    who do you think would win (using nba players or very recent nba players)?

    these are some lineup possibilities:

    USA
    PG: Kidd/Francis/Baron Davis
    SG: Kobe/Ray Allen/Paul Pierce
    SF: McGrady/Garnett
    PF: Duncan/Webber
    C: Shaq/Ben Wallace
    Reserves: Brand/Finley/Jermaine O'neal

    Simply stunning team with a TON of talent.

    South America + Central America + Canada + Mexico
    PG: Nash/Milt Palacio/Carlos Arroyo
    SG: Ginobili/Felipe Lopez/Oscar Torres
    SF: Rick Fox/Najera
    PF: Jamaal Magloire/Nene Hilario
    C: Todd MacCulloch/Foyle
    Reserves: Pepe Sanchez/Ruben Wolkowyski/Samuel Dalembert

    Solid starting lineup that will rely on the Canadian Quartet of Nash/Fox/Magloire/Todd-Mac to get things going. Ginobili can definately startle opponents with his quickness. Hilario/Foyle/Najera are all very strong backups.

    Europe:
    PG: Tony Parker/Marko Jaric
    SG: Peja Stoyakovic/Gordon Giricek
    SF: Pau Gasol/Andrei Kirilenko
    PF: Dirk Nowitzky/Toni Kukoc/Rebraca
    C: Vlade Divac/Zydrunas Illgauskas/Nesterovic
    Reserves: Turkoglu/Sabonis/Radmanovic

    A team with a great shot. Their PG is probably the worst outside shooter on the starting lineup. Illgauskas/Kukoc/Kirilenko are all very strong bench players while Jaric and Giricek definately have talent.

    Asia/Africa/Oceanica
    PG: Andrew Gaze
    SG: Chris Anstey/Shane Heal
    SF: Michael Olowokandi/Menge Bateer/Mamadou N'diaye
    PF: Dikembe Mutombo/Soumaila Samake/Sean Marks
    C: Yao Ming/Wang Zhi-Zhi/DeSagana Diop
    Reserves: Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje/Olumide Oyedeji

    These guys are BIG...VERY BIG!!! They got the Triple Towers of Kandi-Man/Mutombo/Yao Ming starting which will be an inside threat and will provide great rebounding. The team will have to rely on Gaze and Anstey to manage the guard spots with a little help from Shane Heal.

    A joke right........ :eek:

    A team of Kidd, Kobe, Tmac, Duncan/Garnett, and Shaq won't be losing to anyone.

    well yeah, but who would come next? I think the Rest of America team could upset Europe with their tougher style of play - harder defense (najera, magloire) and decent scoring.

    Duncan is from the Virgin Islands, and so should play for the "Rest of America" team.

    The Virgin Islands are a part of the US.

    If he played, I think it would be for the US.

    The US would dominate all of those teams.

    Duncan is international cuz he's from the Virgin Islands...but he would play for the US since where he was born was the US Virgin Islands. If was was from the British Virgin Islands he'd be on Europe's team, if he was from Bahamas or somethin, he's be on the "Rest of America" team.

    Duncan has played on USA Olympic teams before. He's considered an American.
