Nice five...I'd have to put Lou Dampier on my first tho instead of Rajon and I'm not knocking Rajon at all.Dampier was a hell of a shooter and player for the Colonels in the ABA.

 

[Big Foot 275]

Im pretty sure Louie was the all time leading scorer in the ABA.

PG - Epps
SG - Givens
SF - Mashburn
PF - Issel
C - Davis

 

[J_Dee]

PG's the only position I had trouble deciding on and I went back and forth before picking Rondo over Dampier. On paper their overall efficiency and accomplishments are really similar -- from games played to PER and WS down to total MVP votes -- so the extra ring for Rondo made the difference. Ask me tomorrow and I might have Dampier though. :b

epps. you got to be kidding

 

[CatPhight]

epps. you got to be kidding

Need an assist man who can knock down free throws, since the other four are all scorers who can also handle the rock as well...not many had more assists than AE...criminally underrated IMO.

Was close to giving it to Turner.

Rondo playing with Mashburn, AD, and Issel? Are you serious. Rondo knows the other teams' plays better than they do.
