It's about balance.... I don't want to just have starpower. Kobe is the no-doubt go-to guy on my first squad, which is fine, because I wouldn't want any power struggles. Kirilenko, Wallace, and Marion are about as good as you can get defensively, and with Kidd running the show, the offense will show up. I do admit that Duncan/Marion is pretty close, but I would absolutely want Kirilenko in this particular lineup over LeBron.
