Here's my 12.

Bird
Magic
Jordan
Ewing
K. Malone
Stockton
Drexler
Barkley

Nothing new so far. Now for the new guys.

Dale Ellis
Kevin McHale
Roy Tarpley
Dominique Wilkins

I just realized I probably should have included a college guy, but...

Probably used David Robinson and Danny Manning from college.

Alvin Robertson averaged 20 points/7 assists/6 rebounds/3 steals in 88.

Tarpley wouldn't have been on the squad because he couldn't pass a piss test.

Alex English over Dale Ellis. He was the most prolific scorer of the 80s.

Depending on filler pieces, Buck Williams would have been in the picture. Maurice Cheeks as a guard.

They should have just let the '84 team play in '88.

All had great '88 campaigns.

Agree on Dominique and McHale.
But I would go with Isiah and either Kareem or Moses (lifetime achievers, both worthy, with the tip to Kareem).

And that 1988 team might beat that 92 team, mainly because of Larry and Magic '88 being so much better than 92 versions.
