Who would win?
For Adidas, you've got the It Takes Five five -- Chauncey Billups, Gilbert Arenas, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.
For Nike, you have to choose five from the guys walking around the airport tarmac. We'll go with Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Jermaine O'Neal and Amare Stoudemire.
I gotta go with Adidas. That front court is too much.

This is too hard a decision. I keep wavering back and forth.
What are some possible mismatches? I was thinking maybe Arenas guarding Kobe, whereas Kobe is a really good defender. I honestly dont know much about the defensive reps of O'Neal and Stoudemire, though O'Neal is averaging 3 blocks a game.
This is so hard i should jsut delete what i got so far and not post this, heh. oh well.
I do agree though, that the adidas front court seems like way too much to over come. And Arenas has been phenomenal at making the big bucket in end game situations.
Then again, if you have Black Mamba (haha) and LeBronkey Kong on the same team, it just don't seem right to say they ain't good enough. Especially with possibly the NBA's best passer (Nash) feeding them.
I Guess in the end, I would go with Addidas. For one, front court. But also, i think the game would have to be down temple a bit, since these guys aren't too used to playing with eachother. Point Guards have the ball 80% of the time--Nash has run offenses the last 6 or so years that are run and gun. Whereas Billups, almost always is setting up a halfcourt offense. I envision the east coast with less turnovers, more rebounds, and for me that's enough to give them the game. (Did you really think i wouldn't go with Chaucey's team, i'm too biased for that.)
*i tried to stay brief, but even with ignoring McGrady completely (sorry all you Houstonites), i keep going..and going...
adidas wins- they don't have jermaine o'neal.
