USA vs The World NBA All-star game......

[cougjunkie]

I think this is what David Stern is hoping for someday. So if it were to happen today based on the following criteria:

2 centers
4 forwards
4 guards.
2 any position

Who do you have on the World team? My picks:

Starting 5:

C: Yao Ming (china)
PF: Tim Duncan (Virgin Islands, US territory but for this is works)
SF: Pau Gasol (Spain)
SG: Hedo Turkoglu (Turkey)
PG: Tony Parker (France)

Bench:

C:Nene (Brazil)
F: Dirk Nowitzki (Germany)
F:Luol Deng (England)
G:Steve Nash (canada)
G:Manu Ginobili (Argentina)
G: Jose Calderon (Spain)
F: Andrei Kirilenko (Russia)

Who would you add? Who would you leave off?

I'd give them the shitty guys like Fesenko. I'd even make a special exception that would allow Gordan Giricek and Raul Lopez to suit up.

Don't forget Jose Ortiz.

At one point I thought this was a good idea, but I don't anymore.

Hasn't Barangani been pretty good? Man the world isn't producing the ballers many would have us believe they are, if Nene is on the list.

Nene is having a big year this year. Thats why I included him. 15.1 points 8.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals in 30 minutes while shooting 61.7% from the floor.

Dennis Rodman.

Oh wait, he's just from another planet.

Yeah, that is a solid year. But an All-Star type year? Memo is putting up similar numbers this year (17.5 points, 8.3 boards, .8 steals, .7 blocks, 2 assists in 34 minutes a game) and I wouldn't consider him All-Star worthy. Solid season, but not All-Star.

If you go that route, you would have to pick the 12 of the following players for team USA:

Kevin Garnett
Dwight Howard
Lebron James
Chris Bosh
Amare Stoudamire
David West
Carlos Boozer
Danny Granger
Paul Pierce
Kobe Bryant
Chris Paul
Dwayne Wade
Carmello Anthony
Deron Williams
Brandon Roy
Chauncey Billups
Michael Redd
Tracy McGrady

18 guys off the top of my head who are all probably deserving of an All-Star bid, and you have to cut 6 of them each year?

I vote no.

Well lets see Boozer, Redd, Deron, Carmelo, Mcgrady, David West.

That was easy.

You feel like Luol Deng, Jose Calderon, Nene, Andre Kirilenko and Hedo Turkoglu are more deserving of All-Star spots than the guys above? I don't.
