Ladies and Gentlemen. Your starting lineup …

Inspired by (okay, directly ripped off from) a post on one of my favorite sites, I present my all-star dream team.

The Point Guard is the leader of the team. They have the best skills on the ball and make everyone around them better. My “1” is Paul Newman (anytime between 1958 –1978).






The Shooting Guard is the go-to scoring option and usually the team’s best shooter. They need to be able to get out of traffic at will and score in the face of adversity. My “2” is Djimon Hounsou.





The Small Forward is the most versatile spot, as they can fill in for other positions. They have a myriad of skills and are often the most aggressive players. My “3” is Clive Owen.




The Power Forward is the hustle-man of the game, always working in the thick of things. They post up or play under the basket and always look for an opportunity. My “4” is Chiwetel Ejiofor.



The Center is the big man in the heart of it all. They use their size and physique to their best advantage, by muscling the play and coming down with the ball. My “5” is Vin Diesel.

Also, it’s important to have a couple of valuable role players to backup your stars. I always like a weapon; someone who brings guaranteed points off the bench. My sharp shooter is Maxwell.






And don’t underestimate the need for a defensive specialist; someone who keeps the game locked down by not allowing anything to just slip by. My prime defender is Simeon Rice.



So, there it is; The best team I could put together on short notice. I like them all for different reasons, but all of them could get it like the world was gonna end. (except for Paul Newman currently. Eww! LOL) I have to say that putting this list together took way more time than I expected it to. I think I understand how GMs feel, except I didn't have to worry about paying anyone. As I look at this list, I'm struck with just how different each man is. I like that though, variety is definitely the spice of life.
