    Alright a few years back, NBA.com did this contest to see which names-sake team would be the best…the Robinson’s, the Davis’, the Williams’, etc. Since the depth of these last names is not as deep, I figured why not go more general and make teams sorted by the first letter of player’s last names? Using the G, G, F, F, C format, here are some of the better teams I could come up with.

    I’m curious what group you think makes the best team, from top to bottom, as opposed to a 5 on 5. Can you make better teams under the G, G, F, F, C format?

    A:
    Gilbert Arenas
    Ray Allen
    Carmelo Anthony
    Ron Artest
    LaMarcus Aldridge (alright, so I stretched this one a bit)

    B:
    Chauncey Billiups
    Kobe Bryant
    Caron Butler
    Chris Bosh
    Andrew Bynum

    C:
    Jose Calderon
    Vince Carter
    Wilson Chandler
    Marcus Camby (stretched a bit)
    Tyson Chandler

    D: (unless I cheat with both Duncan and Durant positions, there’s not a quality team)

    E: (not enough players)

    F: (not high quality)

    G:
    Manu Ginobli
    Ben Gordan
    Rudy Gay
    Kevin Garnet
    Marc Gasol

    H:
    Devin Harris
    Richard Hamilton
    Josh Howard
    Al Horford (stretched a bit)
    Dwight Howard

    I: (not enough players)

    J:
    Jarret Jack
    Joe Johnson
    Richard Jefferson
    LeBron James
    Al Jefferson

    K: (not high quality)

    L: (not high quality)

    M: (not high quality)

    N:
    Steve Nash
    Jameer Nelson
    Andre Noccioni
    Dirk Nowitzki
    Nene

    O: (missing guards)

    P:
    Chris Paul
    Tony Parker
    Paul Pierce
    Tayshaun Prince
    Kendrick Perkins

    Q: (Sorry Chris Quinn haha)

    R: (A Center away from a quality team)

    S: (weakest to make the cut)
    Ramon Sessions
    Rodney Stuckey
    Peja Stojakovic
    Josh Smith
    Amar’e Stoudemire

    T: (not high quality)

    U: (not enough players)

    V: (not enough players)

    W:
    Deron Williams
    Dwayne Wade
    Gerald Wallace
    David West
    Rasheed Wallace

    I’ll go with the B team, they look solid

    Though I’d slide Bosh to Center and put Boozer or Brand (if healthy) in at Power Forward

    Never thought about that, good decision to get Brand in the lineup, he’s a beast when he’s healthy.
