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
PF Pau Gasol

I think those 3 are quite even.
you put Duncan and Nowitzki in the same team. that's very uneven!
Wall
Ginobili
James
Griffin
Gasol
Parker
Kobe
Durant

^^^ those are all superstars! Durant? Nowitzki? Kobe? They wouldn't even need Tony Parker! haha
my bad will modify my teams
^Durant and Kobe on the same team it's like pairing LBJ and Wade ... euh wait..
Team Tim Duncan
C Matt Bonner
PF Tim Duncan
SF Keith Bogans
SG Roger Mason
PG Shane Heal
Team Tony Parker
C Ian Mahinmi
PF Boris Diaw
SF Nicolas Batum
SG Nando de Colo
PG Tony Parker
Team Manu Ginobili
C Andrea Bargnani
PF Luis Scola
SF Danilo Gallinari
SG Manu Ginobili
PG Pablo Prigioni
nope. Kobe knows how to win with equal talent.
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.
ah, i see what you're doing.
Interesting thread idea, but LMAO almost every team posted is F'in ridiculously stacked.
I only have TP for now but here is a starting five with the same payroll (I moved Dice in the starting five and have Batum on a rookie contract for more flexibility).
TP
SJax
Batum
Gasol
Howard
that's cause they're championship teams! anyways, i tried to make mine as plausible as i could. put 2 stars along duncan parker or ginobili, plus two other solid contributors....
Duncan
Howard
Iguodala
R. Allen
D. Williams
Parker
D. Wade
J. Smith
P. Gasol
Bogut
Ginobili
CP3
L. James
Boozer
Amar'e
Duncan
Nowitzki
Battier
Korver
Paul
Parker
Allen
Artest
Smith
Howard
Manu
Nash
Scola
Pietrus
Gasol
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.
Not related but a nice team would be Iverson, Kobe, Durant, Randolph and Blatche
I like that team, I would be a little worried defensively tough even with Pietrus
Pick and Roll FTW.
Manu, 'Bron, CP3, Amare, + oh yeah, Boozer, LMAO.
Thread's getting ridiculous, I guess I'll participate as well:
Manu
Kobe
Dwight Howard
Deron Williams
Kevin Love
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.
lol yeah I didnt really try
Manu, 'Bron, CP3, Amare, + oh yeah, Boozer, LMAO.
Thread's getting ridiculous, I guess I'll participate as well:
Manu
Kobe
Dwight Howard
Deron Williams
Kevin Love
I noticed that too. Too many players in this thread are right at that line between great players and superstars.
Parker
Rose
CP3
Nash
D. Williams
Super small ball.
