1. couldn't agree more
magic, Kareem and Worthy.

Kareem-Bosh- this is a joke right
magic- Wade- wade is really great but Magic is probably the greatest point guard and could actually play center-42 points
Lebron- Worthy- I'll give it to Lebron but Worthy was no slouch

3. "Three Kings". Chris Bosh is no "King".
Edited on Sat Jul-10-10 11:52 AM by HughBeaumont
The vastly overrated Bosh, really, is the winner in all of this. How many open looks is that guy gonna get?

LeBron can't seal the deal without an adequate frontcourt. Of course, having a coach who has some inkling of what he's doing on offense kind of helps. The fact that he led the Cavs to the success they had with a frontcourt of "Z" for 6 years and a shot Shaq for a 7th speaks volumes for his gameplay.

Wade can barely get 50 wins without a frontcourt. People seem to forget that the 2006 team was stacked top to bottom; Wade and lots of hard rebounding, hard defending vets at their peak, including Shaq, James Posey, Udonis Haslem and Antoine Walker.

4. Chamberlain, West, Baylor?
Edited on Sat Jul-10-10 01:23 PM by Earth Bound Misfit
I know the Lakers didn't get a ring until 72 (without Baylor) but that's a pretty good trio IMO, HOFers all.

7. Good catch
82 - 83 76ers

Dr. J., Mo Cheeks, & Moses "Get The Hell Out Of My Way" Malone .... Andrew Tony too.

BTW The Big E Elgin Baylor would not have let D. Wade or Chris Bosh drive to the basket.
Did you know he was only 6' 5"?
