Which team you got? Raptors highlight legendary players and we pick the winner

It's not uncommon for fan accounts or AI bots to put together "teams' of past NBA players and pit them against one another. It's an activity fans can undertake themselves somewhere like NBA 2K, and it's a fun thought exercise to consider that dredges up the best kinds of memories from past stars.

The Toronto Raptors themselves decided to join the fun this past week, putting together two teams of Raptors greats and asking fans "which team wins"?

Let's join the discussion and analyze this as if it were the NBA Finals. Which team is more talented? A better fit? Where would each team's strengths line up with the others' weaknesses? Let's dive in!

Team 1: A Powerhouse of Scoring

If you are wondering which team has the better collection of offensive on-ball talent, it's clearly Team 1. DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard are two of the great isolation scorers in modern NBA history, while Chris Bosh was a destroyed of worlds while with the Raptors and Jonas Valanciunas can fill it up on the block. Even Damon Stoudemire averaged 19 points as a rookie and 19.6 overall with the franchise.

In fact, in terms of points per game, three of the top four scorers in franchise history are on this team (Bosh, DeRozan and Stoudamire) and that doesn't count Kawhi Leonard, who is the Raptors' top scorer at 26.6 points per game but only appeared in 60 regular-season games (he averaged 30.5 points per game in 24 postseason games en route to the championship).

It's therefore not clear how Team 2 slows them down, although the fit of so many on-ball scorers is not as clean as it could be. Chris Bosh may have developed as a shooter and off-ball scorer in Miami, but "Toronto Bosh" was a 29.8 percent 3-point shooter and had a massive usage rate. Someone will need to operate without the ball, and this group likely doesn't have the shooting to maximize their fit together.

Defensively, while their backcourt is suspect, having Kawhi Leonard and Chris Bosh together in the frontcourt is a fearsome combination. If this team could bring in someone like OG Anunoby off the bench and shift smaller they would be even more fearsome as a two-way squad.

Let's take a look at Team 2.
