What would your Country's Dream Team Look Like? (Past won't return...)

[Edgar Lopez]

Dude, I am not that old.... lol

ok, here is Mexico's

Oscar "diablo" Castellanos
Manuel "The phenomenom" Raga
Arturo "Mano Santa" Guerrero
Jose Luis "Satanas" Arroyo
Eduardo Najera (he needs a nickname)
These are definitely the top 5, not sure about their positions, if it is by position then Horacio may need to be the center and he is not that good, he does not deserve to be on this list...I think the top three are PG and SG and the last two both PF.

What about El guerrero azteka or azteka?

R - Karl Malone
R - Scottie Pippen
R - Kobe Bryant

As I said, I am not really qualified to make an all-time USA Dream Team since I really never saw any player play before the mis-1980s, so any team would be based on other's concensus and opinions... but it would still be fun to do... so here is my all-time team.

G - Magic Johnson
G - Michael Jordan
F - Larry Bird
F - Elvin Hayes
C - Bill Russell

R - Isiah Thomas
R - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
R - Charles Barkley

Honorable Mention (in order of how they would make the team): Wilt Chamberlain, Hakeem Olajuwon, Elgin Baylor, John Havlicek, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, Kevin Garnett.

[mktackabery]

Since I have never seen any player before 1984, this is what the US dream team would look like if I picked it with players from 1984 on. I take into consideration how well these players looked in international competition.

G - Magic Johnson
G - Michael Jordan
F - Larry Bird
F - Charle Barkley
C - Shaquille O'Neal

R - Isiah Thomas
R - Hakeem Olajuwon
R - Karl Malone
R - Scottie Pippen
R - Kobe Bryant
R - Reggie Miller
R - Kevin Garnett

Honorable Mention (in order of how they would make the team): Jason Kidd, Clyde Drexler, David Robinson, Chris Mullin, Tim Duncan, Grant Hill, John Stockton, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Patrick Ewing

Excellent list, Stuart, and you didn't forget Reg-gie! Reg-gie! or Scottie! Or John Stockton, the most efficient PG EVER to play the game and my personal favorite. I have nothing to add, this is it.

 

[Edgar Lopez]

What about brazil??? i thought their were some brazilians in here

 

[final countdown]

Α good "wish" thread we have here...
In my all time best Greek team, only players i have seen them play (after 1985) are included:

PG P. Yiannakis (a legend)
SG N. Galis (one of the top 3 offencive players ever in Europe)
SF F. Cristodoulou (a great all around player, ask USSR 1987-1989)
PF A. Fotsis (fantastic talent)
C L. Papadopoulos (great technique for a tall guy)

R F. Alvertis ("killer" outside the 3p line, 206 cm)
R T. Papaloukas (best G in Europe nowdays, 200cm)
R D. Diamantidis (best deff player in Europe, a real bball diamond)
R P. Fassoulas (for playing 1987, 1989)
R. S. Schortsianitis (unlimited potential, i wish him health and hard work)
R V. Spanoulis (good talent + very hard worker = he can do it in NBA)
* E. Retzias (he is not in my team, because he wasted one of greatest talents God gave to a tall guy ever. But i have to mention him)

 

[23_for_life]

yeah ofcourse rony seikaly's lebanese and yes he did play for the lebanese NT in the 1999 west asia bball tournament and averaged around 30 points !! .......

He married Mexican model Elsa Benitez (she has done Sports Illustrated, Budweiser and Victoria's secret among others), her home town is Hermosillo, Sonora, which is about 250 km from here, I saw Rony and her once on a supermarket...here are some pictures of them both.

Incredible guy for his time. I've seen some interwievs with latvian b-ball players of that championship in 1939. He was like from another world. I know that before the final game latvians protested that Lithuania has 2.02m tall player. Of course that protest was ridiculous but at that time there weren't so much tall players.
