SF on the HS team = Tracy McGrady imo.

Could add in Jermaine O'Neal somewhere on that team too. LeBron also.

you should throw in 4 year college grads as well, just for kicks.

Europe:

PG Tony Parker / Jose Calderon
SG Drazen Petrovic / Sarunas Marciulonis
SF Peja Stojakovic / Toni Kukoc / Detlef Schrempf
PF Dirk Nowitzki / Pau Gasol / Andrei Kirilenko
C Arvydas Sabonis / Vlade Divac / Dino Radja / Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Kirilenko's not really a 4, but I wanted to stick him somewhere. Can't think of a better backup PG than Calderon at the moment.


The World team could take on Luol Deng, Nene, Barbosa, Rony Seikaly.

funny you mention dino radja. I remember a while back there was a thread about superstars that disappeared, and I mentioned his name, however everybody either didnt acknowledge me or didnt know who he was. Hugely underestimated talent in his prime.

Thanks Diophantos, used yours with the exception of Radja since I am trying to limit it to NBA performances (no Belov either)

Dino had a couple of good years in the NBA, but if you're looking for more of a full NBA career I could see leaving him off. Good player though. (But then why is Drazen there?)

Edited my last post to add some new names. Strange that Europe hasn't really produced many good NBA PG's, at least not that I can think of.

magohaydz

at the C on the world team, I'd be tempted to put in Manute Bol, purely for his 3 point shooting ability
