If you made a team of only bigs from any year, which year could beat 2023-24? (alien.top)

Strictly 6’11”+ players in their current form as of the year chosen, not their peak from an era. Need at least 8, ideally 10 players.

Right now, there’s just such a diverse skillset among dominant bigs that you could have a legitimate team so long as they didn’t need to play against sneaky athletic lunch pail guys that would feast on steals

What year is beating this roster?

Jokic at the 1

KD at the 2

Embiid at the 3

Giannis at the 4

Gobert or Lopez at the 5

Diverse skillset Backups: Gobert/Lopez, Porzingis, KAT, Chet, Wemby, and more still that are worth considering

I’m going old school. 1968-69

Wes Unseld, Nate Thurmond, Elvin Hayes, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain.

Backups: Willis Reed, Walt Bellamy

Nobody would shoot threes but they’d wreck shit defensively and rebounding.

48 minutes of high octane basketball. They would probably have good chemistry having played against each other so often and defense would transition to offense mighty fast

A few of them averaged over 4 assists for their career so passing wouldn’t be an issue. High fundamentals too and championship experience.
