If I had to choose an in-game starting 5 for a championship team this would be the team. This team compliments each other with everyone having their own role. If you put to many scorers on one team it can be disastrous.

PG- Rondo- better defense than most other pgs, cant shoot worth crap but can drive the lane and has great vision.

SG- Wade- Provides another source of athleticism, can slash to the basket for and-ones and easy buckets. Doesn't provide a great threat from the perimeter but can knock it down. Great threat from mid-range however and create his own shot. Also a great source of defense.

SF- Lebron James- Obvious choice here. He provides great athleticism and defense while also giving you an unstoppable force on offense. Has the greatest vision for passing of a forward and can find the open options when they double. This would be my primary scorer.

PF- Dirk Nowitzki- Hard choice here just because most good PFs don't provide great defense, ex Bosh, Boozer, Gasol, and including Nowitzki. Garnett is one of the only ones with good defense but can't provide a lot if minutes. With Nowitzki he provides height, a great touch from everywhere on the floor and provides a great out pass destination for lebron and wade when other teams crash the middle when the slash inside.

C- Dwight Howard- Easy choice here. Provides great athleticism and gives you rebounds and blocks with numerous second chance opportunities. He also doesn't need to be your dominant scorer but can take over against weaker centers.

Pg-d rose
Sg- e gordon
Sf- la bron
Pf- Blake
C- d Howard
Everyone would have at least two sportcenter highlights a game

[snowfish]

PG - Dwyane Wade.

Can do it all on both ends of the court. Has the size and strength advantage over most point guards but can still defend the position well.

Sg - Rudy Gay.

Same as Wade. Can defend the position well and has height and length advantage over most shooting guards. Also doesn't dominate the ball.

SF - lebron James.

Since Wade and gay are at the guard positions, lebron will handle the ball and facilitate the offense. Can defend all positions.

Pf - Dirk nowitzki

Aside from gay, not really any knock down shooters from the arc. Dirk adds an element of offense at the expense of defense. But the four other players are exceptional defenders that will make up it.

C - Dwight Howard.

Superstar banger. Best defender and rebounder at his position. Awesome defensive paint presence.

With these 5, you get great defense, shooting, good ball movement with Dirk and lebron, clutch finishers at 3 or 4 positions, slashers and size. Also have 5 guys that can play great fast break ball or half court ball.

All of your selections are nice. If I had to pick a team of unnamed players so far, I think I could still compete

PG - Westbrook
SG - Joe Johnson
SF - Carmelo
PF - Duncan
C - Gasol

[giordun]

The right answer is that you put LeBron James at the 1. LeBron James is the best point guard, shooting guard, small forward, and power forward in this game.

So...

PG - LeBron James

SG - Ray Allen
Of all the players that can consistently give me at least 2-3 3s a game, he's the most complete player. Even if he's been cold or night I still have confidence shooting with him. Closer at the free throw line.

SF - Gerald Wallace
A guy who can fill up the stat sheet in all sorts of ways and a good defender, isn't a liability on offense and can run with LeBron on the break.

PF - Dirk Nowitzki
The best 'stretch 4' there is. A jumpshooting big man is really useful considering the players I'm using. Another closer at the free throw line.

C - Dwight Howard
I think pretty much everyone has him in their line up

[b22gamer]

PG - Rose. C'mon how can you NOT have the MVP on your roster??
SG - Wade. Not a Kobe guy. Wade can defend and he doesn't command the ball like Kobe, also younger.
SF - Durant. Unlimated range, best shooter in the game.
PF - Paul Gasol. Has decent range, cleans the boards well, and can create offense in the low post or eat least draw a foul
C - Shaq...just kidding. D12 is the only choice here.

[spyder_DG]

PG: Rose, with the newest roster updates Rose is just dominant. It's unfair to have him running the show.

SG: Kobe, the Black Mamba is the easy choice here. As clutch as they come and his three point shooting is deadly in key situations.

SF: Rudy Gay, love his playing style, nothing against LeBron at all I just find Rudy Gay to be a lot better in the game for me personally.

PF: Gerald Wallace, I'm going small and athletic here. G-Dub can absolutely turn around a game with his defense and fast break points.

C: Dwight Howard, this is really the only choice at the C position. An athletic force down low.


Extra Points for my best bench players.

PG: Russel Westbrook, cut from the same mold as Derrick Rose, athletic point guard who can rack up steals.

SF: Kevin Durant, athletic swing man who can knock down jumpers with deadly accuracy. Extremely explosive in the fast break.

PF: Pau Gasol, the best all around PF in the game, the only reason I went with G-Force at the four is because I wanted an athletic defensive minded line up....
