If everybody in the NBA went back to their prme for a year...

If every NBA player that plays right now went back to thier prime for a year while being on the team that they are on now, who would be NBA champs? I think Boston would win hands down, I mean it would be unfair.

[deeezyyy]

maybe the Heat, but good point with Celtics

but dam the lakers too..

hmmm

Boston would implode.

If Shaq could stand sharing the spotlight with Kobe, how would he deal with KG, Pierce, Allen, JO, and Rondo?

I think if the Heat had signed Penny as rumored then they would be the best team.

Orlando gets a ton better as Dwight would have great wing players with Carter and Shard.

1. Boston (obviously with a team of old has beens they're the obvious choice)
2. LA (Fisher and Artest become much better players, Kobe is the best scorer in the league)
3. Miami (no real change aside from better center play)
4. Dallas (Best PG and second best PF of the contending teams with Butler and Marion being much better than now)
5. Orlando

Not the best but I wanna give a mention to San Antonio with Parker, Manu, and Duncan obviously but also Antonio McDyess. Duncan and McDyess in the paint would be one of the best c/pf combos in the league, he was a really good and getting better until Aliens stole all the cartilage in his knees.

Also, there is no way in hell prime Shaq could deal with playing with Allen, Pierce, JO, and KG all in their primes. Too bad 'Sheed isn't there still or it would be even more absurd.

Boston would murder everyone....in a seven game series, only Miami might sneak in a game or two.

I don't get Shaq not being able to play with KG, Pierce, or Allen in his prime....the Shaq/Kobe drama was by most accounts, more Kobe than Shaq. KG and JO are excellent PF's to line up next to Shaq because they were great man defenders and could stretch the floor. Pierce is your perimeter scorer and Allen is right there with him in that department as well (remember he averaged 25 PPG during his Sonic days).

boston - shaq in his mvp prime, kg in his mvp prime, pierce at his scoring best, allen at his scoring best, rondo in four years, jermaine o'neal in his early-mid indiana days, current nate robinson, 2008 kendrick perkins...loaded.

lakers - kobe in his scoring/athletic prime of mid-2000's, current gasol, three-five years down the road bynum, mid-2000's artest, current odom, mid-2000's fisher, 2008 vujacic, everyone else stays the same.

heat - all players current, with the big men dialing it back a few years.

thunder - everyone adds three years. scary.

dallas - nj nets version of jason kidd, four years ago version of dirk, five years ago version of marion, two years ago version of butler, three years ago version of terry, everyone else stays the same.

magic - dwight in two years, vince from seven years ago, rashard from five years ago, current jameer.

The Celtics hands down.

Just on the court, Celtics. Too deep, too many weapons. If you're talking about for a season, with off-the court and locker-room stuff added in, the Celtics implode and half the squad is in jail. Especially if Sheed is on the team. It depends on who's coaching the teams, too.
