Which all nba team would you take in 7 game series? 

Post#1 » by deneem4 » Fri May 24, 2019 9:44 am

All nba teams were just announced...

It was some major key players who didn’t play a lot of games or sustained injuries doing the regular season...which led to some controversial decisions for each all nba team...

If u had to pick a team that would win it all who would it be.

For matchups consider they all played each other a series and who ever won the best
(All players had the same health they entered or would enter the playoffs; series with)

I also included the notable mention squad with some alternatives



All-NBA First Team

Guard: Stephen Curry
Guard: James Harden
Forward: Paul George
Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Center: Nikola Jokic

All-NBA Second Team

Guard: Damian Lillard
Guard: Kyrie Irving
Forward: Kawhi Leonard
Forward: Kevin Durant
Center: Joel Embiid

All-NBA Third Team

Guard: Russell Westbrook
Guard: Kemba Walker
Forward: LeBron James
Forward: Blake Griffin
Center: Rudy Gobert

All-NBA Notable Mention

Ben Simmons (Cj McCollum) (Luka Doncic)
Bradley Beal
Klay Thompson
Lamarcus Aldridge (Draymond Green)
Karl Anthony Towns (Anthony Davis)

These are by votes originally but I put Draymond Luka and cj as alternatives because of the stars at they’re position and To make it interesting

***edit***
YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY PLAYER NOT LISTED IN THE FIRST 3 TEAMS TO BE HONORABLE MENTIONS
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!
Bron, Bosh, Wade is like Mike, Hakeem, barkley...3 top 5 picks from same draft

Edit:

I would choose second team with: Lillard,Irving,KD,Kawhi,Embiid. Two elite defenders plus 4 great outside shooters. Also you cant stop healthy Embiid posting people(Brown sucks posting Simmons..) and no one shuts down Durant,Kawhi who scores 32 ppg with 51-53% FG.

First team have too many non defenders like Curry,Harden. PG/Giannis/Jokic are worse version of KD/KL/Embiid(healthy!).

Klay for the all time great shooting+ defending the best PG/SG. I don't need Curry one way play, great shooting when I have KD+Kawhi
I would choose Kawhi, AD for their unlimited,versatile scoring ,shooting but also for locking the SF/PF/C positions.

Lebron as the playmaker,the leader who finds open Kawhi,KD,AD. You must 3 great defenders like Klay,Kawhi,AD. You don't need a PG with Lebron.

I love Thompson who is underrated,Davis is always top 5 no matter how his team suck.

But they would lose because Beal Simmons who dont belong anywhere near the same level of any top 10 players. Draymond cant stop Embiid or KD or Kawhi.

Other than AD,Thompson they have way too little elite scoring,shoot,paint domination.

Still it comes down to one Kawhi who is averaging 35 against the best defence against 5 stars Philly. KD who toyed with Clippers and Houston.

Essentially the second team has two elite midrange assassins who can get their points anywhere and defend well. It's like having two Durant or two Kawhi in the same team. Is CJ and Luka that good to beat two top 2 level players ?

The first team has a slight chance imo but switching Kawhi on Curry or Harden defending KD is not fun for them. PG,Harden is not KD,KL level. Curry is the best chance they have offensively but then there is two similar guards in Kyrie,Lillard to offset him going off.

There is a reason the real first team without injuries or the dislike for KD in GSW would be:

Curry
Harden
KL
Durant
Embiid

The first team is clearly the best, but if you put Kawhi on SG and take LeBron from the 3rd team or even Davis from not selected players, that combo team would be at least the same good.

All-NBA First Team

Guard: Stephen Curry
Guard: James Harden
Forward: Paul George
Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Center: Nikola Jokic

All-NBA Best of the rest Team

Guard: Kyrie Irving (Damian Lillard)
Guard: Kawhi Leonard
Forward: Kevin Durant
Forward: LeBron James (Anthony Davis)
Center: Joel Embiid

First team would be impossible to stop.
Can you imagine Jokic distributing to Curry and Harden instead of Murray and ... second guy? Woooh! That would be 140 average PPG team! Ball movement, 3pt shooting, dunks, backdoor cuts. That team would have it all.
Good luck winning it with 3 ISO players as main scorers from 2nd team.

That doesn't even make sense. George and Giannis were better defenders than Kawhi and Durant this year and Jokic can push Embiid. The opposite is also true, and the guards are clearly, so clearly better on the 1st team.

Giannis is better defender than Kawhi in RS world only when KL isnt playing defense because of load management.

This is not what IF Giannis cant defend Kawhi at all in real playoff series right now when he tried one on one in the perimeter while Kawhi is stopping the bigger Giannis in the paint despite injury. No it's not always help defence. Giannis is great rim protector but he is not KL,Draymond level defence so far in one on one, on the perimeter.

PG had better defence RS sure while KL barely played,called RS warmup... He has never defended that level in big playoff series.

Team 2. One of the best forward combinations in NBA history. Plenty of shooting. One of the best defensive Cs.
