Who would you pick for an all NBA team that you like to have as a franchise team meaning you have to add in age as a factorPG- Chris Paul. I just think he is going to be a great PG, he is rly pulling alon the Hornets as wellSG- Dwayne Wade. Do you really need an explanation.SF- Lebron James. Look up.PF- Dwight Howard. The man is animal enough said. A close contener was Stoudamire.C- Shaq. You need soe verteran ship.
PG- Chris Paul- Already top 5 PGSG- Dwayne Wade- No explainationSF- Lebron James- No explainationPF- Amare Stoudemire- Even after all he went through he is still an athletic freakC- Emeka Okafor- Dude is a monsterThat is my list, assuming I was a GM and my first pick was a center, or PG, etc...
Dwyane Wade is a great player no doubt about it, but if your going to say shaq and add in age as a factor, you should also add injuries as a factor as well. Back to the dwade thing, I think you would have to put kobe ahead of Dwade even though I love dwade, Kobe is oviously the better allaround player right now.

If you took him off the team last year I doubt they even get 30 wins. OK this year they were doing well without Kobe because they were more confident and were expirenceed another year with bassically almost the same squad.

I think people overate kobe being a ballhog, Kobe's been passing more and I think he's starting to gain more confidence in Lamar Odom. Kobe is probaly the best player in the NBA right now, I know Lebron is close but at this moment of time Kobe is the best. Kobe does basically everything a team would want, I mean kobe can shoot to much sometimes but Kobe has great skills. I think the only reason Kobe hasen't passed much in the future is because he diden't have confidence in his teamates. I think the situation with kobe and shaq was overblown because Kobe passed it a lot actually. I think there are just to many kobe haters in this world who don't appreciate Kobe.

PG-Chris PaulSG-Dwyane WadeSF-Lebron JamesPF-Dwight HowardC-Amare StoudemireThat would be the best team you could possibly compile for the future. Of course, scratch out Amare and put in Greg Oden next year.
Dwyane Wade over Kobe? :shokG- Chris Paul. SG- Kobe BryantSF- Lebron JamesPF- Dwight HowardC- Yao Ming

Let's wait 'till we see Oden do ANYTHING at the college or pro level before we say he will replace any of these guys.
PG Chris PaulSG Dwyane WadeSF Lebron JamesPF Chris BoshC Dwight HowardI'm not completely sold that Amare is 100%.
Oden will be the best Center in the League verys oon. He is too good of a prospect to turn out to be a bust. Amare isnt a great defender, rebounder, he doesn't have a great post game, and he might not ever be the same again.I'd much rather have Oden than Amare. Sure, Amare will give you fast break offense, but the rest fo the guys give you enough offense anyway. Oden will score just as much - maybe even more, but in more confinded ways. He excels at defense, rebounding, and shotblocking too, which are the 3 things that a Center should be able to do well imo.

You can't pour 37PPG on TIM DUNCAN and not be doing something right in the post.Again, you say he is such a great _____ and ______, but he has never played a minute in ball higher than the HS level. It is easy to be a great defender and rebounder when you are facing HS's and you are 7ft+. Amare 2 years ago was arguably the best big man in the game, and a lot of people are forgetting that. He didn't just do it on the fastbreak, either. He played well with Nash, without Nash, on one on one post ups, etc... He has an unstoppable spin move, nice little hook shot, can jump over anyone, and when all else fails he can get ball at around 15ft and drive it in. Even though he is not at 100% yet and still rusty, he has shown he still can drop over 20 purely off of his athleticism, spin moves and driving ability. Oden hasn't played at all on even the college level yet, so I am not sold there.

You get two superstar scorers in LeBron/D-Wade, you get the future best PG in the NBA in Paul, you get two great post players on both ends of the floor with toughness/tenacity, and you get true winners.

But the topic says All NBA current team, so I figure that it's for whoever is currently playing.
