    A or D, the other two teams wouldn't have a chance. And Billups and Van Horne never played in the Pac, they don't deserve to be on there.

    I'm biased, but I'm going with the backcourt of Westbrook and Roy. (A)

    D would probably win. Kidd and Jabar are top level HOFers.

    D

    Kareem


    nuff said on that

    D's just decent at the other three positions but Kareem has the one thing he needs, a great pass first point guard.

    You're right, they don't lose.

    I do think A would try and run them out of the gym.

    Holy crap c is terrible. They got stuck with three of the six "every team needs a representative team so even though there are better options well put them here" guys.

    D wins hands down. Teams A and B have no chance of putting a body on Kareem. C does have some bodies in Gibson and Lopez, that at the very least could limit Kareem from scoring 50. However, team C would get eaten up by D in the backcourt. Brooks and Miller would get absolutely blasted by Kidd and Scott. Kidd in his prime was an absolute stud defensively, and Byron Scott was a very underrated defender too. I do like the Gary Payton and Billups combo on team B. That is a sneaky beastly backcourt, but Love is a defensive nightmare for his own team, and Ike Diogu is well...Ike Diogu

    Team C matchup wise might give team D the best game by losing by 15-20 points, but they would get destroyed by teams A and B.

    No kidding DNC... Aaron Brooks? Seriously? Terrell Brandon would have been a better option from Oregon.

    Also, why is Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye representing Arizona, when Gilbert Arenas and Andre Iguodala are far better options?

    Yep, A's only chance would be to run D off the court. They have the athletes to do it though. They can run 1-5 and they could rotate three different long, quick defenders on Kidd to try and keep him from feeding Kareem. But yeah everytime Kareem touched it it would be two points.

    The whole exercise is pointless without Walton though. How you make a list like this without at worst the second the best player in league history is a joke.
    Totally agree on Walton. But Arenas, and Iguodala are also obvious snubs. Give me Terrell Brandon over Aaron Brooks any day.

    Ed Obannon also cracks me up. He had a good college career but absolutely sucked in the pros. You put Obannon up against these guys, and he'd been absolutely exposed.
