How do you guys feel Paul Pierce would do? I don't remember seeing anyone mention him being a top player.

I think Pierce is a bit slower to guard some fast guys.

I think the people who have the greatest combination of speed/quickness/strength/skill would reign supreme in this

Names that come to mind

Melo
Bron
Artest
Paul Pierce
Caron Butler

I think those TYPES of players (strong wings) have the best shots of winning it all.

I'd take him a month to get to the rack, but he'd still be preety effective.

He lost that quick first step he used to have. I don't know whether he got fat and slow, or he just can't use it as effectively due to double teams or what not. When it worked, he would jump out of the gym and dunk on people consistently.

I think Bosh could be a sleeper pick in this thing. He's pretty much everything KG is, just not as strong and aggresive. He's tall and quick enough to stay with most wings, but also has a great post game to dominate down low. Anyone bigger and slower would get beat off the dribble all day.

I don't necessarily think he'd win, but no ones mentioned him yet.

My fault. I see you DC.

Now that I'm thinking about it, Paul Pierce would be great against many. But, there are a few players that would be able to match Pierce's strength, but are quicker and more athletic than Pierce is nowadays.

Such as Kobe, Melo, LeBron, Artest, and big men such as Garnett, Nowitski, and Bosh.

I think Ray Allen would be a sleeper pick. His jumper is deadly and he possesses one of the quickest releases in the game. You have to respect that, and that allows him to get that first step on defenders. Especially if the game is played winners out, 1's and 2's. I know that when I play 1 on 1, I can get hot and hit 2 after 2. So I know that Ray Ray would be pretty unbeatable if he gets things going.

Ray Allen is definitely a sleeper pick.
