    I'd replace Kobe with Melo and move KD to SG.

    And I'd replace Gasol with one of the most clutch players in the last decade: Nowitzki. Or even Bosh.

    Man I absolutely hate Melo's game. The guy is an incredible offensive player but everything else about the guy sucks. Plays zero defense, doesn't get many assist, not a good team player and doesn't make his teammates around him better (which is the number 1 reason his teams always seem to lose). I would take Kobe at 80% rather than Melo at 100%. Sorry just my opinion.

    I think y'all are missing the premise. This is the all-testicle team. As in guys I want taking the last shot.

    I guess it depends on how you look at it. I took it as the guy who would step up his game no matter what the situation is offense or defense. Offensively Melo is special but in a 1 dimensional way ;)

    No idea why Lillard would start over CP3 on this weird testicles team

    That horrible game against the Thunder at the end aside, Chris Paul is a killer and I hate going against him.

    If we ignore the points against my argument, then my argument makes perfect sense!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Really? One game is "the points against the argument?"

    Really what RoyToy should have said is "That horrible game against the Thunder at the end notwithstanding," because one game is in no way a meaningful counter-argument. That game should be counted, as should all of Paul's games, and he's still a killer.
