the ring ImhO. And Giannis is no small part in this. The never-done-before PER is the result of he making an incredible season, with all-time caliber stats in a short 31 min per game on average (because more than this isn't needed). The bucks are on their way to post a 70-ish win record while doing load management on their super star. To me that means a lot.
Not to mention his incredible defense. I would put him at center over Garnett any day. Plus I would take Curry (unanimous mvp season) for his super-spacing at PG even if his defense is lacking. Jordan, KD, Lebron, and Giannis can handle the defense no problem.
seeing kd bron mj prime kg and giannis on the floor together would be the most athletic freakish tall team in history and you really don't need a point guard with these 5 or a true center or shooting guard...they are so versatile..kinda wish he chose giannis too..like just imagine the passing lane steals helpside blocks and fastbreaks ...giannis bron kd mj can do like 2-3 each lol a night ..thats like 20 extra points in transition
no klay thompson would...before his injury he didn't need to dribble to score he can stand in the corner off bron kd and mj penetration and kg screens and guard most wings and switch onto small ball pfs and point guards we seen him and kd work before....hes perfect to complete this team cause he can hit a three take it to the rim and guard guys well with length and not speed...also he can hit fts late...and he always seems to play well in big games outside of game 7 2016 ...if you say dumars might as well say d wade imo..or kobe...both would shoot the three better and more in todays era if they started a few years ago obviously..they would work on off ball threes all summer...they were work horses to get better and they just shit on dumars and you lose very little on d

I choose one of the best teams of all time 2017 warriors to start my team off I kept klay cause those three has already shown how good they can be.

