Why Phil? D'Antoni's offensive scheme is so much better for this group of players.

PG - Nash
SG - Bryant
SF - Lebron
PF - Duncan
C - Wallace
Coach - D'Antoni

Honorable mention to Marion, who is as underrated as an all-star can be, and Amare, who pn3ed Duncan last season in the playoffs but I can't give him a spot due to his current status.

To be perfectly honest...I could coach this team.

[Hornacek]

PG- Chauncey
SG- Kobe
SF- Garnett
PF- Brand
C- Amare

Coach- Rick Carlisle


Garnett and Brand probably won't want to and won't have to score. They can D up and grab boards all day long. Chauncey will sit around, dish, and shoot the open three. Kobe gets to chuck shots as much as he wants, unless he sees Amare wide open under the basket.

As for coach, we've seen what this man can do with a starting lineup of Anthony Johnson, Fred Jones, James Jones, Austin Croshere, and David Harrison. He's had overachieving teams every year. He's be pretty sick with real talent, especially the defensive monsters to fit alongside his mantra.

All of my starting five are defensive beasts, with the exception of Amare (so naysayers, substitute Duncan if you want). I just don't think Duncan fits as well.

[jerome baker]

c - kg
pf - brand
sf - marion
sg - kb
pg - james

gotta have players that "play on both ends of the court"

besides, these players wouldn't even care if kb ball hogs like jordan.

duncan - should be on the list if he runs and jumps better.
shaq - please. he's just never in optimal shape.

only players you can replace are kb with allen.
and nash with james (although im not so sure with this one).

Best superstar lineup:

PG- AllenIverson
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Lebron James
PF- Elton Brand
C- Shaq

[Victor]

ok heres my lineup.

pg: lbj
sg: kobe
sf/pf: garnett and duncan
c: ben wallace

PG- Billups, I think he is just sooo much better defensively than any of his competition and you're gonna want that for a team like this.

SG- Redd, close between him and Ray Allen, I like the pure shooter for the abundant kickouts. No way I let Kobe anywhere near this team.

SF- LeBron, I think a 3 who can handle the ball is key here and he'll rack up steals with strong D behind him. Also, his mismatch potential in the post on a team like this is off the charts.

PF- KG
C- Duncan, I don't care if Timmy doesn't like playing C, he'd get over it and I think you have to find a way to get KG on the floor.

If Duncan hypothetically refused to play C, I'd move him to the 4 and put in Big Ben.

Coach- Gotta be Phil

I thought a lot about putting AK47 at the 3, and he's the first guy I would want in off the bench

[MightyMouse2]

PG- TJ Ford
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Shawn Marion
PF- Amare
C- Duncan

Players I had a hard time leaving off: KG, AK47, Bron Bron, Artest, Nash, Kendrick Perkins (HAHAHA JK but i think hes gonna be a 14 and 12 guy by next year).
Of these guys, only two can create their own shot (Duncan and Kobe), they are all premier defenders, and Ford is such a good passer (we would be ignoring injuries as this is a dream anyway.)

EDIT: coach- doc rivers. HAHAHHAAHAHHA just kidding. Gotta be Carlisle.

Taking Redd over Bryant... WTF?
