What will be the ideal basketball team according to you?

Instead of doing a list that could include all-time greats, as that would require much thought and debate as to who would play better in a certain era, I will simply make a 5-man team of players that are playing right now. Point guard - Chris Paul While there are many great point guards in the league today, I think Chris Paul is the most balanced and all-around point guard in the league. He can pass the ball very well, can get steals on defense, has good range on his shot, and knows when he needs to score more to help his team win. Shooting guard - Dwyane Wade This was a tough decision between him and Kobe, but at this point in their careers, I will go with Dwyane Wade. It's because Dwyane hasn't been in the league as long and is a bit younger than Kobe, so he can still play closer to his peak than Kobe can at this point. Obviously, Kobe in his prime is one of the all-time greats, but I'll take Wade for now. Small forward - LeBron James Lately, he's been playing more of the power forward position, but since this is where he usually plays, I put him here. Of course, he would be on this team I've created regardless of what position he was playing (he's the best player in the league), anywhere from point guard to center, really. Power forward - Kevin Durant Again, he may be a bit out of position here (he plays both the 3 and the 4), but I put him here because he is probably the most complete offensive player in the NBA today, and he is still so young and can have a lot of improvement. Being able to do the things he can at 6 foot 10 is unfair. Center - Dwight Howard While it's a pretty close race these days between Howard and Andrew Bynum, I will still take Howard because of his supreme defensive skills. His shot blocking is off the charts and he possesses so much athleticism for a big man.

well if I have to chose my all time favorite I'll make two lists. my all NBA 5 and my all European Favorite :) NBA PG:John Stockton (US) SG:Michael Jordan (US) SF:Larry Bird (US) PF:Charles Barkley (US) C:Shaquille O'neil (US) In Europe: PG:Dimitris Diamantidis (GRE) SG:Drazen Petrovic (CRO) SF:Fragiskos Alvertis (GRE) PF:Dino Radja (CRO) C:Arvydas Sabonis (LTU)

If I have a chance to create a basketball team, I want it to have 2 dominating big men C and PF, unselfish,play maker and a leader PG, 3 point specialist or accurate shooter SG, and slasher, playmaker and unselfish SF.
