- In a video update to a beloved chapter from his 'The Book of Basketball,' Bill Simmons picks his Wine Bottle Team for the 21st Century. Bill and members of the Ringer staff debate who is the best version of each superstar player. But with all that talent on one team, who do you get to coach them? Who do you pick as your irrational confidence guy? All is answered in this one-hour special for The Ringer’s 2018 #NBAPalooza.

Rusillo was only 2 months off with his Davis prediction lmao
Oliver Aslett it’s the best ironic prediction I’ve seen come true
This is the kind of cotent I've missed from Bill Simmons. Stuff like this made Grantland huge.
this is so great. Bill Simmons and The Ringer staff should be proud of what they did yesterday and what they're building. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy The Ringer
what specifically other than bills podcast do you enjoy to?
@@nocontext5333 I read their site more often than any other news source now, it balances being interesting, entertaining and intelligent perfectly

“That version of Steph is a 2nd teamer to me” HE HIT 402 THREES. Some of the things said in this vid are baffling lol
Yea steph is the best off ball player of all time he has to be on any list of all time teams even if it's everyone just because with all those stars your picking stephs gravity and movement becomes even more dangerous

Thank you for this. You did great work. It went unnoticed. But you are doing gods work.
"My chemistry is great, I can take a risk".... he's taking 06 Kobe
"Can I see the 06 Kobe?"
ahhhhhhhhh....
Kobe 2006 "It does not go well with any foods" LOL
I'm rewatching this and it's still good the second time around. Nothing is better than Jason talking about how Manu is super unpredictable, as they show a clip of Manu chucking the ball at 100 mph towards a man under the basket.
make more vids like this with bill. id love to see the best vintage qbs, running backs, strikers, etc. take bits from bills articles and expand the fun in videos that include your ringer mates and special guests
stop the videos where you make writers act. these are better, those are cringy
yes they should pick up on this
Letting the staff be serious, with humor barely leaking out, feels way better than them all trying to be ‘on’ at all times
completely agree. they are writers, not comedians, so a lot falls flat
5:03 "I dont know what kind of chemicals are in the '18". LOLl!
jimmy mcnulty was that a shot saying he uses steroids? Lol
Elias Woolfolk II yeah, obviously.
He does for sure. Love that guy. Second best player of all times but he's on something.
armin38822 probably HGH not steroids, it’d be more obvious if he was on steroids with the coverage he gets. HGH is similar but not as potent/strong as roids.
Connor Smith no chance it’s hgh, most likely just test
Wasn’t Tim Duncan literally one of the greatest defensive players of all time? Why is everyone in this video just forgetting that?
It's because Tim Duncan is boring to watch. But his fundamentals is 10x much better than any superstar. His signature move is a bank shot that is easy to duplicate.
And then you wouldn't notice that he already have 27 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.
No, not really. There were always better defensive big men. Very good but not in the same discussion with Dwight Howard or Ben Wallace.
"oh long arms"
@@zachshaw951 he was definitely in that discussion. He had the most first team all defensive teams in history. It's that in his prime he played with Bruce Bowen and they stole votes from each other also little known fact Tim Duncan has the best advance defensive metrics in history
Of all time ? No
21:54 I loled when the guy said "KD will vent but as another person"
Sean Yoo with the under-sold Michael Scott wine-tasting joke at 5:10.
This was fun and entertaining. Would love to see more like this.
I dont get where 06 or 09 d wade 01 ai 07 or 11 dirk 17 westbrook 18 harden were..seriously….its like bill just wants to reward ray allen kawhi leonard and klay thompson chris paul for being nice guys....they dont deserve to be on this list and 08 or 11 cp3 is the best version not 14...smdh...so many mistakes...
Jason was fantastic in this
@@Mister_Balls Word.
"I need a backup guard"
08 Wade
"01 Ray Allen"
WHAT?!
right? 06 and 09 wade ...simmons just hates wade for breaking rondos arm in 2011...thats what that is...also who puts 14 cp3 over 11 or 08 cp3?..and why are kawhi klay ray and cp3 even on this list?....11 or 07 dirk?...06 or 09 d wade?...01 ai? 17 westbrook?...18 harden?...can't get any love?
@@razkable I mean he kinda explained why Allen and Klay has to be on the team. There has to be guys who can stretch the floor and not to have the ball in their hands. He's building a TEAM not just listing the best players. With that being said, you don't really need both of them so yeah Wade has to be on the team no question. Everyone knows about his offensive skills but the dude was awesome defender as well.
