Im pretty sure on a podcast jalen said he didnt care that they were called “the fab five” and also said he didnt want to sound old and bitter by doing so

Oscar Robertson, John Havlicek, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Jerry West, Connie Hawkins, Elgin Baylor, Bill Bradley, Bill Russell at PF, Wes Unseld, Lou Alcindor, Wilt Chamberlain. Fundamentals everywhere! WHAT!?!?

Yeah, if Jerry West, Alcindor, and Clyde Fraizer was on that team, I would go as far as saying they would beat the ’92 squad. Who would stop Wilt Chamberlain, and he was still in his prime at the moment. Clyde Fraizer would lock anybody down. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would put West in his tracks. And they would have a better frontcourt than the ’92 Team. Too bad the world wasn’t thinking this ahead back then.

I think that Jerry West, Lew Alcindor and Clyde Frazier would have to be included on the 68 team. Maybe Dave Bing too

Kurt – seriously, great link about the Dream Team. I don’t think there is any better way to kick off this dead period than jumping in to that argument. Finally, something to actually talk about here on ProBasketballTalk! Very deserving of it’s own post.

Regarding Jalen, he seemed to be more miffed with the media than the girls. Oh yeah, did you know he trademarked “Fab Five”? Stay classy Jalen!

Finally, I’m none to happy about Kupchak’s feelings about DJO and Sacre. I’d rather they keep the those two and dump G-lock. However, if that means two quality vets for the minimum then okay. At some point they need cheap youth to develop on their ridiculously productive D-League affiliate. It’s crazy to me that hasn’t already happened. Joey needs to get in his big brother’s ear, lol.

Assuming ’68 would have been all amateur, as it had been at those times, it would have been nice to see guys like Clyde, KAREEM, Walton, Hayes, Cowens, Archibald… no slouches and could have beaten anyone just as well.

Baylor’s knees were on their way to being shot by ’68.

Kurt, great work on the possible 1968 Dream Team. That is a great Dream Team. I hope you will discuss that on the Dan Patrick Show soon and it catches national buzz. I really do not want to hear anymore stories about Dwight Howard missing an appearance at his summer basketball camp or possible getting traded. Let’s give his reputation and the public’s ears a rest.