If you got the option of Duncan, Hakeem, and KG, someone gotta be left out. Duncan is probably just a good as pick as the other two but Hakeem's footwork is more suited to guard the perimeter and KG is a defensive monster. I don't MDJ would mind switching either with Duncan though.
Starters: PG: Michael Jordan SG: Kobe Bryant SF: LeBron James PF: Kevin Garnett C: SHAQ Bench: PG: Stephen Curry SG: Scottie Pippen SF: Kevin Durant PF: Larry Bird C: Hakeem Olajuwon
Fran - This. Favorite players are: Hakeem, Bird, and Stockton. Those other two are just too great not to include. I bless you with fictitious karma points.
What would lbj role be in this team? I will take giannis next year over ad any year. Assuming next year giannis will be a little better from which he showed signs of imprkving this year.
2:02 there were more Free Throw Attempts in the 90s than today tho, both on a per game and per FGA basis, so I don’t know if we can definitely say that’s true
Before the video: *STARTERS:* Lebron - Jordan - Kawhi - Durant - Hakeem | *BENCH:* Klay - Pippen - Garnett - Bird - Duncan | *EXTRA:* Curry - Dirk Holy fuck, almost the same players, though our ways of thinking were different. Also, a team idea that I think would be interesting to see in the current NBA: Curry- Durant - Giannis - Dirk - Shaq
I really liked this, many squad builders are just the best players ever but I liked that you put some time into creating a team that work well together rather than choose all of the greats.
Hmmm, taking Klay over curry at pg? I get u prioritize defense, but playmaking and supreme ball handling seems important when pairing a pointguard with scorers like pippen, Kawhi, bird and olajuwon. At the very least I would've thought you'd have gone with CP3, with his all-defensive team defense and playmaking prowess. Either way, not a bad team, I agree with most of the players u picked.
My list : PG : Bron ('12) '12 Bron in this team will be more focus as a playmaking. Scoring isn't his main job on this team. SG : Mike ('88) As a ball dominant, I'll took MJ as 1st scoring option. He can shot from everywhere he want. SF : KD ('16) Same reason like MJ but I'll plot KD as my 2nd scoring option behind MJ, but will be the 1st scoring option from Deep. I'll make his main offensive as a deep range threat. I know he's money from Mid range but I need to stretch the floor since MJ's main offense's from Perimeter and Post. And, I'll move him into catch and shot type forward since I've got Bron and MJ as my ball dominant. PF : Bird ('87) Bird's my 3rd scoring option and 2nd option for 3pt shooter. And a great defender and rebounder also C : Timmy ('02) Tim main focus's in the paint (offense or defense). He can share the post with Mike and will be my 2nd option from the post right behind Mike. But his main job in here's defending, and rebounding. Off the bench : PG : Steph ('14) I chose Steph coz I need a playmaker, great deep range threat, and good defender. And he had a great off ball movement. SG : Klay ('18) Great defender, money from everywhere, and he is great at off ball movement. SF : Kobe ('01) Kobe's my 1st scoring option on this bench team. He can shoot from everywhere. I want to make Kobe more focus from Perimeter and deep than a post. PF : Giannis ('19) I'll plot him as my slashing forward. And his 2nd scoring option's from the post. And '19 Giannis's "OK" from the deep tho C : Embiid ('18) Same case like Timmy. My main focus for Embiid is on the paint (offense and defense). But, Jojo can stretch the floor. Not good 3pt shooter, but still on "OK" category. I got most of em is a good post player coz in case if my deep threat's slump, i still have another zone to scoring.
Great choices but I would still surprisngly choose Shaq/Wilt as the wild card. Someone who would punish small Centers in today's NBA. They can't shoot and can't guard ball handlers on the pick and roll but for certain teams, their dominance would be a beneficial trade off during most games.
Everybody: you need a good PG in order for your team to be good Marc: I'm just gonna build a team that has the other 4 players having the skills of a PG.
PG: Stephen Curry SG: Michael Jordan SF: Kevin Durant PF: LeBron James C: Tim Duncan Bench PG: Chris Paul SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Kawhi Leonard PF: Scottie Pippen C: Anthony Davis S. Curry - GOAT shooter, great team defender, GOAT handles, and opens the floor with his range forcing defenders to gravitate towards him at all times. M. Jordan - GOAT (on both ends) K. Durant - prolific shooter with extended range, GOAT-level scoring, huge asset on defence, and practically unguardable when floor is spaced. L. James - GOAT T. Duncan - GOAT big man for both ends of the floor, HOF-level skill assets, and shoots well to space the floor C. Paul - GOAT-level playmaker (just behind Magic), good team defender, extremely skilled on offense, racks steals, arguably the best PG of all time (IMO behind Curry and Magic) K. Bryant - see Jordan notes K. Leonard - greatest 2 way player of all time (besides from Jordan) S. Pippen - read line above A. Davis - great overall skill set, defensive presence with the ability to guard the perimeter, and can space out the floor with shooting Notes: I didn't include all-time greats like Bird, Magic, Shaq, Hakeem, Wilt, etc... primarily due to defence and/or shooting. I was very tempted to include Dirk Nowitzski but I refrained due to defence and I feel like AD is overall quicker which is needed for today's P/R dominant offense. I chose to have actual point guards in this lineup because I think the PG position is stacked with great talent (i.e. Curry with his shooting). But since most point guards lack defensive abilities I refrained from guards like Kyrie, Iverson, Nash, etc... And a couple of runner-ups that could be used to fill out this lineup into a full 13-man roster: K. Thompson - runner-up for GOAT shooter, great perimeter defence, good length to cover a multitude of positions D. Nowitzski - essentially A.D but with inferior athletic and defensive skills J. Harden - ELITE scorer, mediocre defence, great playmaking ability, floor spacing; an overall good option for any guard position
In my opinion, in a real basketball game with rules and refs, not pickup, this is my all time starting 5. Pg. Lebron James Sg. Klay Thompson Sf. Kawhi Leonard Pf. Kevin Durant C. Hakeem Olajuwon Lebron is the only one who needs the ball, who has all time iq vision athlete passer and has a size advantage over any point guard. Klay is a 3 and d player, top 3 3 point shooter ever, very underrated defender, 6’6/6’7, doesn’t need the ball, can play off ball greatly, but can go off for 30 at any time. Kawhi is a top 5 on ball defender of all time, 25 point game scorer in prime, doesn’t need the ball and can play off ball, shoot 40% from 3 in prime, can guard anyone. Kd is the most unguardable player ever, 6’10, can shoot over anyone, can score anywhere on the court, underrated rim protector, doesn’t need the ball and can play off ball. Hakeem is the most skilled post player off all time, all time leader in blocked shots, has 30 post moves with the dream shake, he runs like a gazelle, he was the best center in the decade with arguably the most talented centers with Shaquille O’Neal, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo mourning, dikembe Mutombo, can also make a midrange wide open if needed but it won’t be. Overall, 5 defenders, 1 person who needs the ball, dominant point guard, 3 people who shoot 40% from 3 at prime and can play off ball, best 1 on 1 player ever, most unguardable post player ever. And especially how this era plays basketball, this is a hard team to beat.
@@xxmythxx956 giannis kg and hakeem is a nice debate imo at c in today's nba...all three of them do so much its a great debate..i would say giannis or hakeem but both have clear flaws that kg doesn't...
Dynamis Yea Curry is a better shooter (43.6% from 3), but stockton was so much better and defending and wasn’t a terrible shooter for his day (38% from 3)
@@sl1ck557 you have a point but curry is shooting a lot more than Stockton, Stockton isn't bad but curry is a much better 3 point shooter, the point im trying to make is that this team doesn't need anymore defense, it already has 4 outstanding defenders from 1 to 4 and Curry is not that bad of a defender. He's below average maybe but not that bad. This team lacks 3 pt shooting. LeBron is super inconsistent with 3s. MJ doesn't shoot them often, Tim would play inside the arc because there is no other glass cleaner in the team, Durant is good but 1 shooter isn't enough.
Dynamis I agree. Especially if this team is playing in the modern NBA Curry would be have all the space in the world to get shots off. Also I guess I really don’t need two players playing point like LeBron and Stockton would. Curry is really good off the ball for a Point Guard. I’m just a more defensive minded guy.
The best counter I can think of is: PG: Steph Curry (Gaurds Joe) SG: Kobe (Gaurds MJ) SF: Kawhi (Gaurds Lebron) PF: AD (Gaurds KD) C: Shaq (Gaurds KG) Does this team stand a chance?
I put Giannis as my back up PF with Davis as the 5. A double screen with him and Davis where Giannis either slips or rolls and Davis fades to the 3 point line would be unstoppable. Especially when my ball handlers are Tracy and Pippen off the bench.
I love seeing new names on lists like these. KG and Dumars are basically never brought up in conversations like this, and the explanations are really solid.
Was going to comment that you should have put Klay in, but then you had him in the second lineup, great defender in the modern NBA, hard to say if Dumar would be. Payton might have been a better choice than Dumar, but then I'm from Seattle so Washington's Klay and Sonic's Payton speaks to me. Good lineup.
Dman Productions People forget the games klay doesn’t show up in in the 2016 finals he was horrendous and generally struggles in the finals with the exception of game 6. I’m a warriors fan so I do watch all the games
