New NBA Jam Ideal Roster


I have the new NBA Jam for XBOX 360, and it's fantastic. They made some additions from the old one but made sure to keep all the great stuff about the classic. The rosters have a decent mix of current stars and retired studs. Some teams have as many as 6 players while others have 3 and a mascot (weak). If it was up to me, here is what my rosters would look like. Keeping it to just 4 players per team...


Boston Celtics: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Paul Pierce, Robert Parish*

New Jersey Nets: Derrick Coleman*, Drazen Petrovic, Kenny Anderson, Kerry Kittles*

New York Knicks: Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley*, John Starks, Anthony Mason*

Philadelphia 76ers: Allen Iverson, Julius Erving, Moses Malone*, Andre Igudola

Toronto Raptors: Vince Carter, Marcus Camby*, Damon Stoudamire*, Chris Bosh

Chicago Bulls: Michael Jordan*, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant*, Dennis Rodman

Cleveland Cavaliers: LeBron James, Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Larry Nance*

Detroit Pistons: Isiah Thomas, Bill Lambeer, Joe Dumars*, Vinnie Johnson*

Indiana Pacers: Reggie Miller*, Rik Smits*, Dale Davis*, Danny Granger

Milwaukee Bucks: Glenn Robinson*, Ray Allen, Andrew Bogut, Brandon Jennings

Atlanta Hawks: Dominique Wilkins, Spud Webb, Kevin Willis*, Joe Johnson

Charlotte Bobcats: Old Jordan*, Larry Brown*, Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson

Miami Heat: Dwyane Wade, Glen Rice, Rony Seikaly, Alonzo Mourning*

Orlando Magic: Shaquille O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Dennis Scott, Dwight Howard

Washington Wizards: Rod Strickland, Gheorghe Muresan, John Wall, Gilbert Arenas

Golden State Warriors: Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond, Monta Ellis

Los Angeles Clippers: Danny Manning, Ron Harper*, Eric Gordon*, Blake Griffin

Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, James Worthy*, Shaquille O'Neal

Phoenix Suns: Steve Nash, Charles Barkley*, Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle

Sacramento Kings: Chris Webber*, Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac*, Peja Stojakavic

Dallas Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Jamal Mashburn*, Jason Terry*

Houston Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady*, Steve Francis*

Memphis Grizzlies: Pau Gasol, Rudy Gay, Shareef Abdur-Rahim*, Bryant Reeves

New Orleans Hornets: Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues*, Chris Paul, Dell Curry*

San Antonio Spurs: Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili

Denver Nuggets: Carmelo Anthony, Dikembe Mutombo*, Antonio McDyess*, Dale Ellis*

Minnesota Timberwolves: Kevin Garnett, Stephon Marbury*, Kevin Love, Wally Szczerbiak*

Oklahoma City Thunder/ Seattle Super Sonics*: Gary Payton*, Shawn Kemp*, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook

Portland Trail Blazers: Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter*, Brandon Roy, Rasheed Wallace*

Utah Jazz: John Stockton, Karl Malone, Deron Williams, Jeff Hornacek*

*not in game

Some of my ideal players are in the game but are on a different team.
I also think throwback jerseys (including Bullets and Sonics) should be in the game.
