BBF 2000's All Decade Team

[King Joseus]

Added Wade to the poll.

also I'd play Kidd in the 'closers with deficit' squad since you need to D up and create empty possessions and turnovers to catch the other team

people are sleeping on Wade

Eh. Talent wise he blows a guy like Ray Allen out of the water, but how valuable is Wade on a team that already has Kobe and LeBron? They both do what he does, just at a higher level. I feel like bringing in a shooter off the bench helps balance this team better, especially in situations where a Kidd/?/LeBron/Duncan/Shaquille lineup is possible.

I would honestly rather swap Webber in for Dirk than omit Allen for Wade. At least when you take out Dirk's shooting you get C-Webb's passing ability.

Which makes me question whether or not I'd rather have Howard than Wade...

We need some more voters. It looks like Dirk will be in, but there are tight races for the last two spots.

[Dornado]

I didn't read the OP and was basing votes off of accomplishments/resume.... in case anyone is wondering why I threw Allen Iverson a vote.

I will say, that for a guy that scored 30 ppg something like 6 times in that decade and made the all-star team literally every year of the decade, I'm surprised at how little love he gets. Allen Iverson put teams on his back... and seemed to have a better success rate than a guy like Tracy McGrady, who people seem to love now that his career is over.

Iverson was the solution and the problem for those teams - he was a ball pounding clock eating high volume low efficiency chucker

and no way does he work well with the rest of this team - Kobe would choke him out within 5 minutes of his first floor time

Ray Allen I can see over Wade if all youre worried about is the shooting, the argument can certainly be made at least

[Basel]

Dirk, Pierce, Wade.

Your All-Offense team doesn't have Kobe?

Or Dirk. There are some pretty great offensive players on that roster.

[e-monk]

you'd have more floor balance if you pulled Tmac and slid Lebron to the 3 to make room for Dirk - that would be a hell of an inside out combo at the 4/5

[Wade County]

PG - Steve Nash/Allen Iverson
SG - Kobe Bryant/Dwyane Wade
SF - Lebron James/Tracy McGrady
PF - Kevin Garnett/Dirk Nowitzki
C - Shaq/Tim Duncan

[King Sancho Fantastic]

Prime Duncan and KG with Lebron and Prime Kobe ball hawking on D.... Nasty.
