    Re: NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

    I didn't go w/ LeBron because I think he dominates the ball too much which takes away from your PG runnin' the offense. You can't go wrong with LeBron obviously, I just think my team would play better together without him.

      i think to mix it up, i'd run a bit smaller

      nash or paul
      wade
      kobe
      lebron
      d.12
      myplayer:
      (1)5'10 PG, drafted 2nd round by the knicks. moved to the clippers in season 2
      (2)7'5 C, drafted 26th in 1st round by Thunder. After winning the championship with the Thunder, I signed with the Chicago Bulls

      NBA - Magic, Kings

        If I had to choose an in-game starting 5 for a championship team this would be the team. This team compliments each other with everyone having their own role. If you put to many scorers on one team it can be disastrous.

        PG- Rondo- better defense than most other pgs, cant shoot worth crap but can drive the lane and has great vision.

        SG- Wade- Provides another source of athleticism, can slash to the basket for and-ones and easy buckets. Doesn't provide a great threat from the perimeter but can knock it down. Great threat from mid-range however and create his own shot. Also a great source of defense.

        SF- Lebron James- Obvious choice here. He provides great athleticism and defense while also giving you an unstoppable force on offense. Has the greatest vision for passing of a forward and can find the open options when they double. This would be my primary scorer.

        PF- Dirk Nowitzki- Hard choice here just because most good PFs don't provide great defense, ex Bosh, Boozer, Gasol, and including Nowitzki. Garnett is one of the only ones with good defense but can't provide a lot if minutes. With Nowitzki he provides height, a great touch from everywhere on the floor and provides a great out pass destination for lebron and wade when other teams crash the middle when the slash inside.

        C- Dwight Howard- Easy choice here. Provides great athleticism and gives you rebounds and blocks with numerous second chance opportunities. He also doesn't need to be your dominant scorer but can take over against weaker centers.

            PG - Dwyane Wade.

            Can do it all on both ends of the court. Has the size and strength advantage over most point guards but can still defend the position well.

            Sg - Rudy Gay.

            Same as Wade. Can defend the position well and has height and length advantage over most shooting guards. Also doesn't dominate the ball.

            SF - lebron James.

            Since Wade and gay are at the guard positions, lebron will handle the ball and facilitate the offense. Can defend all positions.

            Pf - Dirk nowitzki

            Aside from gay, not really any knock down shooters from the arc. Dirk adds an element of offense at the expense of defense. But the four other players are exceptional defenders that will make up it.

            C - Dwight Howard.

            Superstar banger. Best defender and rebounder at his position. Awesome defensive paint presence.

            With these 5, you get great defense, shooting, good ball movement with Dirk and lebron, clutch finishers at 3 or 4 positions, slashers and size. Also have 5 guys that can play great fast break ball or half court ball.

              All of your selections are nice. If I had to pick a team of unnamed players so far, I think I could still compete

              PG - Westbrook
              SG - Joe Johnson
              SF - Carmelo
              PF - Duncan
              C - Gasol

                Re: NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

                The right answer is that you put LeBron James at the 1. LeBron James is the best point guard, shooting guard, small forward, and power forward in this game.

                So...

                PG - LeBron James

                SG - Ray Allen
                Of all the players that can consistently give me at least 2-3 3s a game, he's the most complete player. Even if he's been cold or night I still have confidence shooting with him. Closer at the free throw line.

                SF - Gerald Wallace
                A guy who can fill up the stat sheet in all sorts of ways and a good defender, isn't a liability on offense and can run with LeBron on the break.

                PF - Dirk Nowitzki
                The best 'stretch 4' there is. A jumpshooting big man is really useful considering the players I'm using. Another closer at the free throw line.

                C - Dwight Howard
                I think pretty much everyone has him in their line up

                  PG - Rose. C'mon how can you NOT have the MVP on your roster??
                  SG - Wade. Not a Kobe guy. Wade can defend and he doesn't command the ball like Kobe, also younger.
                  SF - Durant. Unlimated range, best shooter in the game.
                  PF - Paul Gasol. Has decent range, cleans the boards well, and can create offense in the low post or eat least draw a foul
                  C - Shaq...just kidding. D12 is the only choice here.

