NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

[RaychelSnr]

With the NBA Finals beginning Tuesday night in Miami, the questions around here revolve around what that means in NBA 2K11.

So we have been asking this question: Who would we want starting for us in the NBA 2K Finals? Forget about the bench players, screw the sixth man, who are the starters leading us to victory?

To answer that question, I did not just pick the top-rated players in the game. No, this team complements one another to the point where I can’t lose to even the best players I have played. This is the ultimate team that will ensure you a clean, four-game sweep of any opponent.

This is nothing but a starting five that you know will win you that Larry O’Brien Trophy.

(Also, just for clarification, classic rosters are not involved. Sorry MJ.)

Rajon Rondo-There are enough points in the rest of the line up for him to focus on assists and running the offense. Can also run an amazing fast break with...

Dwayne Wade-Great athleticism, defense, and a decent mid-long range jumper. Can also finish at the rim and is a good passer. With 2 guys to stretch the floor he can penetrate and kick to...

Kevin Durant-Unlimited range. Fast enough to beat most guys big enough to check him, and can shoot over anyone else at the 3. Can run off ball screens with...

Dirk Nowitzki-Another floor stretcher. A 7 foot floor stretcher. Can post up anyone and hit a turn around jumper, or face up and hit a contested shot over most players. Not much of a rebounder but then there's...

Dwight Howard-20 and 14 says it all. The reigning defensive player of the year would defend the opposing teams best big and clean the glass. Also a pick and roll with Rondo/Wade and D12 would be ridiculous.

I think this team could win not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7...

I think these players compliment each other perfectly & would be a great "team".

PG: Derron Williams - Good size, great passer.
SG: Ray Allen - Great shooter & team defender
SF: Andre Iguodala - A poor mans LeBron, can defend the best perimeter player
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge - Great post player, can hit the outside shot
C: Dwight Howard - Best Center in the game, rebounds & blocks shots

[JerseySuave4]

Rondo can't shoot so Chris Paul at PG
Kobe at SG only because he's deadlier in the game than Wade even though at this point Wade is the better player in real life
Lebron at SF because he's unstoppable
KG or Bosh at PF because they can shoot lights from the midrange especially Bosh off the baseline screen and you have enough defense with Lebron and...
Dwight Howard on the inside, best rebounder and shot blocker.

Re: NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

As we're talking in game,I agree with 3/5 in the original article with Kobe at SG,Ibaka at PF and D12 at C.

I'd replace Nash with Paul. Paul is just as good on offense and better at the defensive end and will get more steals than Nash would.

Again at SF I'm going defense and taking Josh Smith. He can block shots like crazy,great rebounder and gets some steals. He's not as good as Lebron on offense but he can still drive the lane and knock down the 3.

Defense wins championships!
12-15 blocks per game with 8-15 steals.

PG - Lebron James: most unstoppable force on the game.
SG - Ray Allen: best 3pt shooter on the game
SF - Kevin Durant: pure shooter
PF - Kevin Garnett: best help defender in game (explain below)
C - Dirk Nowitzki: i can get "green" with his stroke everytime

My Gameplan
OFFENSE -- Let LeBron do his thing and score in the beginning. He is easily the most unstoppable person on the game. When everyone starts doubling him, thats when the fun begins. When someone comes to double, it obviously leaves someone open, look at my roster.....Who isn't gonna knock down a wide open shot?!?!? Easy buckets!

DEFENSE -- Run a 1-3-1 zone. Put Nowitzki in the middle and Garnett on the baseline. Lebron will have a field day with cross court passes. Easy buckets!

Do you want some wine with that cheese?

PG- Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
He can pass, shoot the jumper, get to the rim and play defense.

SG- Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat
He is athletic, can pass, get to the rim, finish in traffic, shoot the mid range jumper and play defense.

SF- LeBron James, Miami Heat
He is big, quick, and strong. He is a top 3 passer and scorer in the league. He is also a great leader and closer.

PF- Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Best post scorer in the game. Also has great range.

C- Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic
Can't turn down 20 points, 15 rebounds, and an intimidating low post presence.

Deron Williams
Kevin Durant (yes he's doesn't play the 2, but there's no rule saying you can't put players at different positions)
LeBron
