    Non-Star Championship Team

    The game is built around stars. It all starts and ends with stars. We know that, but which group, of players which aren't top tier stars right now, can make it through the entire 82 season, enter the playoffs, and then, take it all against a matchup in a 7 game series (against what's considered NBA's best: Thunder, Heat, Spurs, Clippers/Knicks/Lakers)


    You guys can mix and match players from different teams, previous all stars, and/or former championship teams, just not players in any of the past couple all star games (2012 & 2013) and they have to be active.

    The whole idea is to come up with a group which no one would see coming if such a season started tomorrow. Remember, this group has to make it through the entire season, enter the playoffs, and then, take it all against any matchup in a 7 game series (more than likely against your typical Thunder, Heat, Spurs, Clippers/Knicks/Lakers)

    You can disregard any current injuries your selected players have in order to star the season fresh, but you still have take into account any injuries players my sustain during this one year.


    I have about 50 candidates, and once I narrow them down to 15, I will post the list with my logic explained.

    Let's see what you got!

              Off the top of my head about half the teams in the league fit in this bucket. You could give it a try with really any of them.

                    Re: Non-Star Championship Team

                    My starting five would have to be

                    PG: Mike Conley
                    SG: Monta Ellis
                    SF: Nicolas Batum
                    PF: Al Jefferson
                    C: Greg Monroe

                    That is all-star appearances in the last three years as the reference for a "star." But I think that is a pretty solid team. I would've probably taken DeMarcus Cousins over Monroe, but if this is real-life I wouldn't want to take on a nutcase like him.

                      Talent wise, this is definately among the best you can do without picking all-stars, but none of them really have it in them to go all the way.
