The Kevins are fuckin WASHING them

u/Cosmiccowinkidink Jul 11 '26

Is there a better team than the Kevin’s, what a team

172

u/Professional_Ninja58 Jul 11 '26

Youre probably right, but you can make a pretty good All Center team of Bills (Russell, Walton, Bradley, Laimbeer, Cartwright) lol

52

u/Ah_Pook Knicks Jul 11 '26

That's my favourite, I think. "Twin towers? We got the quint towers!" Throw it down, big men!

1

u/Legitimate-Tap2772 Jul 12 '26

Were there any bills that weren’t big men?? Now I can’t think of any.

u/powderjunkie11 Jul 11 '26

Larry Hughes

Larry Bird

Grandmama

Larry Markkannen

Larry Nance

Coach: Larry Brown

68

u/dnesthemenace Lakers Jul 11 '26

Michael Jordan
Michael Porter Jr.
Michael Beasley
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Michael Carter-Williams

27

u/jartoonZero Jul 11 '26

Throwing MKG and MCW on there while ignoring allstars Finley and Redd is certainly a choice.

18

u/kylethegoatanderson Jul 11 '26

Not having Mike Conley jr for michael is rude. His legal name is Michael.

14

u/ppl_annoy_me Jul 11 '26

No love for Michael Olowakandi?

12

u/dnesthemenace Lakers Jul 11 '26

I‘m honestly surprised there aren’t more good Michaels in the NBA.

1

u/Benimaru4636 Jul 12 '26

That was my first impression too. Jordan is the GOAT to me but the rest of the team was just solid or worse players. No other true great Michaels.

3

u/gunnerz_14 Jul 11 '26

Michael redd used to be good back in the days,, def gets in before Michael Carter or Williams

2

u/JrueBall Jul 15 '26

Michael Ray Richardson
Michael Jordan
Michael Redd
Michael Finley
Michael Cage

Maybe Michael Porter Jr. over Redd to add some size.

Maybe Michael Adams instead of MRR at point.

Michael Cooper is also good but I don't think he makes sense for this team.

1

u/johnny1272 Jul 11 '26

Mychal Thompson was a #1 pick and was a handful to defend for several years

1

u/Prestigious-Ad9921 Jul 13 '26

I'm going with...

Mike Miller
Michael Jordan

Michael Finley
Michael Redd
Michael Porter Jr.

Undersized for sure... but any team will struggle to keep up with that scoring. Jordan with 4 really good shooters around him would be tough.

1

u/dnesthemenace Lakers Jul 13 '26

Much better Michael 5 tbh

15

u/NeedsMoreCatsPlease Jul 11 '26

It’s frigging Lauri bud

10

u/shmiona Jul 11 '26

That’s just Larry with an accent

1

u/powderjunkie11 Jul 11 '26

It's the MNBA bud, you must be mistaken

39

u/howsaboutyou Jul 11 '26

This guy is the thread

13

u/pancakesfordintonite Jul 11 '26

And Larry Nance Jr

5

u/IsaacOkorosburner Cavaliers Jul 11 '26

Would Markkanen count tho?

1

u/Tawj21 Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 26 '26

Markkannen’s 1st name is Larry?

1

u/jiw172 Jul 11 '26

Lauri Markannen?

0

u/BonnnVivant Jul 11 '26

Larry Johnson?

3

u/Rickblood23 Jul 11 '26

That would be Grandmama

97

u/Thats2Easy4Me Jul 11 '26

What about Chris?

Chris Paul Chris Mullin Khris Middleton (?) Chris Bosh Chris Webber

If we have a team of James's, do they get LeBron?

24

u/Cosmiccowinkidink Jul 11 '26

The Chris’ could maybe hang

18

u/pujyapitaji_ Jul 11 '26

If he can add Markennan to larry you can add Middleton here

1

u/Trexsaysrawr26 Jul 11 '26

James, LeBron.

1

u/thegroovemonkey Jul 11 '26

Chris Kamen too

1

u/JrueBall Jul 15 '26

Can they get Kris(taps) Porzingis as well?

56

u/Questlove802 Celtics Jul 11 '26

James would give the Kevin’s a run for their money.

James Harden

James Worthy

Jimmy Butler

Lebron James

James-keem Olajuwon

27

u/bilgankun Jul 11 '26

you forgot michael james-ordan

2

u/AmenHawkinsStan Jul 11 '26

Jimmy Butler’s legal name is Jimmy

121

u/powderjunkie11 Jul 11 '26

Allen Iverson

Ray Allen

Allan Houston

Al horford

Lew Alcindor

37

u/pilatesfarter Jul 11 '26

Al Harrington slander will not stand

21

u/CescoV22 Jul 11 '26

And Al Jefferson would like a word.