                    Re: NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

                    PG: Rose, with the newest roster updates Rose is just dominant. It's unfair to have him running the show.

                    SG: Kobe, the Black Mamba is the easy choice here. As clutch as they come and his three point shooting is deadly in key situations.

                    SF: Rudy Gay, love his playing style, nothing against LeBron at all I just find Rudy Gay to be a lot better in the game for me personally.

                    PF: Gerald Wallace, I'm going small and athletic here. G-Dub can absolutely turn around a game with his defense and fast break points.

                    C: Dwight Howard, this is really the only choice at the C position. An athletic force down low.


                    Extra Points for my best bench players.

                    PG: Russel Westbrook, cut from the same mold as Derrick Rose, athletic point guard who can rack up steals.

                    SF: Kevin Durant, athletic swing man who can knock down jumpers with deadly accuracy. Extremely explosive in the fast break.

                    PF: Pau Gasol, the best all around PF in the game, the only reason I went with G-Force at the four is because I wanted an athletic defensive minded line up....

                      Re: NBA 2K11: Finals Starting Five

                      PG - Steve Nash: A great passer who will get everyone else on the team involved. Commands attention on offense because of his great shooting ability which stops the defense from sagging onto the post players, this is the main reason I take him over Rondo. Has the ability to run the Pick and Roll/Pop with to near perfection with this team.

                      SG - Kobe Bryant: One of, if not the best in the game when it comes to closing it out down the stretch. Can also defend the other team's best player and score from anywhere on the court.

                      SF - Carmelo Anthony: Great shooter from all over the court, big and strong, a better defender in the game than in real life.

                      PF - Dirk Nowitzki: Obvious choice at this point, has the ability to take the game over with his scoring on any given night. Him and Nash would be deadly off the Pick together with him having the ability to pop or roll and Nash being able to pass to him, Kobe or shoot himself. A threat to score anywhere inside of half court, has shown the ability to play defense and rebound when it's necessary and his offensive arsenal will keep the double team away from...

                      C - Dwight Howard. Obvious choice, a monster on the glass and down low Dwight would be the anchor of the team. With multiple player's who can get him the ball and a team that forces everyone to play honest Dwight has the ability to dominate both ends of the floor with his rebounding, defense and second chance points.

                            NBA 2k11 has a salary cap right? and team chemistry turned on. I refuse to believe you could keep a team of superstars happy.

                            1. Derrick Rose - Energetic ball handler who will run the offence. Great, giving attitude helps offence. Defensively great. ($5.5 million this year)
                            2. Jason Terry - Floor spacing extraordinaire. A consumate shooter who will accept the 3rd scoring role and an effort defender. ($9.8 million this year)
                            3. Grant Hill - The Ageless Wonder. Easily the best one-on-one defender (on 4 positions) in the league. I don't care what the game says, in real life - he shuts superstars down. ($3.2 million this year)
                            4. Dirk Nowitzki - Beats out Randolph purely on his ability to handle any defence thrown at him. Exactly the compliment to D-Rose's gun-ho offensive style ($17.3 Million this year)
                            5. Joakim Noah - Offensive Glass wins championships, see the Lakers in 2009-10 ($3.2 million this year)

                            A first ring for all involved with $19 million in cap room for a bench.

                            Aside: I also fantasy drafted a team a while back which the game rated 1st defensively, 3rd offensively and 1st overall
                            1. Mo Williams
                            2. Manu Ginobli
                            3. Terrence Williams
                            4. Lemarcus Aldrige
                            5. Dwight Howard.

                                C-Noah - Knows his role. Provides super star defense & boards. Great hustle and energy
                                PF-Nowitzki - Amazing performer but doesn't ball hog, can share with....
                                SF-James - Most dominant player in the league, and makes all his team mates better
                                SG-Wade - Wade & James have shown they can work together well. Kobe hasn't looked dominant since paul pierce shut him down in the finals. The mamba is dry, it needs to be moisterized.
                                PG-Kidd - We got a enough big names, we don't need a scorer here we need someone who's gonna be smart and handle the ball well.
