The Raven Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Shaq. FTs are the determining factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 I look at KD as being the one to sit. Everything he does can be picked up by someone else and defensively he's the weakest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Kobe. He and Jordan are the same player, but Jordan is superior, obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theguru Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Probably Kobe but I would be thrilled about my sixth man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkypete Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I can't answer the "who", but I will try with the "why". You keep the 5 who not only are great individual players, but they make the others around them better. You bench the one who is the least capable of being both.

Jumper_Dad Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Why would you not want both Jordan and Jordan 2.0 both in the game? MJ and Kobe interchangeable at the 2 and 3 would be devastating. Let LBJ run as a Point-4 with Steph spotting up or running curls and Shaq on the blocks. Defensively would be stronger than with Durrant in for Kobe or Curry, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnottieDrippen Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Bench KD. Steph and Shaq are both stronger off the ball. LeBron keeps everyone involved. Kobe and MJ are Kobe and MJ. I wouldn’t argue too strongly against KD over Steph if you’re convinced MJ and 2.0 are good with setting 60+ screens per quarter. Or KD over Kobe if you want a little more length in the backcourt.

I hate to sit Kobe, but that was my answer for the exact same rationale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16thBBall Fan Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Funny thing with those 6 five of them can handle the ball you might as well sit Shaq because if MJ and Kobe are on the floor he is never going to touch the ball anyway. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Anyone choosing Kobe to bench over Steph is no longer allowed to talk basketball with me. Thems the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
