NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

[DemiGodzillla]

PG - Steve Nash: A great passer who will get everyone else on the team involved. Commands attention on offense because of his great shooting ability which stops the defense from sagging onto the post players, this is the main reason I take him over Rondo. Has the ability to run the Pick and Roll/Pop with to near perfection with this team.

SG - Kobe Bryant: One of, if not the best in the game when it comes to closing it out down the stretch. Can also defend the other team's best player and score from anywhere on the court.

SF - Carmelo Anthony: Great shooter from all over the court, big and strong, a better defender in the game than in real life.

PF - Dirk Nowitzki: Obvious choice at this point, has the ability to take the game over with his scoring on any given night. Him and Nash would be deadly off the Pick together with him having the ability to pop or roll and Nash being able to pass to him, Kobe or shoot himself. A threat to score anywhere inside of half court, has shown the ability to play defense and rebound when it's necessary and his offensive arsenal will keep the double team away from...

C - Dwight Howard. Obvious choice, a monster on the glass and down low Dwight would be the anchor of the team. With multiple player's who can get him the ball and a team that forces everyone to play honest Dwight has the ability to dominate both ends of the floor with his rebounding, defense and second chance points.

NBA 2k11 has a salary cap right? and team chemistry turned on. I refuse to believe you could keep a team of superstars happy.

1. Derrick Rose - Energetic ball handler who will run the offence. Great, giving attitude helps offence. Defensively great. ($5.5 million this year)
2. Jason Terry - Floor spacing extraordinaire. A consumate shooter who will accept the 3rd scoring role and an effort defender. ($9.8 million this year)
3. Grant Hill - The Ageless Wonder. Easily the best one-on-one defender (on 4 positions) in the league. I don't care what the game says, in real life - he shuts superstars down. ($3.2 million this year)
4. Dirk Nowitzki - Beats out Randolph purely on his ability to handle any defence thrown at him. Exactly the compliment to D-Rose's gun-ho offensive style ($17.3 Million this year)
5. Joakim Noah - Offensive Glass wins championships, see the Lakers in 2009-10 ($3.2 million this year)

A first ring for all involved with $19 million in cap room for a bench.

Aside: I also fantasy drafted a team a while back which the game rated 1st defensively, 3rd offensively and 1st overall
1. Mo Williams
2. Manu Ginobli
3. Terrence Williams
4. Lemarcus Aldrige
5. Dwight Howard.

C-Noah - Knows his role. Provides super star defense & boards. Great hustle and energy
PF-Nowitzki - Amazing performer but doesn't ball hog, can share with....
SF-James - Most dominant player in the league, and makes all his team mates better
SG-Wade - Wade & James have shown they can work together well. Kobe hasn't looked dominant since paul pierce shut him down in the finals. The mamba is dry, it needs to be moisterized.
PG-Kidd - We got a enough big names, we don't need a scorer here we need someone who's gonna be smart and handle the ball well.

Rose
Ray Allen
Durant
Dirk
Yao

All great players in the game. All work well together. Rose can drive and kick. Ray hits everything. Durant can create his own shot from anywhere. Dirk can post and hit from everywhere. Yao can post and plays excellent D because of his size.

Wade
Kobe
LeBron
Durant
D. Howard +
