I like these things, but there should be a different section on the forum for it. I come to this section looking for Raptors threads, not which made up team is better.

It's August. I can assure you that no Raptors news is being bumped.

I think the 'Jordan wins anything he plays' narrative is a way overblown. Sure, he won six titles, but he also never put down a transcendent star in their prime. He beat Magic at the end of his career, he beat a young Shaq, and then you're talking about guys like Drexler, Barkley, Ewing, Payton, Kemp, Stockton, Malone - great players, obviously, but in terms competition, a notch below the highest level.

The Jordan team here I think just lacks spacing. You have twin towers, Duncan and Moses, I want as much 3pt shooting around them as possible, you also have a backcourt of Payton and Jordan, I want as much 3pt shooting around them as possible, to let them go inside at will. Kawhi can provide some 3pt shooting, but not nearly enough here.
Plus, Moses is a black hole who'll shoot over double teams, Payton doesn't have great shot selection. Jordan will (rightfully) be pissed and think that he should get some of the shots that they will take. And Tim Duncan and Kawhi will just be scratching their heads and wonder why they never get the ball back and ask where's Popovich.
