What postion would you build an nba franchise around?

would it be point guard and have a player like baron davis?would it be 2guard and have a player like dwade?would it be small forward and have a player like lebron james? would it be a power forward and have a player like tim duncan or a center like yao ming?

I would design my team around a small forward like lebron james who can handle the ball, pass the ball, shoot the ball and go to the rim strong. I think he has good chemistry with his teammates as well.

I will build a franchise around a dominant center. My prototypes would be Bill Russel and Hakeem Olajuwon. IMHO, I think most NBA championship teams had a dominant center, with the exception of the MJ-led Bulls of course.

center
a point guard
well how bout if you want to win a championship next year. who out of current players in the NBA are you taking first in a fantasy draft? not looking long term i think you gotta take tim duncan. he's proven he can do it time and time again, and he anchors your defense. there may be better players(kobe, lebron, dwade) but duncan is money when it really counts. no substitute for a great big man.
Well, there have been dominant (or at least great) teams built around each position. I think the main point is getting two positions filled with great players. Michael had Scottie (and anyone that says a dominant team has to have a good center is proven wrong by the double three-peat of the Bulls) Shaq had Kobe (not the other way around), Magic had Kareem, Bird had Parish or McHale. In todays power teams, Timmy has Parker, Nash has Amare, Wade has Shaq (maybe not dominant this year, but last year)
You can build a franchise around any position player, as long as they have 1) star quality 2) charisma and 3) leadership abilities. Chris Bosh (toronto) is a PF, Kobe (LA) is SG, Kidd (NewJersey) is a PG, KG (Minnesota) can go C or PF. Youll find alot more are shooting guards though because getting on the scoresheet is the easiest way to get noticed. (that or you can average a triple-double like JKidd). Shooting guards are by far the most numerous franchise players (dwade tmac lebron kobe etc...) but you can build a franchise around any position.
Well, if I got to pick any one player I would pick LBJ. But if I got to choose a position from which every player was equal, I would choose PF. Center position has all but died. Now it is a PG, SG, 2 SF's and a PF or a PG, SG, SF, and 2 PF's. I would want someone like Tim Duncan or KG.
Center or power forward just because if you have a dominant big man then they demand the attention of the whole defense all the time and therefore opening up opportunities for the other players. Also, having a dominant big man means that your offensive rebounds will sky rocket and therefore giving your team second and third chance opportunities. Also helps defensively by forcing the opposing team to have to take deep jump shots instead of getting easy layups by driving to the hoop.
Depends who the best player is. In NBA history the majority of the best were Centers but the best of the best was probably MJ who is not a Center so it comes down to who is best. Might I remind you Bulls hold the record for the most dominant record ever with no dominant Center.
Look behind any great NBA team and I think u have to agree that a true center is the best position to run a franchise around... He cleans up the boards, relieves pressure off the gaurds if their shot is not on...and he can be a presentz on defense. If it wasn't for Greg Oden's great play in the NCAA championship Ohio State would have been blown out by a long shot! Lets just say thingz can be going haywire with guards and wingmen, but u can alwayz feed it to your sure big man to get the offense set.
Center you find one build around him and have a team

eg Lakers+Shaq, got him from Magic and got some talent and i guess that Bryant guy was a good reliever scorer
looking at the demise of the gsw, despite being prolific scorers i will say centre
Defiantly a Center. With the west being so big and having basically 2 centers on the floor at the same time you need to go big.
Centers or Power Forwards because great big men are tough to come by. And any "Deron Williams" types pops out all over the place.
would u rather build around Wilt the Stilt, Michael Jordan, Majic Johnson, that to me is the question, those three players i believe to be the best players to make a team better, u got to say the only man to score 100 pts in one game, who led the league in assists and pts one yr, which is tremendous, he is the one u want, but its what is available at the time, but a truly dominant center is where it all begins
it would be between a point guard like Jason Kidd, or a center like Ben Wallace or Eddy Curry
POSTION ??
My personal opinion is a Center. I say this because having a powerhouse center will collapse the defense into the key, and offer your guards and forewards a chance to take outside shots. Part of the success of Dwade is having Shaq in the key to pass back and forth to. With those two playing together, they open up shots for the rest of the team. There is no effective way to guard a center other than by double or triple teaming him. If you build a strong cast of shooters, and a driver or two around a very strong, very large center, you will find that everyone will be more successful than a team that actually bases around one player doing all the work.
that's an interesting question.

i dont think you can single out a player and just surround him with "role" players and call it a winning franchise. (ex KG, Pierce, Joe Johnson, Kobe, all the other big names carrying the team alone). you can't just have 1 star.

but i think, regardless of position, my franchise player has to be a leader. not just a dunker, athletic freak, or shooter. he has to be able to bring out the best in his team mates and exemplify what he preaches. if he says hustle, then he dives for loose balls, takes charges, and plays help defense. if he says score, he sets his teammates up and gets them going with his own shots. skills will always be there somewhere. heck, that's why they play pro ball. but leadership is rare.

good examples of these guys in the playoffs are Nash and Duncan. they dont play the game alone too. with my opinions on this series aside, they have a set of quality teammates, without whom Nash and Duncan wouldnt be superstars and MVP's in the first place.
You don't build a franchise around a particular position. Teams have tried to build around various star players but I don't think it works. It's better to have an entire team that gets along and shares the ball. Look at the Pistons: no superstars, just real solid players, fundamentally sound, playing as one unit. Teams don't know who to double when they play Detroit because they can all score. Joe Dumars has done a great job of building that franchise by finding the right pieces to the puzzle. Not many other teams have been as successful the last five years as Detroit.

Go Pistons!
