Strictly 6’11”+ players in their current form as of the year chosen, not their peak from an era. Need at least 8, ideally 10 players.
Right now, there’s just such a diverse skillset among dominant bigs that you could have a legitimate team so long as they didn’t need to play against sneaky athletic lunch pail guys that would feast on steals
What year is beating this roster?
Jokic at the 1
KD at the 2
Embiid at the 3
Giannis at the 4
Gobert or Lopez at the 5
Diverse skillset Backups: Gobert/Lopez, Porzingis, KAT, Chet, Wemby, and more still that are worth considering
counting KD as a big is unfair, he plays like a guard. Give me 2002 with Duncan KG Shaq Chris Webber & Dirk
Malone should count if KD does.
Malone is only 6’9" so doesn’t clear the 6’11" requirement.
These comments got me thinking: what era would have the worst starting 5? Gotta be early to mid 2010’s right
PJ Tucker, Zion Williamson, Charles Barkley, Kenneth Lofton Jr and Glen Big Baby Davis.
The same teams, but last seasons. :)
Wilt, Hakeem, Duncan, KG, Moses.
Put Wilt at PG. Man can assist.
Kareem, Wilt, Hakeem, KG, Duncan
You did it wrong
It’s hard to read apparently

Picking gobert n Lopez over AD is certainly a choice . Especially when AD is the best perimeter defender n off ball player of the bunch and his skill set is most useful eith other stars here
97-98 Shaq
Duncan
Hakeem
D. Robinson
Mourning
Ewing
Garnett
I’m going old school. 1968-69
Wes Unseld, Nate Thurmond, Elvin Hayes, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain.
Backups: Willis Reed, Walt Bellamy
Nobody would shoot threes but they’d wreck shit defensively and rebounding.
48 minutes of high octane basketball. They would probably have good chemistry having played against each other so often and defense would transition to offense mighty fast
A few of them averaged over 4 assists for their career so passing wouldn’t be an issue. High fundamentals too and championship experience.