And I'm sorry did you say Kawhi shouldn't be in there? WTF are you smoking dude 2017 Kawhi was the best two-way player in the league by far. None of the other guys you mentioned are even close what Kawhi brings on defense and his offensive game that year was as almost good as theirs. And your replacements include Dirk, Iverson, Westbrook and Harden? GTFO Harden, Iverson and Russ would kill the team with their ball hogging and Dirk would get toasted by the aliens on defense. Harden and Russ are both kinda bad on defense too. Throw Wade in there instead of Allen or Klay, change Paul's year to 2008 and this is the team I would go too.
thats what i thought he was goin
@Cal Amari dude if he has Klay and steph and durant, he doesnt need Ray allen. D Wade is a defender, a motivator, a scorer and a winner. I like Ray but Ray cant touch Wade.
Underrated bottles:
2006 Gilbert Arenas
2009 Brandon Roy
2003 Tracy McGrady
2004 Ron Artest
2004 Sam Cassell
2009 Danny Granger
2007 Marcus Camby
2009 Chauncey Billups
2006 Rip Hamilton
2004 Andrei Kirilenko
2006 Elton Brand
2007 Rashard Lewis

2010 Pau Gasol
2004 Peja Stojakovic
2017 Kyle Lowry
2013 Marc Gasol
2001 Vince Carter
2007 Baron Davis
put 2004 Sam Cassell on the bench to get the aliens to make turnovers
04 t wolves the most underrated team ever...they were decimated by injuries but if healthy I guarantee they win the title and like 70 regular season games going 16-3 in the playoffs....cassell Sprewell kg Hudson wally z candy man hassel trent hoidberg madsen miller ervin johnson derrick martin..that team was legit and built well
Nooooo
@@razkable he means that Sam Cassell looks like an alien and they'd pass him the ball instead of the real aliens
Lmao
Incredible joke
The 2013 Lebron was so much fun. Man oh man, It still feels like a dream that he came down to south beach and gifted us Heat fans the most incredible four years of basketball we'll ever see. Every game was un-missable, every game was full of drama. I'd give anything to go back and relive it.
Jason Kidd for backup PG - specifically the '02-'03 vintage (Avg: 19-9-6-2). Best PG of the century (not named Curry) to win a title. Massively underrated for seasons on awful Nets teams. Carried them to the Finals in '03. All-Star. Assist leader. 2nd Team All-Defense.
For a team like this (uber-elite scorers everywhere), if I want the ultimate pure passing/facilitating PG, I take Kidd over anyone not named Magic.
Between Isiah, Stockton, Kidd, Nash, and CP3, Kidd is
a) at least as a good (if not superior to some) a pure passer/facilitator as any of ‘em
b) easily the biggest/strongest (6’4”, 210lbs)
c) easily the best defender
d) by far the best rebounder
- 0 PGs in history with more All-Defensive Teams (only 5 players in history with more, tied w/Jordan and Hakeem, of all people, and 4 others, for 5th all-time with 9 total)
- by far the most rebounds ever for a PG
- #5 all-time in triple-doubles
- #2 all-time in assists
- #2 all-time in steals
When people say he’s too much of a liability as a scorer,
a) that’s not why he’s on the floor anyway, otherwise we’d just go with Curry
b) he averaged 16 PPG over his 5-year peak, pretty much the same as Stockton and Nash’s 5-year peaks
c) he’s an 80% foul shooter
d) he’s 11th all-time in 3PT field goals - compared to Isiah, Stockton, Nash, and CP3, he’s got easily the most 3s of any of them.
I get the idea of Kidd, but if I’m looking for that all around floor general who is going to elevate everyone on the floor with him, I’d likely pull out the bottles of 03-04 Chauncey Billups or 16-17 Kyle Lowry as well before making a full assessment.
The issue with Kidd is that he's an asshole. I don't want prime Kidd on this team. Chemistry matters. Old Kidd would be fine for chemistry but he wouldn't be good enough then. That's why Kidd isn't discussed like Nash or Paul, he never put it all together
There was ZERO problem with Kobe taking over during the Olympics tho.!
Sooo.....
08 Kobe, who Bill specifically cited as an example where the NBA hierarchy organically sorted itself out.
Dwyane wade was the best player in the 08 Olympics not kobe
@@isaiah91996 Word. Kobe got hot at the right time. Wade stayed hot the entire games. But credit to Kobe for taking the US home in the least 5 mins while Wade carried them for 35 mins. Wade also hit a bigger clutch three.
Love the content! Great work Ringer
This is great content. More of this please
Great video. Stepping up the video content.
Loved this!!!
“We don’t have a bald guy”
Shaq, KD, KG, Ray Allen, Kobe
I can't believe I spent an hour watching this but I had fun with it :)
Nearly an hour of all-star level hot takes, my word. I'm literally thinking about watching this again when I've finished and I'm not even halfway through lol.
please make more wine bottle teams this is by far your best content
Jason Concepcion’s disrespect of Tim Duncan makes me hate him.
