L.A. vs the World

L.A. Lakers 

Center:  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Forwards:  LeBron James, Elgin Baylor

Guards:  Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson

Key Reserves:  Shaquille O'Neal, James Worthy, Jerry West

Karl Malone played for the Lakers, but it was just one insignificant season.  So did Wilt, but it's a tough line-up to crack at center.  The Logo doesn't start.  Should he?   

Everybody Else

Center:  Bill Russell

Forwards:  Tim Duncan, Julius Erving

Guards:  Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson

Key Reserves:  Hakeem Olajuwon, Dirk Nowitzki, John Stockton

Both bigs are defense-heavy so I'm starting the better scoring threat at point guard.  If I did this three  years ago, LeBron would have bumped Doc.
