The Game Everyone Wants To Watch: Team Jordan vs. Team Bryant
Team Jordan
PG: Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan’s trusting You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. to run the team’s offense, arguably the best point guard in the history of the game due to his crafty playmaking and ability to play and guard all 5 spots on the floor.
If the fans want a show, there’s just no one better to do so than the showman himself: Earvin Magic Johnson, a walking highlight reel that will always find a way to make everybody around him better
SG: Michael Jordan
Obviously, the starting shooting guard and team captain is his You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.himself, the greatest basketball player in the history of the game, and the most dominant two-way guard you’ll ever find on an NBA hardwood.
There’s just nothing that we can say about the Black Cat that hasn’t been said already, and he’s going to look forward to the opportunity to just give it to Kobe, the guy that he stated that copied most of his moves.
SF: Larry Bird
Come on man, if it wasn’t for LeBron James, You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. would be almost unanimously the greatest small forward in the history of the game, and one of the first guys to make the three-point shot a reliable scoring option.
Bird can put the ball on the floor and lead the break as well, and he’s as skilled as it gets when we talk about sending the rock to the bottom of the nets, so beware to keep him open while trying to double anybody below the rim.
PF: Charles Barkley
Perhaps he’s not the tallest, but he’s definitely the strongest power forward you’ll see, and his ability to take off and gain and maintain position over opposing big men make him a top-tier rebounder as well.

If it wasn’t enough, Jordan puts the cherry on top of the sundae with Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon, the most skilled and gifted two way center in the history of basketball, and the guy with the best footwork this game has ever seen.

Bench: John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Dennis Rodman, Karl Malone
Oh man, this team is just.. Stacked! For starters, we got the Utah Jazz ultimate duo of John Stockton and Karl Malone, a couple of guys that were torched by Jordan himself, but that was the closest to handing him an NBA Finals defeat with their dominance and great chemistry.
Reggie Miller is one of the first lethal sharpshooters in the league, so you know you just can’t live him wide open, and if you pair him with Clyde Drexler, you’re looking at a 50+ point duo right there if they manage to get hot.
If you want stoppers, well, Jordan’s obviously going to turn to two of the best defensive players in NBA history that also happen to have won Championships with him: Dennis Rodman and the Batman to his Robin, Scottie Pippen.
Finally, we’ve got David Robinson, the first standout baller in San Antonio Spurs history and a guy that can just fill up the stat sheet on the blink of an eye, being the last player ever to record a quadruple-double.
Team Bryant
PG: Allen Iverson
You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. may not be the best playmaker on this team, but he’s for sure the greatest dribbler and a guy that knows how to gain space to attack the rim or find the open guy to try and connect from beyond the arc.
Mr crossover himself already knows what is like to embarrass Michael Jordan with one of his crafty crosses, and he’s one of the most talented players in NBA history despite his lack of discipline.
SG: Kobe Bryant
We’re in for a treat when prime Kobe Bryant goes against prime Michael Jordan, being such similar players when we talk about their offensive repertoire, but also because Bryant focused three times as much in defense when he goes against top-tier competition.

SF: Tracy McGrady
Almost every single player that tried and defended Tracy McGrady can agree with the fact that he’s one of the most difficult players to stop in history, owning a never-ending bag of tricks to send the ball to the bottom of the nets.

PF: Tim Duncan
Bryant turns to the Big Fundamental to balance things up, perhaps the most complete overall big man of the 2000’s, an outstanding teammate, and the most hardworking guy you’ll find in the gym.

C: Shaquille O’Neal
And obviously, nobody knows what is like to play alongside Kobe better than Shaquille O’Neal, who won a trifecta of rings besides the Black Mamba and showed outstanding chemistry with him on the hardwood (not so much of it).

Bench: Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash
Team Bryant features two of the best point guards in NBA history in Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, a couple of very dominant playmakers that have been closely tied throughout their entire careers as teammates and rivals.
Also, we’ve got a couple of the most reliable three-point shooters of the past decades in Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, who also led the Boston Celtics to their latest NBA Championship run and proved to be a lethal duo from beyond the arc.
Of course, you need to give fans a treat for the eyes so that’s where Vince Carter comes to play, as you definitely know he’s going to demolish the rim with his monster jams as the greatest dunker in NBA history.
And last but not least, we get a very dynamic frontcourt duo on Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki, one of them being a hungry defensive monster while the other features his unblockable signature fadeaway shot as the most smooth scoring big man in the history of the game.
