Hypothetical Basketball Starting 5 (Opinions Needed)
Posted on 8/20/14 at 12:25 pm

So a few of my friends and I decided to have a fake draft of basketball players. Basically, there were 4 of us and we were gonna play a round robin group stage type event. Whoever comes in 1st in the group is free, everyone else has to go to Angola forever and hoop there. We did a normal snake draft. We also said everyone is healthy. So Paul George and Kobe are physically healthy. Also, we said everyone will be playing a little harder. If you slack off, that could be what sends you to jail. Here are the results:
Team 1:
D Howard
LeBron
Paul George
Tony Parker
Klay Thompson
Team 2:
Chris Paul
K Love
Harden
K Leonard
Aldridge
Team 3:
Durant
Irving
Kobe
Duncan
Noah
Team 4:
Rose
Anthony Davis
Carmelo
Curry
D Cousins
So who is the best team that avoids Angola?

However, I don't get the high reference. And in my defense it was 1/2 Parkview 1/2 Mandeville...and this happened Saturday night when a few drinks were involved

This is a discussion that would take place after taking a few bong rips
Hence the high question

Do guys not normally sit around and talk about sports? We were having a discussion about who the best players were to make up a starting 5, and it turned into 4 teams who would win

Team 1 - Has LeBron so they are the favorites. However, I don't like the Tony Parker and Klay Thompson picks. Parker doesn't fit well with Lebron. The ball would be in Lebron's hands so why do you need Parker since he can't shoot? Parker is a waste on this team.
Team 2 - Probably the most balanced but that probably has a lot to do with CP3. CP3 & Love pick and roll would be sick. Don't know if they could keep up the scoring versus some of these other teams. But I could see this team being like the Spurs and go on a roll since they would probably have great chemistry.
Team 3 - I just don't feel like this team mixes well together. This team would all depend on how Kobe handles being second fiddle to Durant. I could see them playing like the Heat did in year one of Wade-LeBron. This team will go as KD goes. Hopefully Kobe doesn't try to steal the glory at the end of games.
Team 4 - This team is getting off the bus ready to score and score some more. Without a doubt this would be by far the most fun team to watch. However, I don't see this team playing any defense and Paul George and Lebron could definitely slow them down. I don't see this team winning it.
My predictions:
Team 1 - 1-2
Team 2 - 3-0
Team 3 - 0-3
Team 4 - 2-1

Since you're biased I'll bite.
George guards who...Curry or Melo? Bron guards Anthony Davis.
So Tony Parker vs Derrick Rose and Curry/Melo vs Klay Thompson...umm that's easy money.
Physically and talent wise it's Team 4 and not close

You messed up team 4 and team 2's records

Team 2 is the most complete team. They squeak out Team 4 in the final game of the day when the jumpshots aren't falling anymore.
