Name your All Time Lakers and Celtics Squads

by **beau_boy04** on Tue May 17, 2005 3:27 am

Lakers:

Mine are:

C - Shaquille O'Neal
PF- Wilt Chamberlain
SF- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
SG-Kobe Bryant
PG-Magic Johnson

Maybe Kareem is not athletic enough to play the SF position, so realistically Elgin Baylor would play SF.

Bench:

Jerry West
James Worthy

Another line-up that could work wonders is:

C - Shaq
PF- Wilt
SF-Magic
SG-Kobe
PG-West

-------------------------------------

Celtics:

C: Bill Russell
PF:
SF:Larry Bird
SG
PG:Bob Cousy

Note: I don't know too much about the Celtics history, please help me fill in the rest. Thank you.

I forgot all about Mikan; I failed to name 7 reserve players for the all-time Lakers squad so he's easily on there. Can't believe I forgot old number 99...complete mental blank. :doh:

Patrixxx73 did the same thing.

Ceballos is the king....without Ceballos Lakers would have never got those last 3 championships :shock:

All-Time Showtime Lakers
C- Kurt Rambis
PF- James Worthy
SF- Cedric Ceballos
SG- Byron Scott/Eddie Jones (as a rookie)
PG- Magic Johnson

that is your team....

Celtics
C- Bill Russell
PF- Dave Cowens
SF- Larry Bird
SG- John Havlicek (more of a SF but he can slide in here)
PG- Jojo English

whilst they may not be the best teams that each could put up, this is where it's at 8-)

haha, you're probably right....however, my hybrid of Jojo White and Alex English is enough to scare the bejebus out of any opponent :wink:

Kareem
Wilt
Baylor
West
Magic

thats my 5 lakers. now as for the celtics

Russell
McHale
Bird
Lewis
Cousy

probably going to catch some grief about the lewis pick but that kid could play. he was one hell of a defender which i always like, and he could score. i am probably picking him based on what i think he would have done more so than what he did, but i am sticking with him.

by **iKe7in** on Thu May 19, 2005 12:31 pm

Hey...ummm....Wilt's a centre, not a forward.

SG- Reggie Miller
SF- Chuck Person
PF- George McGinnis
C- Mel Daniels

Bench: Detlepf Shrempf, Rik Smits, Jermaine O'Neal, Dale Davis, Rogera Brown, Freddie Lewis, Ron Artest

Now, for the Celtics.

C- Bill Russell
PF- Kevin McHale

PG- Bob Cousy

Havlicek (wasnt he a PF? A lot of people are listing him as a guard)

The 6-5 Boston Celtics star was a perpetual-motion machine, a human dynamo who was legendary for wearing out opponents with his relentless baseline-to-baseline efforts. A star at both forward and guard, Havlicek's versatility made him perhaps the finest all-around player in the history of the NBA, according to Sports Illustrated.

That of course is true in a sense. Ceballos was traded to Phoenix in 1997 for Robert Horry who proved to be a key player in that threepeat.

by **The X** on Fri May 20, 2005 8:15 pm

^^^ my point exactly....

I haven't supported an NBA team passionately since that trade
