    Ok, so you've got a 5v5 of the above. What's your teams going to be?

    International
    C: Duncan
    F: Notwistki (sp)
    F: Ginobli
    G: Nash - not so sure about this pick tbh
    G: Parker

    Americans:
    C: Howard
    F: Garnett
    F: Lebron
    G: Kobe
    G: Chris Paul

    Didn't have much time to think about it so threw them up.

    I take Nash at 1, Ginobli at 2 and Turkoglu at 3. Wouldn't put Nash and Parker on the court at the same time anyway, it'd be one or the other.

    I think if I was matching up against that US team, I'd take Yao Ming and use Duncan at 4 instead of Nowitzki ... brings a more even matchup.

    Don't think you can mess much with that US team, although there's no straight shooter there. If you only had 5-5 I might take ray-ray instead of LeBron or Kobe or maybe Arenas instead of CP3. Yes, they're better players, but that matters not.

    I'd have to try get Andrew Bogut in there somewhere.

    Yeah I'd go with Arenas/Allen as 6th/7th men for the American team.

    As for the international team, I'd probably take Parker over Nash particularly with Ginobli & Duncan there, they'd be used to each other's style of play. As for Yao, I just don't like how he plays. :pac: Just so big and awkward and he's just a target for people looking to block his shot or to dunk on him. If I could have any international forward ever, it would be Olajuwon, no question. However, it's current players so I'll stick with my choices at PF & C. Turkoglu would definately be a good addition at 3.
