Name a starting lineup for Duncan, Parker and Ginobili [Archive]

If you were to build a different championship team for each Duncan, Parker and Ginobili who would they be? This is something I've thought about before when I think of special players who I think would play well with any of these guys.

So name the starting lineup. You can have 2 more all-stars but no more. The players also have to be current players and they can also be any Spurs current player as well. And finally name the team that would most likely win in a 7 game series.

I'll go first.

Duncan's team:

PF: Duncan
C: Lamar Odom
SF: Lebron James
SG: Andre Iguodala
PG: George Hill

Parker's team:

PF: Paul Milsap
C: Dwight Howard
SF: Danny Granger
SG: Marco Belinelli
PG: Tony Parker

Ginobili's team:

PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Joakim Noah
SF: Ron Artest
SG: Manu Ginobili
PG: Rajon Rondo

I think these are all very solid teams but I think it would be between Duncan and Ginobili's team in a 7 game series with Duncan's coming out on top.

Parker's team sounds very appealing and I think would definitely matchup well against the other teams. I think that it would definitely be a solid contender but doesn't come close to Ginobili's offensive/defensive minded team, much less to Duncan's.
All of them (Duncan's team) can hit 3's with the exception of Duncan and they are all defensive minded players. The team also has 3 solid rebounders and shot blockers. As opposed to Ginobili's team, which I think is the most interesting of the 3. I've always wondered what it would be like if Ginobili and Nowitzki were to play together. Simply put, they would be the toughest 2-man players to guard! This is also a very defensive team with Artest, Noah and Rondo being solid scorers and role players. In the end, I think it's the team with the toughest defensive and length that wins. Duncan's team in 6 or 7 games! :)

What do you guys think?

C Duncan´s
PF Dirk Nowitzki
SF Stephen Jackson
SG Michael Redd
PG Chris Paul

Parker´s
C Dwight Howard
PF Anderson Varejao
SF Danny Granger
SG Ray Allen

Ginobili´s

C Andrew Bogut

I think those 3 are quite even.

nah no biggie. i just thought it be interesting to see which plausible players our big 3 could play well with. that's why i said no more than two superstars. but there could be great role players like paul milsap, or joakim noah who have some star studded performances in some nights.

i think duncan and james would compliment themselves very well. you add in odom whose won championships, this is a very great team. i'd say if duncan and james played together in their prime, they'd make a team that could compete with some of the best in nba history, including 96 bulls. but then again that's what was said of this year's miami... so whatever.

i still think ginobili and nowitzki would be a wonder to watch. so many ways they could beat you. drawing fouls, in the paint, outside the arc, very very tough guys to cover.... just to imagine.

well the point is it exists one ball to share so maybe kobe knows how to win with equal talent but I'm not sure he would be ready to decrease his 25 FGAs per game. Durant needs also 25. I hope the rest of the team doesn't need the ball in their hands to play the game.

LOL, I'm not sure Kobe + AI in his prime would work too well, they'd be battling each other for shots when they're on the same team. Add Durant to that? Then maybe his clean cut image would be tainted..I'm not sure how he would feel taking 2 shots per game.

Tried to use the really good players on only one team and stick to a theme. I would say Duncan's defensive team wins because even if the shot is not falling they would keep it close.

:lol I was joking around after the idea to put Kobe and Durant on the same team then you add Iverson with two scoring bigs and you have a recipe for a royal mess ! This team would need to shoot the ball in less than 3 seconds to have a chance to please everybody.

Ok, this is a better idea. But really, instead of reaching for some pretty obsure players like you did, you could really field a pretty good team from the Justice League alone. It's simple but you can't argue how good they would be.

Apache Chief
Superman
Ginobli
Zan and Jayna (Wonder Twins)

The selection the Wonder Twins might seem dubious but after much thought, I decided that Zan's ability to turn himself into a liquid version of anything made it a no brainer. The idea being that as a worst case scenario, he could turn himself into an ice robot version of whoever was on the other team and neutralize them. I think he could also turn himself into two or three ice players as long as they were connected by a thin segment of water.

This is actually a pretty entertaining topic, and something I may borrow (steal) for a post if I have the time.

Interesting to see most think Dirk would be a better fit with Duncan than Parker. Seems to me you'd want a young, athletic 4 to pair with Duncan, and a guy like Dirk would help to keep the middle open for Parker and balance out the front and backcourt shooting.

As for Manu, as long as you give him Griffin, Keith Bogans could be on the team. (Exaggerating, but I can't imagine the nightmare that duo would pose in the pick-and-roll.)

See, that would play right into my teams' hands. I would have Zan turn into the form of an Ice God, an Ice Holy Spirit, an Ice Jesus and an Ice 12 year old boy, all connected by a thin stream of water. The first three neutralze your trinity and the 12 year old keeps the Pope distracted. I'm confident that Jayna, as a Polar Bear, would wear down Hagee. The boy will be able to take the Pope.

Zan turning into an Ice God violates the creating a false god rules, resulting in a techincal foul the first time, an ejection into the lake of fire the 2nd time.
