Yao, Steve, and Cat are the mainstays of this team. Realistically, we have to add to them. I would love to see:

Ming, Duncan, AK, Steve, Cat.

If Ming and Duncan ever hook up for a season, look out.

Well obvously there are better players in the league than these guys, but this is a lineup I'd like to see that's just kinda semi-possible...

PG: Marko Jaric
SG: Steve Francis
SF: Caron Butler
PF: Nene
C: Yao Ming

Basically a defense-focused group, with Yao and Steve as the primary offensive weapons, Jaric helping out with his three-point shot, and Butler and Nene being their athletic, dunking selves.

That's a cool lineup...

If not Randolph, I'd throw Paul Gasol in there too.

"hot rod" plays the 4 and Jerome plays the 3

PG: Jesus -- great leader, unselfish. will distribute the ball. not looking for a big contract, a bargain if we can sign him. team spokesman. cons: some say that he's too timid and will have a tough time adjusting to the physical style of the NBA.

SG: Superman -- unproven jumpshot, but extraordinary
athleticism and leaping ability. lightning quick on his help-defense.

SF: Teen Wolf -- rusty, hasn't played since the mid-eighties. will need some work in the weight room. in his prime, though, could play all 5 positions and surf on a moving car. can moonlight as team mascot. (this saves money, Les!) will likely emerge as the fan favorite.

PF: Chewbacca -- tough, physical inside presence. tremendous shot-blocking skills, astonishing rebounder with surprising lateral speed. not a scorer. possible friction with Teen Wolf.

C: God --- it all starts with the big Guy. we'll work the inside-out offense; I like to call it the "Big Bang." makes His teammates better. ability to stop time, score at will, morph the Rocket's basket into an eight-foot bucket. knows the opposing team's play before the coach draws it up. cons: moody. has a track record of deserting his teammates in times of need.

6th man: Moochie Norris. just to make the games competitive.

Coach: Alexander the Great. Still unfamiliar with the Xs and Os, but you can't question the man's tactical brilliance or his will to win. Could have trouble massaging the team's egos, might rely on his point-guard for extra locker-room leadership.

You know in his entire life Alexander never suffered 1 defeat. He would be a great coach.

second team: i'd pay to see these rocks in practice

PG: Mike Tyson, unmedicated: untalented, mercurial, a potential ballhawk; but physically dominant, won't turn the other cheek and would simply dominate the point of attack; bonus: All-NBA Quote Team

SG: a schoolbus careening toward the edge of a cliff: surefire shutdown of opposing guard

SF: Air Bud, golden small forward: inability to shoot, pass, dribble; but mad hops, always clutch at the buzzer, possible flea infestation of TWolf

PF: a grizzly bear wearing a headband: Big Ben rival, a beast; controls the paint, always hungry

C: American Atheist founder Madalyn Murry O'Hair: layup after underhanded layup, playing virtually unguarded

Assistant Coach: Aristotle: the thinking man's coach, would routinely school Alexander in the basics of elementary logic and ball-sharing ethics; would meld a harmonious Golden Mean in team chemistry

12th man: a bout of persistent chlamydia, or, actually, Moochie Norris