I have similar views on this subject. Personally though, I would put Klay in the starting Lineup with Durant for maximum shooting around MJ and Lebron, basically double down on tall perimeter defence for the bench and I'll go with: PG: Michael Jordan (any 1990-93) SG: Klay Thompson (2017) SF: Kevin Durant (2016) PF: LeBron James (2012) C: Kevin Garnett (2006?) PG: Scottie Pippen (1993?) SG: Kobe Bryant (2006) SF: Kawhi Leonard (DPOY year) PF: Ron Artest (DPOY year) C: Hakeem Olajuwon (1995)
@@swpdisciple Not enough shooting? Even though Kawhi shot about 50% from 3 that season (mostly on catch and shoots). Pippen and Artest were both average to above average 3 point shooters in their eras, and Miami Lebron was a good 3 point shooter. Not really sure how you think the opposing team would force Klay to dribble. The team has Jordan, Lebron and Durant in the same starting lineup. Surely my team can just get the ball to one of those guys and set off ball screens for Klay?
This is a fun series. You could do: 1) Team of current acive players who would fit into the 80’s era. 2) all-time team excluding the top-20 players in the all-time scoring list (modern era rules)
Awesome team. KG is so underrated and we would see how much of a monster he is if he players today. I also think that maybe Bill Russell could be a good player for this team. Super switchy and could just play as a roll man on offense where he would be unstoppable
My all time team is Pg: Curry Sg: Jordan Sf: Bernard King between 83-85 Pf: Ron Artest between 03-08 C: early career Wes Unseld Bench: Lebron, R.Allen, Peja, Duncan, Shaq Curry would be our floor spacer/off ball psycho, prime Jordan and King are both 3-level scorers with a jumper who cant be stopped 1v1 by anybody in NBA history. Arrest gives another decent floor spacer, amazing defender and perfect modern small-ball 4. Unseld was a hugely mobile modern-style center with amazing passing, amazing defending, and a jumper. Think of him as an undersized Jokic with high-level defense and quickness in terms of playstyle for this team. Issue with this team is size, which the bench handles. Basically shaq and Lebron are there to get the other teams' biggest players in foul trouble and dominate situationally for short periods while the other guys provide niche roles that are lacking in the starting lineup. Then when the other team is forced to adjust, the starters will always have a favorable matchup agienst modern small-ball teams.
GodzillaFreak chamberlain is crazy fast. I have him as my 5. But he doesn’t have good lateral quickness. Magic there is also literally no spacing on this team. Bird is the only decent shooter on there and he should really be a pf and Russell should be a center. Obviously they r all great players. But in terms of modern nba u can build much better teams than that.
This was an All Time All Star Team for the modern NBA. Can you make a video for an All Time team of players that fit together for the modern NBA? Players who playing styles feed off of each other very well? And of course, someone to coach them, assistants included.
Dumars over Curry? I understand your point about wanting a 3 and D player to mesh your team, but I'm sorry, I would much rather have the greatest shooter of all time in my starting lineup, ESPECIALLY if we're playing in this era. Curry is the ultimate floor spacer and would provide Lebron and Jordan with open lanes for days.
His arguement is what's the point? You have all the offense you will ever need between Jordan, LBJ, and Durant. The modern era is ran by Offensively gifted PGs like Curry, it just makes logical sense to have a 3&D guy at the point.
Fresh C Jordan and Lebron would already have open lanes with this team. Why add a player that is weak on defense to make the shooting slightly better? They clearly don’t need stephs shot creation and I would argue that from a spot up shooter standpoint that Dumars would be almost as good as Curry.
@@willheartsill8322 you dont understand what makes curry great. Curry as a screener, cutter, non stop moving and standing at the logo with greatly increase this teams efficiency. Maybe dumars can knockdown 70% of his open threes, imagine curry. Mj i can understand having open lanes and dominate in iso. But at what EFG%? 50?60? what if opposing team has a kawhi or pippen defending lbj and mj 1on1? Yes they can score 45 to 50%. But curry can free them up just by setting screens and be the greatest decoy that he is.
@@Heartbrayk. imagine if mj and lbj is being d3fended by a MJ or kawhi or pippen? Sorry but they aint getting anything easy. Now imagine curry and bron pnr or curry offball screening with mj? Curry would attract double teams just by setting a screen outside the 3pt line.
@@Heartbrayk. What's the point? You don't think adding the greatest 3 point shooter and shooter in general of all time will make the team better? Curry is the definition of an unselfish player. He won't slow down Lebron/MJ etc. in any way -- he'll just be an extra weapon on the perimeter (putting it like that is an understatement) that defenders will have to close up on.
That's interesting that you put the special twist as being fit for the modern NBA. Usually, UA-camrs just list all the old hall of famers that many fans have never seen live.
dumars could get you 20 5 and 3 and 2 steals a block without trying..nice one...he was a 22 6 4 2.5 and 1 type player at his peak...he could do it all while shooting 88% fts 50% fg and 39% from 3 ..he is a better player then people remember..he could average 24-25 ppg
Noah Amankwaah Yeah idk how Stockton and curry would work. Its Steph Jordan Kd Lebron and Shaq for me. No other 5 is beating that 5🤷🏼♂️U just not beating them they got shooters in steph kd Bron could pull if he needs too and u got Jordan and Kd for pure bucket getters then defense down low and boards u got the miami Steroided up Lebron and Lakers Shaq. Unstoppable
PG: Steph Curry SG: Jordan SF: LeBron PF: Denis Rodman C: Tim Duncan Bench PG: Chris Paul SG: Klay Thompson SF: Kawhi Leonard PF: Kevin Garnett C: Hakeem Olajuwan You actually have to account for how the shots will be spread and how the player roles would look on the court. Curry and Jordan are the primary scorers, while LeBron and Duncan are both great secondary scoring options. On the second team, you have the ball dominant Chris Paul running the show with two great shooters and a great PF running mate, plus the best post presence on the team in Hakeem. Think lob city but with Hakeem and Garnett instead of Blake and DeAndre.
its tough cause hakeem played in a easier era where there were less shooters to cover and less pick and pops and switches...he would not be able to cover like kg or giannis..his rim protection worked vs post up players...he was a bit of a mess as a shooter...i would choose kg too..he was just faster and its not like you need a true center anymore..
I freaking love what you did here...I agree nearly completely. Here's what I'd do differently, or, what you did wrong: 1) Move The Dream to starting Center 2) Replace Garnett with 2002-'03 Tim Duncan at the bench Center position. 3) Replace Dumars with Mitch Richmond (pick a prime year) 4) Add Steph (pick a prime year) as the team's 6th man, or 11th man, as it were. There it is, the actual greatest all-time team for the modern NBA.
Ok I'll try my hand at this with similar logic but none of the same players Pg: 08 Chris Paul- you opted for playmaking at the wing positions, which is more apt for the league, but I figure cp3 gets you passing, manipulation of the defense and good point of attack d Sg: 06 wade- could have been 09, but he was more on ball that year and carrying a heavier load which he wouldn't be here Sf: 74 John havlicek- great passer, great defender, the shooting for the era probably doesn't scale, but I think he'd be able to adapt somewhat Pf: 11 Dirk- ik not an ideal defender, but I need shooting, and the other bigs will help clean up defensive mistakes C: 67 wilt- my secondary playmaker, I think he still translates with his touch and athleticism Bench- 06 Jason Terry, 05 Manu, 05 Ron Artest, 17 Anthony Davis, 89 bill lambier
@@Max-lq4wh it's the modern NBA list, with all the switching. And Curry is a very good team defender. In 2016 he had the 3rd highest def rating among guards
Understandable, but in 2020 I think Dumars shutting down the opposing star scoring guard is slightly more valuable. MJ said Dumars was the toughest defender he’d played against (though MJ specifically said, “[...] he (Dumars) was the toughest guy for me to drive by.”) Dumars might have trouble with catch-and-shoot, but he’d be great guarding opponents who need the option to drive to set things up and generate motion. Though, you could just stick Kawhi or Pippen on the opposing guard and probably be just as good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Requiem for a Meme Also if were talking about modern NBA. Nobody represents that better than Steph. You don’t need your 1-5 positions to be lock down defenders anyway
Marc, I've been making NBA skits for awhile now, including one on how people argue about LeBron James and Old Heads in basketball arguments. I'd really appreciate it if you'd check them out. Who knows, you may even like them.
PG: '16 Curry SG: '93 Jordan SF: '13 LeBron PF: '88 Bird C: '65 Russell Starting Lineup would revolve around LeBron and Jordan, surrounded by Curry and Bird, two fantastic shooters who don't need the ball in their hands to be successful, and Russell, a defensive anchor who will grab every rebound, won't demand much on the offensive end, and is surprisingly athletic. PG: '03 Kidd SG: '06 Ray SF: '16 Kawhi PF: '14 Durant C: '02 Duncan The bench unit would be lead by Kidd, who can control the pace of the game with his IQ and toughness, supported by Ray and Kawhi, two of the best 3&D players in history, a guy in KD that can score in any way imaginable and benefits from great point guards, and a guy in Tim who always makes the right play, is unselfish, and like Russell will anchor the defense.
Killmonger 26 sure he was, but i think kawhi would be a better option ( put lebron at pg) or even klay, dumars was a great defender but hes afterall 6'2, id prefer an equally good defender in kawhi but bigger, or a worse defender in klay , but a wayyy better shooter

