Amidst the pandemic of the Coronavirus in this country, a lot of us have been asked to work from home for the immediate future. For the next six weeks, I'll be working from my apartment and only leaving when absolutely necessary.

So to pass some time, I thought about something last night and it was kind of wracking my brain and I'd be interested to see other's thoughts on the subject.

Starting with whatever decade you want, create an All-Time starting five of NBA players and a sixth man off the bench for each decade.

RULES:

(1) You can't use players who spanned multiple decades more than once. (For instance, Michael Jordan was a scoring machine in the 80s, but didn't truly become great until his titles in the 90s. Also, how do you split up the Dream Team?)

(2) The starting lineup DOES NOT need to consist of the traditional PG, SG, SF, PF, and C in order. Think of this like an All-Star Game.

(3) Have fun with it. The player on your team may not even be one of the best ever. Maybe you just liked his game. Maybe you thought he was a swell guy.
