    Re: No One Can Get Any Better

    lets take a look

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "defrocked":</div><div class="quote_post">How's this for a team?

    PG: Kidd
    SG: T-Mac
    SF: Garnett
    PF: Duncan
    C: Shaq
    ---------------
    PG: Francis
    SG: Kobe
    SF: Nowitzki
    PF: Webber
    C: Yao
    G/F: Pierce
    F/C: J. O'Neal</div>

    hmm...youre starting lienup would probably tend to put up more points than mine but whos passsing the ball besides Kidd. i think mine would have better D and I think my bech is better too. i mean u dont even have ben Wallace and youre a PISTONS fan! whats Yao gonna do against Shaq and Wallace. I also get one more player on the bench and IM adding Duncan. I may have too much bigmen to go around but you do too. i got more threes too

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "olskoolFunktitude":</div><div class="quote_post">eeewwww...rasheed wallace??

    i like your approach pacersrule but ron artest isnt the best D in the game.

    my lineup would rule everyone :mrgreen:

    starters:
    PG - Payton (still the best man for assists and puts up points too
    SG - Pierce (no doubt the toughest player in the game and among the most clutch - awesome D)
    SF - KG (Mr. 20 -10 and a monster on defense - he better be as tall as he is - probably best all around player in the game)
    PF - Dirk (Less D than Pdub and KG but great shooter including the 3)
    C - gotta be SHaq (u know the story but in this lineup hed be there for his D & R)

    bench:
    Francis (probably better than payton but more of a scorer)
    T-Mac (maybe the best straight scorer in the game)
    Wallace (Mr. 5 -20....lets just hope he can pass to whos next to him when he tears it down)
    Walker (great at pretty m uch everything especiially if ur behind and need 3s down the stretch)
    Jermaine (killer D, unstoppable down low)
    Iverson (a ton of steals a tone of points)</div>

    like i said too many scorers
    Payton 15+
    Pierce 20+
    KG 20+
    Dirk 20+
    Shaq 20+
    Francis T-Mac AI JO Wallace Walker do not want to be on bench
    that team would fall faster than you could say monkey butts smell good 200 times

    first of all none of these teams are going to happen cuz none of the stars mentioned would want to be on the becnh so we can take that out of consideration.

    not evreyone in my lineup is there to score. I wouldnt want shq putting up 30 ppg id just go to him when we NEED 2 points. paytons their to dish. my mane scorers would be dirk and pierce witht he other guys contributing their part. i also have the best derfense players in the game on that roster so other teams couldnt score as much. me team would simply kick IZAAAAAAAAASS

    I think all these teams would obviously be good.
    If you want to know which team would be better or which teams would beat each other
    I think you would have to look at the coaches.
    all the teams have obvious talent
    so i think it would depend on who had the better coach. The coach that could get the most out of his team, get his players to share the ball, and get all the egos to jell would probably have the better team.
    That being said i would want Rick Carlisle to coach my team.
    He has the Pistons playing great defense and team basketball. Which is why they have been winning. 8)

    You've got AI, Pierce, and Big Ben playing out of position. Pierce could easily handle the move, but AI is not meant to be a PG, and Big Ben is too small (6'8") to play C. He'll get worn down.

    Allen played the point in college and the NBA, he is passing more and more as the season progresses so that's why I chose him.

    Paul is a bit large for a SG but I think he could pull it off. In any case Vince and Paul could switch up. I always thought that Vince should play SG.

    Ben wouldn't get worn down, he is a defensive stopper and that's what it takes to be a center. He has strength and conditioning causing him to play effectively for a matter of time, anyways he would be coming off the bench and would not see much playing time.

    On another subject; did y'all see Darius Miles' hair. [​IMG]

    [​IMG] What happened to Miles's hair?????

    I agree, Ben Wallace is the perfect fit for a center, even if he isn't 7'1". He has a great wingspan, is stronger than half the feakishly tall centers out there, and his rebounding and blocking skills are just sick. On the offensive end he could still use just a little improvement. [​IMG]

    Trust me, guys. I watch him every game of the season. He can't handle 7'1'', 290 lb guys, even bad ones. They just push him around, regardless of arm size. He's unbelievable on guys his size, but bigger gives him problems.

    You're preaching to the choir here. Ben's my favorite player, but I had to point out a fact. Most people haven't seen Ben all that much, and just go on assumptions. He has exceptionally quick jumping ability, which leads to a lot of soft shots being sent right back, but you can't ask him to very guard guys like O'Neal and Ilgauskas. He gets beat up. Who doesn't though, in the case of Shaq. Yao has done the best of current Cs I've seen.

    Because I'm very unbiased. I have my favorites, but I also know that who I like best isn't necessarily the best. Ben was a close one, but he didn't make the cut. Rip wasn't even close to making it. And Pierce, as much as I dislike his team, is an amazing player. I respect his abilites greatly.