King Dino Dragonite in the NBA today though teams would 100% consider him less of a threat than the other players on the list. However Klay couldn’t be considered like that from deep and is impossible to help off, so I’d switch Dumars to the bench where he might need to do more offensively

If giannis keeps playing on this efficiency all year long, his 2019-2020 season should give him a starting position... I mean the guy have (for now) the best PER all time.
PER is still a very flawed stat, and the pace of the modern game helps boost his numbers
@@pearlywhites3025 I know it's far from perfect, still that's an achievement, especially with the highest pace in the NBA to have the 3rd offensive rating and the best defensive of the season. That makes them favorites by far to win the ring ImhO. And Giannis is no small part in this. The never-done-before PER is the result of he making an incredible season, with all-time caliber stats in a short 31 min per game on average (because more than this isn't needed). The bucks are on their way to post a 70-ish win record while doing load management on their super star. To me that means a lot.
PsyK Films His PIPM is +8, which is high stil.
Not to mention his incredible defense. I would put him at center over Garnett any day. Plus I would take Curry (unanimous mvp season) for his super-spacing at PG even if his defense is lacking. Jordan, KD, Lebron, and Giannis can handle the defense no problem.
seeing kd bron mj prime kg and giannis on the floor together would be the most athletic freakish tall team in history and you really don't need a point guard with these 5 or a true center or shooting guard...they are so versatile..kinda wish he chose giannis too..like just imagine the passing lane steals helpside blocks and fastbreaks ...giannis bron kd mj can do like 2-3 each lol a night ..thats like 20 extra points in transition

