What two players you needed to build a solid NBA team as far as their respective positions is concerned?

Choose from center, power forward, small forward, shooting guard and point guard.

Height is might and a dominant center will certainly give tremendous help to the team. A testament of these are Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar to name a few. A versatile center can easily score inside the paint using sheer might and heft, blocks enemy shots, provides hustle and intimidation underneath the board and will take good care of the rebounds for his team.

My second pick is the point guard who happens to be the court general of the team. A sound point guard will compensates a dominant center as the team’s plays become fluid and cohesive, and the players will have confidence taking over their shots with confidence that their main man inside the painted area will collar the rebounds for them which is a big plus for the team. Great point guards meeting this category are Steve Nash, John Stockton, Tony Parker, Magic Johnson and Jason Kidd. Feel free to give your feedback about this question.

My top two choices would be a center and a point guard. A team needs a dominant center to clog up the middle on defense, pound the offensive and defensive boards and be an offensive force on the low post. The center from today's era that I would choose for that is Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic. Howard is just 24 years old and probably already the best center in the league. He averaged 18 points, 13 rebounds and nearly 3 blocked shots per game. Legendary centers include Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Hakeem Olajuwon.

The point guard is a vital component to the team. He is the floor leader. A good point guard well get his teammates the ball in the most optimal position on the court to score. In today's game, many point guards also have very good offensive games and good defense, usually among the tops in the league in steals. The best point guard in today's game is Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns. Although Nash is 36, he still averaged 17 points, 11 assists and 3 rebounds per game. Legendary point guards include Bob Cousy, Magic Johnson and John Stockton.

If I had to pick two players to build a team around, and it could be anyone, I guess I would have to pick a power forward who could both rebound, be a presence in the middle on defense, and shoot from the outside. The particular power forward I’m thinking of is Dirk Nowitzki. There are very few players who have the talent pool of Dirk, especially since the guy consistently shoots over 40 percent from the field from behind the arc. He can also rebound, as he has usually hauls down around 10 boards a game over the course of a season.

My second piece would have to be point guard, a Steve Nash or John Stockton type who can score at will, but can dish the ball with the best of them. I know most people would pick a center as the other position, but there are plenty of centers who can play defense and block shots who aren’t someone anyone would build a team around. A front line power forward is a huge asset to a team paired with a good point guard.