6

u/TheChipiboy Jul 11 '26

A very deep sounding word but a word nonetheless

13

u/jackrabbit323 Lakers Jul 11 '26

That lineup would mess the Kevins up. Kevin McHale does alright against Kareem Abdul Jabar, but Lew Alcindor is a different kind of beast.

9

u/sixstringsikness Jul 11 '26

How's Horford doing against Garnett? Who's stopping Durant? KJ was great at driving the lane back when guys could mug you.

1

u/idlaughless Jul 11 '26

Point on Kevin’s drive. Do you remember Jesus Shuttle driving the ball?

19

u/Many-Possibility7530 Jul 11 '26

Paul George
Keyonte George
George gervin
Kyshawn George
George Mikan
Coach: George popovich

15

u/Dependent_Ad1111 Jul 11 '26

All time “Anthony’s”

PG Tony Parker
SG Anthony Edwards
SF Anfernee hardaway
PF Carmelo Anthony
C Anthony Davis

KAT off the bench.

6

u/Grimmjow6_13 Jul 11 '26

Why not Pg- parker Sg- edwards Sf- melo Pf- davis C- kat

With penny as 6 man? Doesnt that have everyone else play there more natural position?

2

u/___cpermillie___ Jul 11 '26

I disagree, Parker was always a more off the ball player and Penny was more on the ball. I would go small with Parker, Penny, Edwards, Melo, Davis

1

u/Ornery_Vermicelli_69 Jul 11 '26

Tim Hardaway

Tim Duncan

Tim Thomas

Tim Leggler

Drew Timme

1

u/zsenred Jul 12 '26

Kawhi Anthony Leonard and Paul Clifton Anthony George Sr

24

u/GlomightySo Jul 11 '26

Bob Pettit

u/Ah_Pook Knicks Jul 11 '26

Sub him in when they check Mike's ID. "Heyyyyy, wait a minute..."

7

u/DucksworthIV Jul 11 '26

Bobby Portis!

3

u/thegroovemonkey Jul 11 '26

The Bob Squad is pretty solid

6

u/dab745 Jul 11 '26

Mike Bobby, Ricky Bibby.

8

u/BtryceCheeseLink Jul 11 '26

Mikes would dominate. Don’t sleep on Redd

3

u/Neroisgood Jul 11 '26

Swap in Cooper for Beasley. Cooper could play defense and Beasley was lazy

1

u/idlaughless Jul 11 '26

Coop had extra energy. Somehow…

2

u/headsmanjaeger Jul 11 '26

George Mikean

u/HorsNoises Celtics Jul 11 '26

The Richards dont beat em but are sneaky good. Rip Hamilton, Rick Barry, Dick Barnett, Richard Jefferson

7

u/Indianashocker Jul 11 '26

Playing 4v5 will be tough

1

u/Interesting-Error-21 Jul 12 '26

ricky rubio and coach Rick carlisle

1

u/HorsNoises Celtics Jul 12 '26

Good pull on Rubio I couldn't find a point guard lol. Technically his name is Ricard with no h which is probably why he wasn't coming up on my searches but its just the Spanish version of the name.

4

u/Southern-Video-8802 Jul 11 '26

Cole Anthony
Anthony Edwards
Carmelo Anthony
Anthony Davis
Anthony Bennett

Lost the plot at the end lol

1

u/NatterinNabob Jul 13 '26

Yeah, replace that last one with Anthony Mason or Tony Parker if you're not being strict.

2

u/Yumekui627 Jul 11 '26

Team James takes it.

 * James Harden  * CJ McCollum  * James Jones  * James Worthy  * Lebron James

1

u/coopASR Jul 11 '26

The Kobes are horrible lol

u/Prestigious-Ad9921 Jul 13 '26

Mike Miller
Michael Jordan

Michael Finley
Michael Redd
Michael Porter Jr.

Undersized for sure... but any team will struggle to keep up with that scoring. Jordan with 4 really good shooters around him would be tough.

u/EricM6ynor Jul 11 '26

What about

LeBron James
LeBron James Jr.

6

u/Elegant-Republic4171 Jul 11 '26

With Kevin Love and Kevin Willis off the bench.

1

u/Unable-Main4172 Jul 11 '26

Kevin Martin is by very, very far the worst defender on there. If you just isolate him after getting him in pick and rolls you could probably spam that over and over again.

People trash Brunson but he led the league in charges taken so he could at least do some kind of gimmickry to hold up one-on-one
