    First to 4 votes wins!

    Anyone is welcome to vote, but please break it down. You can use this scheme:

    Frontcourt (who has better SF-PF-C)
    Backcourt (who has better guard combo)
    Bench
    Offense
    Defense
    Chemistry (which team's players fit on the court better)

    Or just give main reasons why you think one team will win.
    If there's no explanation, the vote won't count.


    RedNation

    G: Ricky Rubio
    G: Manu Ginobili
    F: Lebron James
    F: Anderson Varejao
    F: Al Jefferson

    Bench:
    G: Gary Neal
    F: Grant Hill
    C: Markieff Morris

    vs.

    Jamers

    PG - Mike Conley
    SG - Kobe Bryant
    SF - Chandler Parsons
    PF - Kevin Garnett
    C - Tyson Chandler

    Bench:
    G - Jeff Teague
    FC - Brandan Wright
    G/F - Klay Thompson

    Frontcourt: RedN
    Backcourt: Jamers
    Bench: RedN
    Offense: RedN
    Defense: Jamers
    Chemistry: RedN

    RedN wins pretty easily due to having LeBron and a good defensive team around him with some shooters, whereas Jamers's team will no doubt struggle to score, depending mostly on a 34 year old Kobe who has Lebron James guarding him.

    I gotta go with RedNation. Great chemistry behind that roster, while I can't see much offensive fluidity on Jamer's team. Jamers has a really good defense though, so it would be an entertaining game.

    FC: Red

    Chandler and LeBron kill their opponent while Varejao gets massacred by KG.

    BC: Jamers

    KOBE

    Bench:Tie

    Offense: Red

    His team can put up the points. LeBron and Manu are scorers (maybe even Big Al). Rubio is a future steve nash type player, and Varejao does the dirty work.

    Defense: Jamers

    Aside from Kobe ;) , everyone on this team is a defensive specialist. NO doubt Jamers gets Defense.

    Chemistry: Jamers

    Jamers has better spacing. Red cannot spread the floor with 2 low post players and Manu/LeBron contantly cutting. Jamers has a team that has great spacing, and a coherent PG.

    Winner: Jamers

    Defense wins championships. Not saying Jamers will win it all, but this team does match up very will with Red's team.

    Kobe:

    9× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2000, 2003–2004, 2006–2011)
    3× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2001–2002, 2012)

    ;)

    Yeah but those are from previous years as well. Now, he's not one of the best perimeter defenders. he's ok. The rest of your team plays really good d though so it doesn't matter that much

    Frontcourt - Red. Love that big man combo for Jamers defensively, but it's LeBron vs. Parsons.

    Back - Jamers

    Bench - Jamers slightly
    Teague over Neal by a lot.
    Markieff Morris vs. Brandan Wright. Both kind of meh. Wright is a bit better imo + he had a good year.
    Hill vs. Klay. An elite defender / all around player vs. a great shooter who struggles defensively and at most other things. Hill had an off year offensively, but I'd still take him by quite a bit.
    Overall, Jamers by a little.

    Offense. Red. LeBron and more tools overall.

    Defense. Jamers.

    Chemistry - Jamers.
    I like how Varejao fits for RedNation, he complements Jefferson a lot. Rubio will get under-utilized off the ball, and on a team with Manu, LeBron and Jefferson he'll be off the ball quite a bit. Also, Jefferson doesn't love giving up the ball, and on a team where he's the 3rd or 4th best offensive guy that's a problem. He's kind of Melo of post players, just without superstar talent.

    Overall, Jamers.

    Vote goes to Jamers, I don't see Rubio working well with Bron because of his bad shooting, the team would have spacing issues. KG+Chandler seems as too much for Var+Al, especially when you can run P&R with them, something I don't see working good with RedN's frontcourt.

    I really can't think of an effective offense for RedN's unit, don't know what you guys see in a P&R with Varejao or Jefferson or how Rubio and Bron share the ball.
