25 is just too much, against any NBA team, they're gonna use the shot clock on every possession, and get back on defense, not even the original Dream Team could get back many times from down 25 in 12 minutes. They could possibly do it 1 out of 50 times. Make it 18-20 points, and it's gets interesting.

Anyway, you would want elite 3 points shooters (you're gonna need to make at least 6-7 three pointers for a comeback) and a defensive anchor, who's a great rebounder, and a great help defender, shot blocker, because as someone else said, your guards gonna gamble for steals.

Nash
Wade
Lebron
Dirk
Dwight

I cover Nash's weaknesses with Wade and Lebron, who both gonna create havoc on the defensive end with Dwight. I have 2 knock down 3 point shooters on offense, the best fast breat squad (Nash, Wade, Lebron) of all-time, and a guy who i can go to in half court offense with a high chance of success when the other team stops the fast break. I have 2 elite clutch shooter, and another 2 very good crunchtime player, which i'll need, because even if they can climb back, you know it's be a one possession game at the end. I'm not sure how many games they would have to play to come back from 25 in one quarter, but i think they would be the best team to try it.

I want:

Derrick Rose (proven performer when needed)
Ray Allen (dead eye shooter)
Kevin Durant (clutch shooter, gets to the line)
Dirk Nowitzki (clutch inside/outside)
Al Horford (solid all around, good %'s, not prone to mistakes)

Not any team with Lebron. We'd be playing 4 vs 5.

Maybe Al Horford would be better?


Horford is also an interesting choice. He rebounds better and can still hit a midrange shot.

I like Aldridge better on the offensive end by quite a bit, though. He's extremely scary on the break and is also more dangerous in the pick and roll game.

04/05 Suns starting lineup:

Steve Nash
Joe Johnson
Q
Shawn Marion
Amare Stoudemire

That's the fastest lineup I ever did see with my own two eyes.
