The 1980s Spirit - Magic and Bird
This NBA side is built around two of the greatest NBA players of all time, forever rivals but whose styles mesh extremely well together.
Magic and Bird lead this team with the quintessential 1980s verve. Showtime no-look passes and clutch shooting, both with an extremely balanced all-around game. Larry Bird was phenomenal at game-winning defense along with his famous shooting exploits. The style here is based on powerful teamwork that both Bird and Magic excel in. To complement them is Sidney Moncrief, an all-around star with game-winning defense and Elgin Baylor, a scoring machine who can finish a lot of Magic and Bird plays if they are double-teamed. I will rotate the center position frequently throughout the 7 game series using Bill Walton, 1978 NBA MVP and finals winner and the 1987 Sixth Man of the Year and Giannis, for classic moments the Greek Freak when speed and all-around ball handling are needed. They both fill important roles and will be constantly rotating based on in-game needs. Terry will come off the bench for more shooting when Bird is taking double-teams and Artest will be frequently rotated in to disrupt and diminish Labron's game.
They played together in a charity game once in the mid-80s I discovered:

Vs. the opponent
Labron James = 6 Losses in NBA finals (3-6 overall)
Playing against each other frequently both Magic and Bird still have over 50% record in NBA finals (Magic = 5-4 and Bird = 3-2). Magic and Bird are consummate winners while Labron has proven to be highly vulnerable in the big moments against teams that play with amazing teamwork and defense. With Sidney Moncrief and Ron Artest available to hound Labron all game, Magic and Bird will shine here.
