NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

02:29 PM - May 31, 2011 by RaychelSnr

With the NBA Finals beginning Tuesday night in Miami, the questions around here revolve around what that means in NBA 2K11.

So we have been asking this question: Who would we want starting for us in the NBA 2K Finals? Forget about the bench players, screw the sixth man, who are the starters leading us to victory?

To answer that question, I did not just pick the top-rated players in the game. No, this team complements one another to the point where I can�t lose to even the best players I have played. This is the ultimate team that will ensure you a clean, four-game sweep of any opponent.

This is nothing but a starting five that you know will win you that Larry O�Brien Trophy.

(Also, just for clarification, classic rosters are not involved. Sorry MJ.)

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.

PG - CP3 Great Defense, Stroke the 3pt and get guys open looks.

SG - D. Rose. More of a scorer than PG, Rated ovr 4 pts higher as a SG. Defense, Passing, Playmaking.

SF - Kevin Durant. Rebounds, Makes any open shot, Cant miss from the Line.

PF - Lebron James. Size,Strength, Defense to play PF, Passing, Playmaking.

C - Dwight Howard - Best Center in the Game. Defense.

How it Works:

CP3 - runs the offense distributing, driving and kicking it out and recieving open 3pt looks from passes off lebron in the post.

D.Rose - Great Slasher to the basket with PG skills to be able to kick it out to an open durant,CP3, or most likely an open lebron once the PF and C crash in on him.

Durant. - Superstar who can rebound and shoot lights out, with 3 viable passers getting open looks for him becomes a normal thing. **His liability can sometimes be his defense but not many teams have Star SF and PF so Durant and Lebron could flip in certain matchups given Durants size, but not preferred.

Lebron - Has the Size Strength and Quickness to defend effectively in the low post, but also can use that size strength and speed to burn any PF in ISO. Puts a lot of pressure on a PF to match up defensively, throws off a teams entire Gameplan.

Howard - Enough Said.

He is easily the most unstoppable person on the game. When everyone starts doubling him, thats when the fun begins. When someone comes to double, it obviously leaves someone open, look at my roster.....Who isn't gonna knock down a wide open shot?!?!? Easy buckets! DEFENSE -- Run a 1-3-1 zone. Put Nowitzki in the middle and Garnett on the baseline. Lebron will have a field day with cross court passes. Easy buckets! PS3 Users: username: Sparco3t filename: All-time Rosters, Period!!! .....Gurantee you wont be disappointed

Just checking, you do know that LeBron is a Small Forward right?

My team would shipoopi on all of your teams! Lol I kid. It IS interesting to see how everybody thinks certain different players would mesh though. I like this!

Speaking of the finals it's actually scary that both teams that were available in the first demo of 2K11, the one shown in the game convention in Germany, made it to the Finals. 2K ARE YOU A WIZARD?
