Actually Eny, the video you put up of Strick the sick was great. Too bad he got exposed by the woman who the perv exposed himself to, in the hotel hallway.

All of the championship Knicks, with the exception of Earl the Pearl, would kvetch at playing in D'Antoni's system. They'd be clamping down on defense and working the ball around on offense looking for the best shot despite the shot clock and D'Antoni would be wondering why they were wasting energy and time. Stop insulting them like that. For this exercise they should be omitted from consideration.

Frazier (PG/SG - 19 pts/6 assts - run & gun, half court, defense)
Monroe (SG - 19 pts/4 assts - run & gun, half court, defense)
Michael Ray Richardson (PG/SG - 15 pts/7assts/5rebs - run & gun, defense, scorer)
John Starks (SG - 12 pts/4 assts - run & gun, streaky shooter, defense)
Sly Williams (G/F - 10 pts - guard/SF mentality, defense, runs and does what is asked)
Willis Reed (F/C - 18 pts/13 rebs - half court sets, defense, scorer)
Ewing (C - 21 pts/9 rebs/2 blks - half court, can run, defense)
Debusshere (PF - 16 pts/11 rebs - defense, half court)
King (SF - 22 pts/6 rebs - run & gun, can score at will)
Charles Oakley (PF - 10 pts/10 rebs - hard core defender, can score, rebounds)
Bill Bradley (SF - 12 pts - half court sets, can run, defense)
Bob McAdoo (PF/SF - 22 pts/9 rebs - B. King Jr., scorer, runs, not a great defender)

There are other interchangeable players but this is what I came up with based on team play and coachability. I didn't initially include 15 players because you can't dress and play 15. But.......G. Wilkins, B. Cartwright, M. Jackson.

Why are you bringing up defense?? What does that have to do with a Mike D'Antoni team?

You do understand the parameters of building this hypothetical team, right? It's not an all time Knicks team, it's not your favorite players or it's not a combination of either. It's about D'Antoni and who he would love to coach. That means offense and no defense. You have Oakley in there, who would never see any playing time under D'Antoni because he doesn't run and isn't a factor on offense.
