All Jerry Sloan team.

C: Kendrick Perkins
PF: Tim Duncan
SF: Shane Battier
SG: Richard Hamilton
PG: Deron Williams

(Kobe probably belongs in there, but, I couldn't bring myself to do it)
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

2nd All Sloan team

c: Andrew Bogut
pf: Tim Duncan
sf: Danny Granger
sg: Brandon Roy
pg: Rajan Rondo

I don't think Lebron, Kobe, Carmelo, nor Kobe would gel as seemlessly or without ego issues as these guys.


I can see Kobe settling down under Sloan. When it comes down to focusing on winning games, Kobe is the guy you want to have on your team.

Kobe is an extremely fierce competitor, defender, hard worker, and intense. Why wouldn't Sloan like that him? Kobe works with Jackson well and Jackson has a huge ego.

“Really, it's all about being on TV at the end of the day,” Bosh said. “Seriously. A guy can average 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds), and nobody really cares. If you don't see it (on U.S. national TV), then it doesn't really happen.”

Pure and wild primadonnism from RuPaul. That's what I'd call the anti-Sloan.

Yea. Good to know Bosh doesn't think playing hard matters when its not on TV. Also trying to be recognized for his stats, lame. Hope you like being new odom.

I remember there was talk in the middle of last season that Deron might recruit Bosh to come to Utah.

Thank goodness that didnt happen. I would prefer Boozer honestly over Bosh....
