Which Starting 5 Would U Pick? (NBA)

The early 2000's got the big men by a million; the late 2000's got PG, SG & SF.

Iverson - 30 PPG
Kobe - 30 PPG
T-Mac - 30 PPG

All, MAYBE 4 assists each; the late 2000's all average around 7 (CP3, more), they would work better together in a game.

I'd say it's a toss up on who would win; but the early squad without a doubt would dominate the post.

early 00s and 90s were the best NBA era, 80s was great too but not as flashy, however great basketball players that can shoot and understood the game. 

problem with nba these days is too many filler players, most teams are based around one, two or three players, the rest of the squad is just there for dirty work and little points here and there...so if their star doesnt have a good game or gets injured, they're done

How old were you in the 80s? Just wondering...cus the Showtime Lakers were about as flashy as the league has ever seen. The 80's and 90's I think are at least, the two most important decades for the NBA. The 80's with Bird and Magic turned basketball into an American passion....and the 90's with Jordan turned it into a global phenomenon. The 2000's have been really good, with the Lakers and Spurs really dominating the title counts. But I think if those two teams were in seperate conferences and trading titles back and forth...this last decade could have been AMAZING. The Lakers and Spurs would have become the Lakers/Celtics for the 2000's. Youre talkin what....9 of the last 12 titles have been won by one of these two teams.

I dunno. Duncan is pretty much globally recognized as the best PF of all time. Only Malone is ever argued as the best. Garnett is typically considered the 4th or 5th best ever...at MOST. Rankings always have Duncan, Malone, Barkley, Moses Malone...all above Garnett.

For a career, Duncan is better than Garnett in Points per game, Rebounds per game, Blocks per game, and FG%.  Garnetts carrer high in PPG was 24.2...Duncans was 25.5. And remember, Duncan has always been more of a "play within the system" kind of guy. Garnett was playing on average Timberwolves teams that he could fill up the stat sheet with. But still had slightly lower numbers than Duncan...we wont get into the titles and whatnot.
