All time starting 5

[albanycuse]

From Kiyan. Swipe left for the video. “Whatever center they have I dont know” lol

 

[cusefan88]

He needs to brush up on his history.

 

[Brooky03]

Is MCW the SF in that lineup?

 

[Cuse99&01]

Showing his youth with those answers. Only one of his picks would be in the all time staring 5.

I think he named the only players he remembers that aren’t on the team now or the last couple years.

 

[Yeti]

Yeah my My Time starting 5 would be similar. The first year I remember really, really following was the Donte Green/Flynn year.

Flynn, Waiters, Wes Johnson, Jerami, Onuaku. Or something.

Andy Rautins, Rick Jackson, Triche, MCW off the bench? Maybe squeeze Battle in there.

The last couple years has been rough

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Dion as an all time starter even though he never started at Syracuse is an odd choice.

Fun question though. Gotta go with the following
Sherm
Moten
Melo
Owens
Coleman

If I was forced to pick a true center I’d go with Rony and replace Owens.

For sure. Like most other people of his generation, it’s like basketball didn’t exist before 25 years ago

 

[CuseSaint26]

Fun question…

Pearl
Gerry
Carmelo
Wallace
Coleman

Dion Waiters, Moten, MCW, Flynn come off the bench

 

[Brooky03]

We’re criticizing the kid a bit for not being a Syracuse basketball historian, but I don’t see anybody putting Dave Bing on their list.

We all have our biases.

How do you leave out Bing?

It’s one of those things where you can’t put players on a list that you’ve never seen play. Like how good was Bing if we Time Machine his game into this generation? We shall never know and its very hard to compare generations when everything changes drastically.

Exactly

And he obviously never saw me light up Archbold Gym during intramural. Legendary stuff.

Agree with that starting 5, that would be mine as well

 

[baggerbob]

You don't

 

[OrlandoCuse]

How do you leave out Bing?

I wasn’t alive so I have no context of his game.

 

[2B20Again]

Pearl, Bing, Carmelo, Coleman, Seilky

 

[Owens guy]

My favorite dunk team:

Dion Waiters\Stevie Thompson
David Johnson
Hakim Warrick
DC
Conrad McRae

 

[Red2003]

Not enough Duaney.

 

[Marsh01]

Bing
Pearl
Melo
Coleman
Owens

 

[Mstumpy50]

Playing the 2-3 zone
Coached by JAB
Studs and Shooters

Gerry McNamara
Dion Waiters
Carmelo Anthony
John Wallace
Derrick Coleman

The Boeheim 8.5/9

Michael Carter-Williams
Buddy Boeheim
Wes Johnson
Hakim Warrick

I am well aware of Pearl, The General, Seikaly, Owens, Poetry, Flynn, Rautins, Richardson, Grant, Battle, Hughes, etc. I think this without a doubt would be the best rotation JAB could ever have while playing the 2-3. Plus we all know he isn't coaching without Buddy so he is locked in!!!!

The corner 3 will be covered by HAK!!!! Before you kill me Buddy is the absolute knock down shooter this lineup could use if Gerry is having a tough day. MCW and Dion will play 34+ when they play those tough guard teams like the late 90s-2000s UCONN squads and the Pitino coached teams that Gerry and Buddy will struggle with.

GMAC/MCW/Dion
Dion/GMAC/Buddy
Carmelo/Wes/Buddy
Wallace/Coleman/Hak/Wes
Coleman/Hak/Wallace

Give me the JAB from 2008 until 2014 and this team is All Time!!

True story: I used to sneak in & play intramurals at SU when I was enrolled at OCC before transferring in (actually used to sneak into Archbold in general before being an SU student using the loading dock door/elevator entrance). I used some other friend of friend’s SU ID. We used to die laughing when my teammates would mixup my real name & my ID name all the time during the games.

My senior year I put together an absolute mercenary intramural team to try & win the A league basketball intramurals. I didn’t know a few of the guys all that well, we had just played ball together in open runs. One game, the whole roster showed up & we won by 30… We ended up forfeiting out because we didn’t have enough players to play in any of the other games. Haha absolute legendary mayhem.

You really dont need context. Probably the best player ever to play here
