    To create an eight-man rotation and defend those selections.

    Rules:

    1) You can pick both former and current NBA players.

    2) The team must be realistic. No teams full of legends will be considered.

    3) You must defend your selections for each player.

    Let the games begin...

    Starters:

    Bill Russell C
    Dennis Rodman PF
    James Worthy SF
    Mario Elie SG
    John Stockton PG

    Bench:

    Larry Smith C/PF
    Shandon Anderson SF/SG
    Steve Kerr PG

    This team is built to play strong defense and to run fast breaks. The leading scorer on this team is "Big Game" James. I have three clutch shooters in Kerr, Elie, and Stockton. I think the combination of Rodman and Smith, who are great postion defenders, will match well with Russell's more active shot-blocking stlye of defense. Stockton and Worthy should also match well together in fast break situations. If there is a weakness on this team, it is the lack of a pure scorer, but with the defense I have and the clutch shooters, we should win our fair share of close games and should never be out of any game. This is my team, what do you all think? Can you do better?

    That team looks pretty good, but you must mean a younger rodman because as he got older he played less and less defense. Once he started rebounding more he became reluctant to move away from the basket defensively.

    Steve...,

    yea, I like rodman when he was with the pistons. Also, since he got a little out of control in his latter year, he would have disrupted this team's chemistry, which I am highly interested in.
