Cwebb wouldve ate as a small ball center in this era and put up Jokic assist numbers

ironically, Don Nelson tried to make him that in the 90s and he aint fukk with it

but i understand...those centers in the 90s were real fukkin centers..he wasnt trying to bang with Hakeem, Admiral, Shaq and all the etcs every night...

Mase (). Arguably was Dray before Dray. Maybe Tom Chambers, too.

Bibby
Christie
Peja
Weber
Vlade

That’s a beast squad in 2020 NBA.

Off the bench you have Bobby Jackson, Hedo Turkoglu. Didn’t White Chocolate Jason Williams also play on that squad? shyt would’ve been entertaining as fukk

D Rob in this era would be

A bigger stronger more athletic and durable AD

Imagine D Rob playing where the next biggest person on the floor would be Robert Covington

Imagine surrounding D Rob with 4 3 point shooters

Probably put up Wilt numbers

9 pages and not a single mention of KG?

KG would literally dominate this era. He's the GOAT pick and roll defender, he could handle the rock, was a great passer/playmaker at 7'0, could score decently on the block, was an elite shooter from 18-20 feet (meaning he probably would've extended his range to the three point line today) and could protect the rim at a high level.

That’s a fact I was gonna mention him.

Great post Bill Walton is hilarious

Penny Hardaway

Combo guards weren't super common in his prime ( which was before 97-98 ) so he was still playing as a pure point

When they let him shoot it in the Miami series he was dropping 30-40 PPG. He had great handles, post moves, was a good 3pt shooter, mid-range, etc. AND. A great passer. Imagine half of Magic Johnson and half of Kobe/MJ.

See what Harden, Westbrook, and Curry do now.

Also, TMac was doing pull up threes and hesi-jimbos before there was rampant spacing and pick n rolls