Less Switchable than KG on the perimeter
If you got the option of Duncan, Hakeem, and KG, someone gotta be left out. Duncan is probably just a good as pick as the other two but Hakeem's footwork is more suited to guard the perimeter and KG is a defensive monster. I don't MDJ would mind switching either with Duncan though.

Holy fuck, almost the same players, though our ways of thinking were different.
Also, a team idea that I think would be interesting to see in the current NBA: Curry- Durant - Giannis - Dirk - Shaq
I really liked this, many squad builders are just the best players ever but I liked that you put some time into creating a team that work well together rather than choose all of the greats.

Hmmm, taking Klay over curry at pg? I get u prioritize defense, but playmaking and supreme ball handling seems important when pairing a pointguard with scorers like pippen, Kawhi, bird and olajuwon. At the very least I would've thought you'd have gone with CP3, with his all-defensive team defense and playmaking prowess. Either way, not a bad team, I agree with most of the players u picked.

My list :
PG : Bron ('12)
'12 Bron in this team will be more focus as a playmaking. Scoring isn't his main job on this team.
SG : Mike ('88)
As a ball dominant, I'll took MJ as 1st scoring option. He can shot from everywhere he want.
SF : KD ('16)
Same reason like MJ but I'll plot KD as my 2nd scoring option behind MJ, but will be the 1st scoring option from Deep. I'll make his main offensive as a deep range threat. I know he's money from Mid range but I need to stretch the floor since MJ's main offense's from Perimeter and Post. And, I'll move him into catch and shot type forward since I've got Bron and MJ as my ball dominant.
PF : Bird ('87)
Bird's my 3rd scoring option and 2nd option for 3pt shooter. And a great defender and rebounder also
C : Timmy ('02)
Tim main focus's in the paint (offense or defense). He can share the post with Mike and will be my 2nd option from the post right behind Mike.
But his main job in here's defending, and rebounding.
Off the bench :
PG : Steph ('14)
I chose Steph coz I need a playmaker, great deep range threat, and good defender. And he had a great off ball movement.
SG : Klay ('18)
Great defender, money from everywhere, and he is great at off ball movement.
SF : Kobe ('01)
Kobe's my 1st scoring option on this bench team. He can shoot from everywhere. I want to make Kobe more focus from Perimeter and deep than a post.
PF : Giannis ('19)
I'll plot him as my slashing forward. And his 2nd scoring option's from the post. And '19 Giannis's "OK" from the deep tho
C : Embiid ('18)
Same case like Timmy. My main focus for Embiid is on the paint (offense and defense). But, Jojo can stretch the floor. Not good 3pt shooter, but still on "OK" category.
I got most of em is a good post player coz in case if my deep threat's slump, i still have another zone to scoring.
PG: Jimmer Fredette
SG: Donte DiVincenzo
SF: Luke Babbitt
PF: Doug McDermott
C: Cody Zeller
Great choices but I would still surprisngly choose Shaq/Wilt as the wild card. Someone who would punish small Centers in today's NBA. They can't shoot and can't guard ball handlers on the pick and roll but for certain teams, their dominance would be a beneficial trade off during most games.
Everybody: you need a good PG in order for your team to be good
Marc: I'm just gonna build a team that has the other 4 players having the skills of a PG.

