Ok I think I got you on this one bro.

New York Knicks
New Orleans Hornets
Miami Heat

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Dwayne Wade
SF: Carmelo Anthony
PF: Lebron James
C: Amare Stoudemire

6th Man: David West

Chris Paul is a way way better point guard than Nelson and he also can score within the flow of an offense and can distribute better than Nelson can.

At Small Forward Carmelo Anthony is basically everything Josh Smith wishes he could be, a good shooter, an actual star, clutch...

At Power forward your done because Horford is undersized to begin with so I don't think Lebron would have much trouble at all guarding him. Speaking of Lebron... HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT HAVE LEBRON ON YOUR TEAM? I mean come on Hasleem? 6th man? you could have picked a ton of guys to be your sixth man.

At Center you may have me beat but Amare scores more than Howard and with scorers like Lebron, Anthony, Wade, and Paul on my team Howard's effect defensively will be limited. Anthony and Paul can spread out the court with their shooting, and Lebron and Wade can penetrate and kick.

Once again at 6th man I have you beat. West is way better than Haslem and does everything Haslem does better.

1. I only meant you were done because you would have had Horford guarding Lebron. I dont think I really went too far out on a limb there.

2. I knew you were gonna go with this too many superstars farse of an argument. You do realize that there once was a time in the NBA when teams regularly had 3 or more stars? The 80's Celtics had 3 Hall of Famers on their title teams, so try again.

3. Intangibles... That's a laugh so is that why you picked Haslem over Lebron? Intangibles, or is it because you just had to have the the vast amount of intangibles that Josh Smith possesses on your team. I mean sure if you love long athletic forwards who take bad long two point jump shots and lose in the 1st round ever year then Smith has to be the pick there.

4. Sure Lebron no-showed this year but that's no reason to take Smith over him. By the way Lebron does hold an NBA record for consecutive points in a playoff game when he single-handedly beat the Pistons in 07. Anyway, my team is so far better than yours I wouldn't need him in the 4th anyway.

If we compared these teams on paper which is the only place we can compare them I do have you beat. By a large margin.

Chemistry blah, Intangibles blah, your hiding behind things that can't be quantified in an attempt to cover up for your inferior squad.

Seriously Haslem was the reason the Heat turned around their season...
When did their season need turning around to begin with? He came back in the playoffs, and they were the second seed in the East you sound ridic.

You keep saying my team has too many scorers. Let me put it this way, my team will have a lot easier of a time getting the points they need when they need them than your team will. I mean look at your team, you have Wade and Smith. The two players who will dominate the ball most offensively both can't shoot. Your teams offense is inefficient and has scorers just like mine, they are just less efficient scorers.

The only 1 ball argument is a joke I mean come on, lets not act like your team isn't full of ball dominant players, thats probably why you totally ignored my argument about Wade, Smith, and Howard all being black holes as well.

At the end of the day basketball is basketball, many of my players played on Olympic teams filled with stars and found a way to be successful. Too much talent is never the issue.
