Message: [QUOTE="MCC, post: 305768, member: 145"] Interesting. Curious: why would you pick Stockton over Magic? I can't think of anything Stockton can do that Magic can't (was JS a much better perimeter shooter?) and Magic is 7 inches taller, thus creating huge matchup problems for most guards. Also curious as to why Russell over Kareem or Wilt? Russell certainly was the best defender of his day (no one else was even close) and the consummate teammate, but he really wouldn't bring much on offense. Yes he doesn't need the ball, but why not have five guys that can put up lots of points if needed? Not sure if Russell has the scoring ability to be much of a threat, which could allow annoying double teams on Duncan or elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
