I think you have a great all star team. However, I would have a beef with you about leaving out Shaq. There's no way Russell could ever take Shaq at 6'9". I would actually have Shaq as the starting center. He is more physically dominating than either Wilt or Kareem were, and that's saying something. Do you think even Wilt, who was very physical, could at 275 pounds stop Shaq at 345 pounds?

I've got to call you on this one. Russell could take on anyone. I don't think one person has ever dominated a sport as much as he did. Did the Celtics ever fail to get a championship while he was playing? Contrast that to the early career of Michael Jordan when he still had to go up against Magic and Larry Bird.
