I'm a diehard Boston Celtics fan, so personally I'd like to not have any Lakers on my team but since we're talking hypothetically, I agree with what you said about Kobe and MJ. Cutting Steph was a hard choice but I assure you, I struggled with my choices.
The 5 players I picked, would beat the 5 you picked by 20 points.
*Magic Johnson and Tim Duncan not being part of the selections made picking teams tougher than it should have been.
Agree on Magic and the Big Fundamental. Both are underrated. I wrote a post with both but ended up deleting it LOL.
Also...yes Shaq is the most dominant center to ever play. He also was a career ~60% free throw shooter and in a close game you could play "hack a Shaq" defense at the end and hold them to about a point per posession, sometimes less. This is an obvious weakness when the other team can have Steph or a hot shooter and get 3 points per posession and pull away or win. Shaq likely could not run the floor like teams do these days either... I would go with a 2G, 3F lineup with big forwards that have good handles like Bird, KD, and Duncan. Guards Steph and Jordan.
