    C - Wilt Chamberlain (no, not Russell)
    PF - Kevin McHale (there, Finn*, I gave you one)
    SF - Larry Bird (there, Finn*, I gave you two)
    PG - Magic Johnson (he would come off the bench 'cause Steve has more hops)
    SG - Michael Jordan (he would come off the bench 'cause Cuttino's first step is more explosive)

    Ok. Now you're unstoppable.

    >> Lil Francis <<

    Killer line up. We would probably be
    a 7 year dynasty then. Imagine:

    PG - Francis
    SG - Mobley
    SF - McGrady
    PF - Webber
    C - Ratliff

    This team would kill every other team on the court, as long as they were willing to share the ball. This whole team would be consider the starters for the Western Conference All-Stars.



    ------------------
    "...Do you hear 'em? They're everywhere!!! AAAHHH!!!"

    That's what the other teams will be saying after being shellshocked by Steve Francis and Co.

    I think the perfect compliments would be:


    C - camby
    PF - Garnett
    SF - marion


    is there ANY faster team in the league?

    WOW

    the front court alone would average just below (if not more than) 30 rebounds, 9 blocks, 6.5 assists, and a lot of steals.....

    Our backcourt already averages 12 boards....


    Unstoppable baby....

    I think the best compliment is "You guys are part of what is right in basketball." Other choice compliments include "You are both good role models for younger kids," "You are alot of fun to watch on the basketball court," and of course "Y'all are snappy dressers."

    The "You look pretty fly for a white guy" compliment would not go over well.

    How about Take Mobley out and make him a 6th man and let Iverson start [​IMG] That would be
    unfair to the NBA lol.

    The perfect compliments would be to give them the perfect complements [​IMG]

    That said, I'd take Garnett and his all around game (and his youth) instead of Webber in the paint.

    Putting together a team of superstars is fun, but realistically, here's the best players leaguewide I see to compliment them. Remember a team of superstars will take touches away from Steve and Cat, and therefore really wouldn't "complement" as much as dominate.

    SF-- Lamar Odom. Can create his own shot, but doesn't need to every game. Gets the rest of the team involved, rebounds very well, defendes, etc. Great complimentary player.

    PF-- Mo Taylor. The big man scorer, inside or outside, that every team needs. He wants to be here and fits well. He can create on the block, create one on one when Steve and Cat get tired or in foul trouble, defend, and like Odom is the age to grow with the team.

    C-- Raef Lafrentz. A classic Rudy player, and I'm not surprised at all that we went after him. A young, athletic center who can run the floor, play in the post, and draw the opposing centers all the way out to the 3 point line is a dream come true for this team.

    While these other lineups make for great fantasy lineups, those often don't work in the NBA. (see Portland) As far as complimentary players, Odom, Mo, and Lafrentz would go with Steve and Cat very well.

    I still don't see a team that beats my "complimentary" team.

    I don't think your center stands much of a chance considering he's deceased.

    The others are just old.

    assuming people in their prime now I'd pick:

    PF: Nowitzki
    SF: McGrady
    C: Duncan

    If this were only possible

    C: Matt Bullard
    PF: Matt Bullard
    SF: Matt Bullard

    Just imagine Bullard with the block on one end (taking out the trash), throws the outlet to Bullard, who throws it upcourt to Bullard near the basket, who then throws the no-look (Stevie Wonder) to Francis for the two-handed-windmill-N'Sync-jam.

    One can dream.....
