Question

Here's your options:

Charles Barkley

Larry Bird

Clyde Drexler

Patrick Ewing

Magic Johnson

Michael Jordan

Christian Laettner

Karl Malone

Chris Mullin

Scottie Pippen

David Robinson

John Stockton

Jason Kidd

Deron Williams

Chris Paul

Michael Redd

Kobe Bryant

LeBron James

Carmelo Anthony

Tayshaun Prince

Carlos Boozer

Chris Bosh

Dwight Howard

Explain why your twelve man roster would be the best.

Answer 1

I would choose the 1992 team as it originally was. I would bring the current scrubs so they could take notes and carry the teams eqquippment and luggage

Answer 2

1- Majic Johnson( He is one of the true greatest ever.)

2- Micheal Jordon (He is The Greatest.)

3- Lebron James (He is very talented and best SF here)

4- Carl Malone (He is a great Pf, i might put him at center to)

5- Dwight Howard (Whenever you got a center with a 30 foot verticle jump, he starts)

These guys are on bench cuz they are good but not as good as starters.

1-3- Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade, Jason Kidd,

4,5- Scottie Pippen, Carmelo Anthony(3 and 4) Chris Bosh

This would be best because i got great gaurds, good versitile players(magic, melo, lebron) and a strong presence downlow without loosing the outside shooting.

Answer 3

Starting Five:

PG:  Magic Johnson (Best point guard of all-time) his size creates mismtaches.

SG:  Michael Jordan (He's M.J. enough said- and you put him there with guys who can pass) ouch!

SF:  Larry Bird- i know some will say LeBron but you need guys who can hit from the perimeter and Bird is the man!

PF:  David Robinson- i'd play him with D. Howard and go with some twin tower action.  It creates major matchup problems.

C:  Dwight Howard- He just needs to roll and dominate the paint.

Bench:

Kobe Bryant (SG):  What a guy to have off the bench.

LeBron James (SF):  You put him with Kobe off the bench wow!

Scottie Pippen (SF):  Great defensive stopper

Charles Barkley (SF/PF):  Great rebounder and can give you scoring and toughness.

Karl Malone (PF):  Gives you some toughness off the bench- it will allow your 2nd team to run.

John Stockton (PG):  Great backup and got to put him with Malone.

Dwayne Wade (SG ):  Looks great right now- and you you put him, Kobe, and LeBron (you can put one of them at point) together on the court- wow that's scary!!!  

*That 12th spot was tough- because i wanted another big guy- but you can always start Barkley or Malone and put Robinson on the bench.
