Actually, you could technically take it one step further and add the Reebok guys with the Adidas players... Reebok and Adidas merged, but they decided not to merge their names I guess.
Despite Nike having the more talented team, I woudl take the Adidas one. I could see better chemistry betwenn that team than teh Niek one, who has artguably the best two scorers in the league. Not too mention that Adidas overall has less selfish players
I'd take Adidas, for Duncan and Garnett. Those twin towers would dominate, and a healthy McGrady is a top 5 player in the league. Arenas is awesome, and Billups is the second best all-around true point guard at his position, after J-Kidd.
What about and 1? Dont they have some good guys. I'd say Nike out of those 2. Too much love for Kobe.
Nike is better overall, but Adidas would probably have more chemistry going, and dang...I love the "It Takes 5ive" commercials. I think Nike would easily take it, but having Kobe on the team would, IMO, bring their chemistry down. I can't see anybody but Nash playing well with Kobe on that team, and I only say Nash would because he can play with anybody pretty good, setting them up and stuff. If Nike had someone other than Kobe, then Nike, but otherwise, I say Adidas would probably take it.And no, I am not "Kobe Hating" for all you Kobe lovers out there.
You can add Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, and Mike Bibby to team Nike. They are endorsed by Brand Jordan which is endorsed by Nike.
I would go for nike hands down, they have Amare also, and you can't go wrong with Kobe the greatest in the world, and Nash the best playmaker in the league.
Ray and Kobe had pretty good chemistry playing together in an all-star game 3 years ago. Even though Kobe lost one of rays passes that game. :thumbdn1:Nike for me. A player that needs a triple team outside and one that needs inside the perimeter... leads to many opportunities

I would definitely take Adidas. The downlow combo of Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett would be way to overpowering for the Nike squad to keep up with. Although I would give the edge to the Nike team at the PG, SG, and SF spot, I think Tim and Kevin would take over the game on the glass and in the paint. I take back what I said earlier about "definitely taking the Adidas team", but if I had to put my money on one of the teams, it would be them.
nike for sure. they have the two best players in the league, I don't see how they could possibly lose. not to mention the two-time league mvp and a player that led his team to the finals last year.
Man, look at the defense of the Adidas squad though. Billups, Garnett, and Duncan are definitely defensive monsters, and McGrady and Arenas are under-estimated when it comes to defense. I wouldn't say that LeBron, Nash, or Dirk are great defensive players.
