    Yao
    Howard
    James
    Wade
    Williams

    Howard would be brutal on weakside D; Yao would be the ultimate shot changer.

    James, Wade = no need to explain.

    Nash doesn't fit with Yao, and Williams is in a system where P'n'R with the 4 is his strongest passing game. Rondo maximizes all of the other players in the starting positions.

    Wade over Bryant, because of age.

    Durant
    Wade

    Team Just-plain-fun-to-watch

    Howard
    James
    Durant
    Wade

    I thought you were taking injuries into account? Amare may be as much if not more injury prone then our big guy.

    This is true!

    However, if I was building a TEAM, I would go with Pau over Dirk just cause I could also run Pau at center.

    PG Rajon Rondo
    SG Dwayne Wade
    SF Lebron James
    PF Pau Gasol
    C Yao Ming

    can I ask who the back-up center is on the team for everyone who picked Howard? might be important after 5 min... :grin:

    I am more concerned with entertaining my crowd while at the same time blowing the other team out of building...

    but everyone needs glue...and corner 3's...


    Dirk
    Lebron
    Durant
    Battier
    Nash

    their only kryptonite...the flop-town all-stars

    Verajao
    Gasol
    Kirilienko
    Ginobli
    Fisher

    howard
    bosh
    james
    kobe
    deron

    Even tho I personally think Chris Paul is the best for other reason two years ago people was calling him the best when he had a winning season and a great play-off no there doing the same with deron williams its a case of paul being injured and people is forgetting about him


    but i think with this combination of player the fit with each other howard rebound and plays deffense big in the paint and blocks anything,bosh is the outside big man that can shout from the elbow a mobile reabound, block ,james for oblivious reason ,kobe because of his clutch shot making and also obvious reasons and d will because hes a great passer ball handle deffense and post up and he can hit the spot up shot when kobe or james get double

    C: Dwight Howard
    PF: Lebron James
    SF: Kevin Durant
    SG:Kobe Bryant
    PG: Dwayne Wade

    Coach: Mike D'Antoni

    Run up speed offense...Lebron is strong enough to guard most 4's. Wade controls the ball most the time anyway so no problem with him at PG. These are the 5 best players in the NBA.

    i like that battier is on your team. i originally included him but figured DH could block most shots in the paint and the rest of my players were competent enough to cover their guys or score more.

    i had Duncan at backup Center (i know he's listed a PF but watever he's a center). DH alone is not enough.
    but Nash+Howard=nightmare for opponents.
