who would you pick as your best sixers team ever. Anyone who ever played for sixers is eligible. you can have as many imports as you want as well. A starting 5 and bench, and theres no salary cap to think about, players need to be picked in postions to

Just to name a few, it is hard to compare the part time basketballers of the original 36ers and the recent full timers

It's amazing Phil Smyth doesn't get a look in, but who would you leave out? I'm not sure that Stiff deserves a place.

starting 5: Davis, Bradke, Green, Maher, Mee.
bench: McKay, Pearce Jones, KB
10th man: Kym Taylor
I wouldn't put David Stiff in the top 10 either.
Mott you are probably right about Stiff, but i just love his unorthodox play, he was probably at his peak whilst in Adelaide. Phil probably wasnt at his best whilst in Adelaide. Its hard do you pick a team based on their whole career or based on their time as a 36er.
I would have to add Jerry Denard & Rupert Sapwell as my 11th & 12th Men (not necessarily in that order), gotta have a cult figure somewhere in the team.

Smyth definately deserves serious consideration for the strarting 5. As great as Maher and Mee are I reckon phill was the starting PG at 3 or 4 olympic games.
Go The General "Your Team Needs You!"
Phil when with the sixers was on the wane he was certainly towards the end of his career and was replaced rightly by Maher
I wouldn't have him in my top 10 either - his career would warrant serious consideration but not his career with the sixers

I was probably thinking of Phil's overall career rather than as a sixer and concede he wouldn't be in the team on that basis. Agree with you anon (69388) about Stiff and I loved Jerry and Sap's energy and enthusiasm off the bench. Certainly added a spark when needed.
