Playmakers NBA 2K11 All-Time Team Rosters

[Playmakers]

This will be my 1st year creating these squads for NBA 2K basketball but that doesn't mean i'm a rookie when it comes to creating rosters.

I've kinda gotten away from basketball rosters the past 3 years but this game is going to be like my comeback.....

Trust me the final product will be something special with this game.

These teams won't be restricted to any particular year or era. They will consist of 12 players for each squad that make up an All-Time team.

For example Dallas
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/4...g-fives#page/2

C-James Donaldson
PF-Dirk Nowitzki
SF-Mark Aguirre
SG-Ro Blackman
PG-D.Harper

Bench
C-Eric Dampier
C-Roy Tarpley
PF-Sam Perkins
SF-Josh Howard
SF-Jay Vincent
SG-Michael Finley
PG-Brad Davis...........Gets the nod over Steve Nash because he is one of only two retired Mavs Jersey's not sure why every year i see these types of rosters on the boards and no one includes Davis.

I love doing this so I came up with a statistical method for determining all time teams.

Funny to me that you mention about Brad Davis when your list includes none of the "three J's". Brad Davis is on my team too, on the IR, so don't get me wrong but he probably gets no mention because he averaged 8 pts and 5 assists over his career, despite his tenure with the team. I think people would have more fun playing with Nash or Kidd in this spot. As for Dampier, well, Shawn Bradley probably deserves it more.

I'm going to have to disagree with Bradley over Damp....

Damp actually started on Mavs teams that enjoyed playoff success where as Bradley just occupied the floor. This squad has enough scorer's what they need is a physical big man behind Donaldson who can rebound and defend in the post.

Besides you'd be hard pressed to find very many true Mavs fans that would take Bradley over Dampier.....not that Dampier was great but he accomplished more than Bradley in his tenure with Dallas.

As for Davis like i said he's one of only two Mavs jersey's ever retired that in itself gets him on the team.

Nash is a Suns player as far I'm concerned that is where he won his MVP award and Kidd is going to be on New Jersey the franchise in which he led to back to back NBA Finals.

There will be no duplicate players on these rosters so both guys will run point where they accomplished the most success away from Dallas.

As For Jackson he's not replacing Blackmon or Finley.....loved his game but he's not a more popular Mavs player than those two guys. Mashburn same thing he's in a situation like Jackson competing with Howard, Aguirre and Vincent at SF. Aguirre is a lock as Mavs player and Howard and Vincent were just as effective as Mashburn although most people might not be too familiar with Jay Vincent at the time he and Aguirre formed a deadly punch at SF in Dallas.

Ah, see that's where you and I differ, I'm OK with putting the same player on multiple teams. My ratings are based only on stats they acquired while on that franchise so they may play different on each team (though most likely only slightly different).

Not sure what you're going to do about Wilt, Shaq, Kareem, Dr. J, etc.

Those are all tough choices but since they can't play on different teams Wilt and Dr J will be in Philly

Shaq and Kareem in LA....Kareem will probably slide over to PF

Speaking of Philly and Wilt here's what their roster is most likley going to like once I'm done

Great news! As always I have suggestions if you would like them. Very excited about this.

Also, I coached a high school team that played against Shawn Bradley.

Thanks,

Not fair to deny the All Bucks team their greatest player of all time.

This is why I don't agree with the no dupes policy.