You can tell Kobe really hurt some of these people
Onkgopotse Sibanyoni If you want the Ringer to hire you all that’s needed is that you tell Bill a joke that eludes to Westbrook or Kobe playing a poor brand of basketball
@@KingBorium and or be from Philly or boston Lol
Hurt People from Portland, Seattle, Houston, Sacramento, Phoenix, Indiana, San Antonio, Philidelphia, New Jersey, Minnesota, Denver, Utah, Orlando, Oklahoma, Boston, New Orleans. 5-time champ.
why are they showing 06 wade when he said 09 wade?..and why is the footage like 480 p..smdh...09 wade was better overall then 06 wade..wade had an amazing 3-4 game stretch in the 06 finals but come on...09 wade was scoring 55 in 3 quarters worth of work basically vs the knicks
Yeah Kobe hurt me too. He could've been the GOAT but couldnt get his head out of his own ass way too often
LOVED it. As someone who's read the BoB about a thousand times, any update on the alien invasion team is mucho appreciated.
Kobe isn't playing on that team. He's signing on with the aliens.
I think you got Kobe and Durant mixed up
Rook 119 true!
LOL yeah, that's more of a Kevin Durant move.
Rook 119 yea you mean LeBron or Durant kobe played 20 years with one team dumbass
I would personally take a team with 09 d wade and 06 kobe against anybody...those 2 guys would will that team to a title no matter who you put around them..seriously..no cap..you put those 2 guys together they could beat peak mj and bron I feel..thats how confident they were ......@@EGarrett01
Those three NBA Finals losses to the Lakers during his lifetime really hurt Simmons soul. I get it but the Celtics historically have the overall head to head in the Finals historically. So get that hate out of your heart Bill. Dope video.
Great content
Get that 2018 AD and 2004 KG out of here and give me 2011 Dirk. 2011 Dirk is some of the most unstoppable forces to have ever graced a hardwood floor
dirk was pretty normal usual dirk in 2011 I mean he had a few big moments but nothing absurdly out of his ability as a mvp with many moments yearly... think they just built the perfect team around dirk for once with Tyson chandler manning the paint and kidd terry around the perimeter with marion doing dirty work on both sides inbetween in the mid range ...5 all star caliber players with a 6th man microwave ability in barea that could get hot a 7th man in former 20 ppg star peja with a little left in the tank and boom add some savy vet play and toughness with playoff experienced haywood and stevenson and some crazy tendency with butler and a wild card factor in young unkown mahinmi and lets go play ball ..they just fit well
I can't watch this without thinking the guy handing him the wine is the worst commissioner in the history of fantasy sports.
Love this
This is just brilliant
This is an incredible idea. Well done The Ringer.
Come on Van... Kobe more offensively skilled than MJ? 2015 Steph better than 16 Steph? Ughhh
in fact, I don't think he understood the concept of this working as a team, rather than a collection of dominant individual players. when he spoke about replacing ray or klay I cringed... you need offball floor spacing for the iso players and slashers to have room
James Hibberd - - Van is simply an irrationally confident attention seeking individual.
yeah hes lost me...mj could shoot threes..he just didnt work on it during an era he didn't need to shoot them much especially in the 80's.. ….theres nothing kobe did better than mj besides having a slightly better fade away from 20 feet over 2 guys cause he was longer aka the only thing kobe did better was hit a more difficult dumb inefficient shot you tell players today never to shoot...and he usually missed 2 of those a game out of 3 so....lets move on...van is stupid..mj avg. 37 didn't he?...wilt avg. 50 come on...
21st-Century
Would love to see more of this kind of Content. Would love to see a 75 Draft from the Ringer Crew or even just individuals like Bill and KOC choosing their all-time teams. So fun.
2008 Eddie House is in the role player hall of fame.
no james posey
Great idea!!!
I love that it's a roll of paper towel as the napkin- this was awesome
One of the best videos ever from you guys!!
2006 Kobe -- Also does not go well with ANY foods. Sean Yoo killin' it.😂
Oaky afterbirth!?!?! Great “The Office” reference! This is why I love The Ringer!
That kawhi laugh impression 😂😂😂 26:15
"I dont know what kind of chemicals are in the '18 Lebron" Lmao. Love Lebron and this video
41:05 beat drop for the big diesel. Dope video.
I hated those LA teams, but I don’t understand how 2001 Shaq is not a starter. Most unstoppable force ever in the NBA.
"his legs are made of pretzels" LOL
I really enjoy The Ringer
I’d love to see what y’all think a college basketball Wine Cellar Team would look like. I’m gonna write up my own and see what y’all can come up with 👌🏼
Not a Kobe guy, but look at how well he played with the 2008 and 2012 Olympic teams. He relegated himself to be a 3 and D player (essentially, the most talented 3 and D guy in basketball history). The only time he really asserted himself as the team's alpha was in the 2008 Gold Medal game, which was also the only time in 2008 or 2012 the teams really faced any real adversity. He didn't shoot the 3 particularly well in the 2008 Olympics, and in 2012 he was content on letting it be the Durant and LeBron show, but the key issue here is that he made himself a team player instead of making the team about himself.
too bad that wasn't during an actual nba season
Jason dryly delivering the bit on Duncan's JNCO's... I was actually crying.
