SI asked NBA players who they would start a team with

[NYK_89]

Nash makes all his teammates look good...and so i wasn't surprised the players voted for him...also, look how he made Amare look and now how Gortat looks. I really think Nash can play at this current level for another 3-4 yrs. He takes care of his body.

what amar'e was fine last year come on he had basically his best season away from nash

Outside of Gordon being on there, it's a pretty good list.

one season isn't enough...you have to be consistent and thus far, he hasn't.

[JDRochholz]

Rose the highest rated PG among NBA players. End the top PG discussions now.......

[Josephpaul]

Lebron , I guess you have to get someone else to close games.....

[miltk]

other than gordon there's something mundane about this list.

did the players know this list was going to be published, because i'm wondering if they chose out of respect for the incumbent elites.

Is this supposed to be funny? Cause it isn't.

In their primes? Who would want to start a team with Kobe who has a few years left

so you can win right away? Who wants to waste their prime (since this survey was asking current players) on someone who may one day get it and be good instead of those who are great now?

[Buckcheeks]

Why is a Kobe bryant in his 16th season on that list. Its ludacris to start a franchise with a 33 year old guard...

Kobe is a soulja. He's a B.I.G. time player. He has a level of play that few other players xzibit. He has the juelz on his fingers to prove it. I think you're the only outkast to feel this way. My point is so eazy to prove.

[Clangus]

The reason players like Rubio are on there and Westbrook is not is that most NBA players care about "thier" shots.

The list is mostly crap is you were really building a team, BUT if you wanted to play on a team...you'd pick a pg that passes a lot

[BubbaTee]

Eric Gordon on the list =

Actual Question: Which NBA player would you start a team with?

What Players Heard: Which NBA player would you pick in a 2k12 franchise mode fantasy draft, with injuries toggled to "Off"?
