I love this question. I would have to go with your team you have 3 of the top 5 greatest players of all time on your team. Why you have the best center and highest scoring player on the bench I have no idea. Oh that would be Kareem abdul jabbar, his sky hook was unstoppable.
Magic is the greatest PG of all time Larry bird the greatest small forward of all time is sitting on your bench as well. You have the best team but not in the right order. Same thing goes for your friend. Shaq would shut wilt down so fast and easy it would be pathetic to see. He should also have Isiah thomas as PG and bench frazier.

The only way you have a chance is to put Kareem in the starting lineup instead of Olajuwon. Kareem was 3x the player Olajuwon was.

And Kareem kicked Hakeem's a%% head to head. Kareem was first team all-NBA over Olajuwon when he was 39 years old.

Yeah, I've seen Olajuwon scoring against Robinson on that play. But he's not going against David Robinson here. You think Wilt and Russell are gonna go for those silly head fakes?

Larry Bird was the greatest forward ever to play the game. You need to start him and play him all 48.

Still overall, a nice mix of players on these rosters.

Your friends team cuz 1. they have the best coaching EVER and their subs are better than sum of your starters

If you started Kareem then maybe you would've won but the blue team wins this round
