Rules as follows.

1. Choose any player in NBA history who has played in the NBA and has been an Allstar - this player is your goat lol

No one else on your team can be an allstar player.

So NO combining Shaq/Jordan etc because they've both been an Allstar player

2. List your team's weakness's and strengths, I myself probably going to fail lols.

3. Have fun damn it... It's the offseason, actually this should be rule 1

C)Walker Kessler Is my Center, just because I'm a Laker fan and I want him on the current Lakers so badly lols Utah fans you know what I'm talking about LOL +11.1ppg

PF) I'm rolling with Marcus Camby the defense Kessler/Camby OMG - Best PPG +14.8ppg

SF) Lamar OdomOdom's complete game would be suited - best year +17.1 ppg - Thought about Robert Horry but Odom's complete game overrules, sorry Horry

SG) Kobe Bryant - no words need It's Kobe +35.4 ppg

PG) Jason Terry - I want someone who can not only score the ball but also pass the ball and being a non allstar player I feel like JT can be this guy +19.7ppg best year his best year at assist 7.4asp I'm rolling with it.

6th man of the year for me
Josh Hart. I want someone who can just do their role no complaints nothing rebounds the ball well, plays defense solid 6th man for me - Josh Hart PPG +13.6ppg would love him back on the Lakers

Total average for team PPG going by players best year averages in points
111.7 ppg If everyone plays there career averages

I'm also hoping this team's defense would wreck most teams and keep them under 110ppg


My Team

Kessler, Camby, Odom, Kobe, J Terry, J.Hart.


Weakness: Scoring, shooting 3's?, perimeter defense?

Strenghts; Interior defense, pick n rolls. hmm honestly can't think of anything else in my state lols.

+1's to anyone who can create a team with more scoring.

hopefully this an easy read and follow lol. :party:

PG: Rod Strickland - made all NBA but somehow never and all star team.
SG: Ron Harper - was legit pre-injury, also had a beast of a rookie campaign
SF: Tony Kukoc - tough pick over Cedric Maxwell and Odom. Mostly for his shooting skills and I believe he'd thrive in today's nba.
PF: LeBron James - over Jordan for team balance purposes
C: Marcus Camby - former DPOY but never an allstar.

Can you add you best PPG per player? I'm too wasted atm to do it.

You can use the championship Nuggets or even the current Nuggets team:

Jamal Murray +21.4
Christian Braun +15.4
Cam Johnson +18.8
Aaron Gordon +17.6
Nikola Jokic +29.6

6th man: Tim Hardaway Jr. +19.1

Total: 121.90

Damn it that's cheating, but my team would wreck your team and they would stop the Nuggets with my defense of Kessler/Camby/Odom GG Nuggets :nod:

I mean, you can build an endless permutation of teams with only 1 All-Star player. You never said the team has to be good.

I like your individual players but collectively that team will have so much shooting problems. Also none of those 3 are stopping Jokic. Jokic currently averages 29/11/9 on 64/44/80 shooting splits against Kessler. No one on my team can individually guard Kobe also but it is significantly easier when you can double off of so many non-shooters.

Fun exercise though.

You should take a look at Kessler's stats vs Jokic not only on the offensive side of things, but also defense side of things vs Jokic - Jokic vs Kessler isn't that special Kessler wrecks him (doesn't shut him down, but holds his own), Ad in Camby defensive stopper himself and also Odom this forces Jokic to pass the ball and rely on his tm8s a lot more this is epic fail vs my team I see Denver getting around maybe just over 100 a game if lucky, their shots outside of Jokic will have to fall and we've all seen how this goes :)..

Jamal Murray (21.4)
Derek Harper (19.7)
Shane Battier (14.4)
LeBron James (31.4)
Myles Turner (18.0)

6th Man: Jason Terry (19.7)

For some if not all of the players I would choose other versions than the ones with max ppg though.

PG: Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
SG: Drazen Petrovic
SF: Ron Harper
PF: LeBron James
C: Arvydas Sabonis/Marcus Camby - This was a tie for me. I'd take pre-NBA Sabonis all day. He would've been a Top 10 all-time NBA Center if he came over when he got drafted, and I don't think the Bulls would've been the dynasty they were if Sabonis was in the NBA in those early 90's.