S. Curry - GOAT shooter, great team defender, GOAT handles, and opens the floor with his range forcing defenders to gravitate towards him at all times.
M. Jordan - GOAT (on both ends)
K. Durant - prolific shooter with extended range, GOAT-level scoring, huge asset on defence, and practically unguardable when floor is spaced.
L. James - GOAT
T. Duncan - GOAT big man for both ends of the floor, HOF-level skill assets, and shoots well to space the floor
C. Paul - GOAT-level playmaker (just behind Magic), good team defender, extremely skilled on offense, racks steals, arguably the best PG of all time (IMO behind Curry and Magic)
K. Bryant - see Jordan notes
K. Leonard - greatest 2 way player of all time (besides from Jordan)
S. Pippen - read line above
A. Davis - great overall skill set, defensive presence with the ability to guard the perimeter, and can space out the floor with shooting
Notes:
I didn't include all-time greats like Bird, Magic, Shaq, Hakeem, Wilt, etc... primarily due to defence and/or shooting. I was very tempted to include Dirk Nowitzski but I refrained due to defence and I feel like AD is overall quicker which is needed for today's P/R dominant offense. I chose to have actual point guards in this lineup because I think the PG position is stacked with great talent (i.e. Curry with his shooting). But since most point guards lack defensive abilities I refrained from guards like Kyrie, Iverson, Nash, etc...
And a couple of runner-ups that could be used to fill out this lineup into a full 13-man roster:
K. Thompson - runner-up for GOAT shooter, great perimeter defence, good length to cover a multitude of positions
D. Nowitzski - essentially A.D but with inferior athletic and defensive skills
J. Harden - ELITE scorer, mediocre defence, great playmaking ability, floor spacing; an overall good option for any guard position
In my opinion, in a real basketball game with rules and refs, not pickup, this is my all time starting 5.
Pg. Lebron James
Sg. Klay Thompson

Lebron is the only one who needs the ball, who has all time iq vision athlete passer and has a size advantage over any point guard. Klay is a 3 and d player, top 3 3 point shooter ever, very underrated defender, 6’6/6’7, doesn’t need the ball, can play off ball greatly, but can go off for 30 at any time. Kawhi is a top 5 on ball defender of all time, 25 point game scorer in prime, doesn’t need the ball and can play off ball, shoot 40% from 3 in prime, can guard anyone. Kd is the most unguardable player ever, 6’10, can shoot over anyone, can score anywhere on the court, underrated rim protector, doesn’t need the ball and can play off ball. Hakeem is the most skilled post player off all time, all time leader in blocked shots, has 30 post moves with the dream shake, he runs like a gazelle, he was the best center in the decade with arguably the most talented centers with Shaquille O’Neal, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo mourning, dikembe Mutombo, can also make a midrange wide open if needed but it won’t be. Overall, 5 defenders, 1 person who needs the ball, dominant point guard, 3 people who shoot 40% from 3 at prime and can play off ball, best 1 on 1 player ever, most unguardable post player ever. And especially how this era plays basketball, this is a hard team to beat.

@@sl1ck557 you have a point but curry is shooting a lot more than Stockton, Stockton isn't bad but curry is a much better 3 point shooter, the point im trying to make is that this team doesn't need anymore defense, it already has 4 outstanding defenders from 1 to 4 and Curry is not that bad of a defender. He's below average maybe but not that bad. This team lacks 3 pt shooting. LeBron is super inconsistent with 3s. MJ doesn't shoot them often, Tim would play inside the arc because there is no other glass cleaner in the team, Durant is good but 1 shooter isn't enough.
Dynamis
I agree. Especially if this team is playing in the modern NBA Curry would be have all the space in the world to get shots off. Also I guess I really don’t need two players playing point like LeBron and Stockton would. Curry is really good off the ball for a Point Guard. I’m just a more defensive minded guy.

I put Giannis as my back up PF with Davis as the 5. A double screen with him and Davis where Giannis either slips or rolls and Davis fades to the 3 point line would be unstoppable. Especially when my ball handlers are Tracy and Pippen off the bench.
I love seeing new names on lists like these. KG and Dumars are basically never brought up in conversations like this, and the explanations are really solid.
KG gets put in conversation

Was going to comment that you should have put Klay in, but then you had him in the second lineup, great defender in the modern NBA, hard to say if Dumar would be.