Can anyone tell me where I can find that hoodie that Van is wearing?
Bill needs to do the all time wine cellar outside of his book. Like seeing any updates and why
"doesn't go with any food" lol
What's the song at the beginning and end of the video?
Tim Duncan was on the 04 Olympic team too
I've always wanted to know what a 2004 Artest tastes like, apparently they had a severe drought that year and they only were able to make a few cases.
“The 4th no brainer. This one surprised me.”
LMAO. The sommelier's hand is wrapped in a paper towel And he's doing a great job of disguising it as a napkin. Nice video.
Juliet saying Kobe is a top 25 player? please. give this man his respect. He's top 10
worst case, he is top 13. she doesnt know what she is talking about, she also said she is a top 3 sg all time. like who tf is better than him except for jordan
the Lakers hate in this video is alarming
watching kobe only from 96-99 and 2010-2016 I would say hes overrated for a good 9 year stretch of his career but he was so good from 2000-2010 I think we forget about his will skills killer instinct and defense in that decade of amazing tier b ball and pre Achilles tear post age 20 he was a real beast even from 2010-2013 at times not consistent though ...
@Erik Lerström this is why Kobe gets left out if the goat conversation. Media doesn't want it being brought up and tarnishing the brand.
I'd love to see this done with the 20th century as well
this video was in my recommendations for months and I didn't watch it bc I thought it was going to be bill Simmons talking about NBA players wines that they make from their vineyards
Where is 2011 Dirk?
Bill Simmons is a national treasure and the creativity of The Ringer is off the charts. Puts all the sport talk shows in the shade. Really hate that he's a Boston homer, oh well, can't have everything I guess.
"Someone has to play defence on this team"
They have prime Kobe, Lebron and Duncan in the starting 5? That statement is genuinely baffling
"There's gonna be a time when they put in a small lineup and we're gonna need you to go in and score 15 points in 4 minutes" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 The perfect usecase for Shaq
This is impressive. But the aliens are all guys with curry’s shooting, davis’ length and kawhi’s strength.
jason is hilarious...literally makes me lol
More wine bottle teams please!
34:00 Damn that hits hard now
Me and some buddies just did a 8 team draft for 2010s (2010-2019-0)players and you have to choose a specific player year amd that team is gone for the decade. Loved my team.
Something tells me that Bill and Shea don't really like Kobe...
What?!? A Celtics fan and a Spurs fan hating Kobe?!? That's preposterous!
@@jchcsean lol I know but at least Shea admits he hates Kobe. I respect that.
@@aarond7245 he hates Kobe so much that his biggest contribution to this video was "Take '06 Kobe off put (insert any player) on." He even made a case for Bruce Bowen. Hahahaha.
31:30 wow that was perfectly put
I wanna watch a movie where all of these vintages get pulled from their times and have a conversation in the locker room
now we need a 20th century wine bottle list
why?..he screwed up this list already...kawhi cp3 ray kay don't sniff the top 12...d wade dirk ai harden russ were all left off this awful list
Brad Stevens.... Wow. You have Phil Jackson as the head coach and pop as the assistant.
I wish they would make more of these wine teams
Where’s the Tim Duncan docuseries haha
I surprised they had a bigger issue with Ray Allen only making it to the conference finals and 10seconds later were talking about how underrated Chris Paul was.
Do this again a couple of years later
Very weird to see how these picks aged over two years
For a given pick do you need have to include both regular season and playoffs? I feel like if it were just playoffs, I might pick a different year of Lebron.
2017 Kawhi Leonard... Shea - "Who?" LMAO
There are a lot of things that he wrote in that book that would make great videos like these
He should make one of these for each decade
When is a knew book coming? DAMN
0:52 says it’s not going to be an all-star team. 50 minutes later …… every last player is an all star. Love it!
If Shaq was playing in the modern day you’d never have the small ball, 3 happy era. Every team would be drafting big men to stack up against him.
Duncan prime would be just as unstoppable
Agreed. They say 34% from 3 is better than 50% from 2. But what's better than that is a dominant Shaq today dumping 90% from 2.
And they would torch shaq on the other end
I’m a fan of the 2011 Derrick Rose. Very bold profile
The beat at the beginning?
This is fucking amazing
31:30 Russilo sees the future!
Rest In Peace, Kobe - Unfortunate that you won’t be able to defend us from the aliens, Mamba
Dang who the shorty throwing maaad shade lol
