Jason "Hit Me" Kidd
The Floor General
(NBA champion 2011 with Dallas) led a doormat NJ Nets team to back-to-back Finals with the
paltry help of Kerry Kittles, Kenyon Martin, Jason Collins, and Keith Van Horn. He was 2nd in voting for MVP behind Tim Duncan. Defensive PG; 4-time All-Defensive First Team. His career averaged a double double (pts/ast) and was well known for his rebounding ability (6.8/game). He could hit 36% from 3, so he wasn't often being left unguarded behind the line. Was the leader of the Run and Gun Suns, boring as hell NJ Nets (but still East Champs x2), and Championship Mavs.
Dwyane "FLASH" Wade
(3x NBA champion 2006 [Finals MVP], 2012, 2013) and Scoring Champion (2009).
Won first NBA championship in his 3rd year; His 33.8 PER in the NBA finals was ranked by ESPN as the greatest Finals performance since the NBA-ABA Merger. Terrific passer; 7.5 apg/career. Could create offense on his own. Teamed up with Shaq (or in my case, Embiid) and proved to be a money maker.
Dominique "The HUMAN HIGHLIGHT FILM" Wilkins
Scoring champion 1986; 2x slam dunk champion. Best known as an acrobatic, outstanding finisher, he also had range: he hit 38.8% from 3 when he played for Boston (1.7/4.5 attempts per game). My best off-the-ball player given his ability to get so much air. His acrobatics make him perfect for today's lob/oop plays: throw him the ball and he'll slam it down over defenders. He hated the rim so much.
Front Court: Wallace and Embiid gives you lots of length and decent outside shooting with trailer jumpers, on setscreens, or simply shooting over the top of defenses. They’re both able to throw down and get physical to win (No one is pushing these two, ahem MALICE AT THE PALACE ‘SHEED).
Rasheed Wallace
40 technicals in a year once, bitched out Tim Donaghy on a loading dock. Proved he was a team-first/win-first player when he was a key part of the 2004 Detroit Pistons championship team. Hit 36% from 3. Stretched defenses, but could play with his back to the basket at 6'11'/230lbs.
Joel Embiid
7 footer who can stretch defenses, shoot the 3, scores in bunches (27ppg, 13rpg). Defensive beast. He became one of seven players with 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 200 blocks in his first 100 games, joining
Tim Duncan,
Shaquille O'Neal,
Alonzo Mourning,
David Robinson,
Hakeem Olajuwon and
Ralph Sampson.
Pau Gasol
Hit 49.4% from 3 the year he was asked to do this for SAS. Gasol was a perfect fit with the Lakers' triangle offense, working great with Kobe and Andrew Bynum to win championships.
If you need a crafty SG/SF, I've got
Manu Ginobili. Mr 6th Man/AKA Floppy Dawggh, he flourished in this role for San Antonio. We all know what he can do. The glue guy for the multiple Spurs championship teams. Exquisite passer. Career 37% from 3.
Paul Millsap stretched his game out since leaving Utah. Multiple All-Star appearances, he's now a crucial figure on the Nuggets. Dude hits 3s, great passer, hard worker, team player. Can play SF/PF naturally.
Baron Davis can jump out of the gym and brings all the requisite attributes of a modern NBA PG. Terrific coming off the bench.
Ben Gordon is my WILDCARD. When the offense is stagnant, or you need a fearless gunner, Gordon will be the spark. He was able to go toe-to-toe with Ray Allen in the 2009 ECF, hit 42 pts in a game in some COLD-BLOODED shooting. He's not the guy you build your team around, but he can explode (ala Jamal Crawford/Lou Williams/Michael Redd).
Other Notes: Wallace and Gasol can switch in the starting lineup depending on the length and speed of the opposing team's PF.