Dman Productions He’s not more clutch than Steph. If you look at the numbers in the finals steph comes out on top
Yeah and dumars is small. That starting line up is better, tall and can switch positions on defense
Exactly I’m definitely taking klay
Dman Productions People forget the games klay doesn’t show up in in the 2016 finals he was horrendous and generally struggles in the finals with the exception of game 6. I’m a warriors fan so I do watch all the games

I’d like to hear more of your thoughts on players and how they fit into today’s NBA. You could even do a series on it.
I have similar views on this subject. Personally though, I would put Klay in the starting Lineup with Durant for maximum shooting around MJ and Lebron, basically double down on tall perimeter defence for the bench and I'll go with:
PG: Michael Jordan (any 1990-93)
SG: Klay Thompson (2017)

ogbmt not enough shooting on your teams. The opposition would just pack the paint and force Klay to dribble when possible.
@@swpdisciple Not enough shooting? Even though Kawhi shot about 50% from 3 that season (mostly on catch and shoots). Pippen and Artest were both average to above average 3 point shooters in their eras, and Miami Lebron was a good 3 point shooter. Not really sure how you think the opposing team would force Klay to dribble. The team has Jordan, Lebron and Durant in the same starting lineup. Surely my team can just get the ball to one of those guys and set off ball screens for Klay?
Great vid! I would argue that AD would be better than KG for that team...
I see what he was trying to do...KG moves better on the perimeter. Most of the other stuff is fairly even
This is a fun series. You could do: 1) Team of current acive players who would fit into the 80’s era. 2) all-time team excluding the top-20 players in the all-time scoring list (modern era rules)
Awesome team. KG is so underrated and we would see how much of a monster he is if he players today. I also think that maybe Bill Russell could be a good player for this team. Super switchy and could just play as a roll man on offense where he would be unstoppable
My team would be
16 Curry

Curry would be our floor spacer/off ball psycho, prime Jordan and King are both 3-level scorers with a jumper who cant be stopped 1v1 by anybody in NBA history. Arrest gives another decent floor spacer, amazing defender and perfect modern small-ball 4. Unseld was a hugely mobile modern-style center with amazing passing, amazing defending, and a jumper. Think of him as an undersized Jokic with high-level defense and quickness in terms of playstyle for this team.
Issue with this team is size, which the bench handles. Basically shaq and Lebron are there to get the other teams' biggest players in foul trouble and dominate situationally for short periods while the other guys provide niche roles that are lacking in the starting lineup. Then when the other team is forced to adjust, the starters will always have a favorable matchup agienst modern small-ball teams.

Dumars over Curry? I understand your point about wanting a 3 and D player to mesh your team, but I'm sorry, I would much rather have the greatest shooter of all time in my starting lineup, ESPECIALLY if we're playing in this era. Curry is the ultimate floor spacer and would provide Lebron and Jordan with open lanes for days.
His arguement is what's the point? You have all the offense you will ever need between Jordan, LBJ, and Durant. The modern era is ran by Offensively gifted PGs like Curry, it just makes logical sense to have a 3&D guy at the point.
Fresh C Jordan and Lebron would already have open lanes with this team. Why add a player that is weak on defense to make the shooting slightly better? They clearly don’t need stephs shot creation and I would argue that from a spot up shooter standpoint that Dumars would be almost as good as Curry.
@@willheartsill8322 you dont understand what makes curry great. Curry as a screener, cutter, non stop moving and standing at the logo with greatly increase this teams efficiency.
Maybe dumars can knockdown 70% of his open threes, imagine curry.
Mj i can understand having open lanes and dominate in iso. But at what EFG%? 50?60?
what if opposing team has a kawhi or pippen defending lbj and mj 1on1? Yes they can score 45 to 50%. But curry can free them up just by setting screens and be the greatest decoy that he is.
@@Heartbrayk. imagine if mj and lbj is being d3fended by a MJ or kawhi or pippen? Sorry but they aint getting anything easy. Now imagine curry and bron pnr or curry offball screening with mj? Curry would attract double teams just by setting a screen outside the 3pt line.
@@Heartbrayk. What's the point? You don't think adding the greatest 3 point shooter and shooter in general of all time will make the team better? Curry is the definition of an unselfish player. He won't slow down Lebron/MJ etc. in any way -- he'll just be an extra weapon on the perimeter (putting it like that is an understatement) that defenders will have to close up on.

You actually have to account for how the shots will be spread and how the player roles would look on the court. Curry and Jordan are the primary scorers, while LeBron and Duncan are both great secondary scoring options. On the second team, you have the ball dominant Chris Paul running the show with two great shooters and a great PF running mate, plus the best post presence on the team in Hakeem. Think lob city but with Hakeem and Garnett instead of Blake and DeAndre.
I was so glad when you picked Olajuwon thank you
Why not Hakeem at C? I think the points you had for KG would apply to the dream as well.
its tough cause hakeem played in a easier era where there were less shooters to cover and less pick and pops and switches...he would not be able to cover like kg or giannis..his rim protection worked vs post up players...he was a bit of a mess as a shooter...i would choose kg too..he was just faster and its not like you need a true center anymore..
Garnett is a great pick. 👌🏾
It's awfull, Olajuwon was WAY better even Arvidas Sabonis has a better case.
I freaking love what you did here...I agree nearly completely. Here's what I'd do differently, or, what you did wrong: 1) Move The Dream to starting Center 2) Replace Garnett with 2002-'03 Tim Duncan at the bench Center position. 3) Replace Dumars with Mitch Richmond (pick a prime year) 4) Add Steph (pick a prime year) as the team's 6th man, or 11th man, as it were. There it is, the actual greatest all-time team for the modern NBA.
Klay at PG🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He switched it Klay at 2g Pippen at the point.
Ok I'll try my hand at this with similar logic but none of the same players
Pg: 08 Chris Paul- you opted for playmaking at the wing positions, which is more apt for the league, but I figure cp3 gets you passing, manipulation of the defense and good point of attack d
Sg: 06 wade- could have been 09, but he was more on ball that year and carrying a heavier load which he wouldn't be here
Sf: 74 John havlicek- great passer, great defender, the shooting for the era probably doesn't scale, but I think he'd be able to adapt somewhat
Pf: 11 Dirk- ik not an ideal defender, but I need shooting, and the other bigs will help clean up defensive mistakes
C: 67 wilt- my secondary playmaker, I think he still translates with his touch and athleticism
Bench- 06 Jason Terry, 05 Manu, 05 Ron Artest, 17 Anthony Davis, 89 bill lambier
MDJ: This is not an all time rank
Title: Perfect all time rank for the Modern NBA
all time team*** bruh
How did something so wrong get so many likes?
Great vid like always my guy!
3 words: Stephen Wardell Curry
Wardell Stephen Curry* and the reason why he isn’t there is because of defense
Max.Jokes 😂 u just ended his commenting career
Max.Jokes What defense does lebron play anymore. What defense does bird play
Koh Smoger 2013 LeBron dumbass
@@Max-lq4wh it's the modern NBA list, with all the switching. And Curry is a very good team defender. In 2016 he had the 3rd highest def rating among guards
PG: KlAy ThOmPsOn
SG: Alex Caruso
SF: Lavar Ball
PF: Brian Scalabrine
C: Mugsy Bouges
Coach: Manny Pacquiao
GM: Troydan
Honestly Steph is perfect along with those other guys
Koh Smoger bad defender
Understandable, but in 2020 I think Dumars shutting down the opposing star scoring guard is slightly more valuable. MJ said Dumars was the toughest defender he’d played against (though MJ specifically said, “[...] he (Dumars) was the toughest guy for me to drive by.”)
Dumars might have trouble with catch-and-shoot, but he’d be great guarding opponents who need the option to drive to set things up and generate motion. Though, you could just stick Kawhi or Pippen on the opposing guard and probably be just as good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tarlan Huseyn Steph is an average defender
Requiem for a Meme Also if were talking about modern NBA. Nobody represents that better than Steph. You don’t need your 1-5 positions to be lock down defenders anyway
defense?
I was stunned Stockton did not make your team. An all time leader in assist and steals would fulfill your requirement of awesome defense easily.
PG: Curry
SG: Jordan
SF: Bird
PF: LeBron
C: Olajuwon
Duncan would be a better fit than lebron. Ball dominant players are not the best for chemistry
i would go lebron mj giannis kd and curry...i don't see anyone guarding them...if we go kg i might take off curry and put on harden
Probably my favorite video of yours. Please make more line up videos!!!!
Marc, I've been making NBA skits for awhile now, including one on how people argue about LeBron James and Old Heads in basketball arguments. I'd really appreciate it if you'd check them out. Who knows, you may even like them.
PG: '16 Curry
SG: '93 Jordan
SF: '13 LeBron
PF: '88 Bird
C: '65 Russell
Starting Lineup would revolve around LeBron and Jordan, surrounded by Curry and Bird, two fantastic shooters who don't need the ball in their hands to be successful, and Russell, a defensive anchor who will grab every rebound, won't demand much on the offensive end, and is surprisingly athletic.
PG: '03 Kidd
SG: '06 Ray
SF: '16 Kawhi
PF: '14 Durant
C: '02 Duncan
The bench unit would be lead by Kidd, who can control the pace of the game with his IQ and toughness, supported by Ray and Kawhi, two of the best 3&D players in history, a guy in KD that can score in any way imaginable and benefits from great point guards, and a guy in Tim who always makes the right play, is unselfish, and like Russell will anchor the defense.
Dumars?! DUMARS?!
Evan Sieger dumars is good wtf you smokin?
Killmonger 26 hes good but there are better options
Edwin lam ehh yea, but dumars was a great defender
Killmonger 26 sure he was, but i think kawhi would be a better option ( put lebron at pg) or even klay, dumars was a great defender but hes afterall 6'2, id prefer an equally good defender in kawhi but bigger, or a worse defender in klay , but a wayyy better shooter
great list but you need a playmaker coming off the bench at the very least needs a Floor General.
You telling me Steph didn’t even make the honourable mentions?! You didn’t even talk about him WHY
Pandaku defense.
