Detroit Pistons Yaw’s Choice: Richard Hamilton/Ben Gordon/Charlie Villanueva First pick goes to Richard Hamilton. I love a guy that can hustle, shoot and his a headache to guard because he’s all over the court. Pick two goes to Ben Gordon. The guy is a great athlete that can fill it up on the court and this is another guy that screams NBA JAM. My third pick, which for me was tough because there were a few choices for the third spot, went to Charlie Villanueva. This guy can do a lot on the court but I wish he was more consistent. He has a solid skill set that only needs to come together in a more consistent basis. I thought about Ben Wallace due to his defensive prowess but the man has no offense so he was left out. Jeremy’s Choice: Richard Hamilton/Ben Gordon/Charlie Villanueva I’m getting tired of you Yaw. Always picking the same guys I was gonna pick. I gotta say though, you didn’t even consider Stuckey? Nevertheless, I still agree with you, but Gordon and Villanueva have been injury-prone and lackluster. They still fit the bill the best though. Philadelphia 76ers Yaw’s Choice: Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Allen Iverson Andre Iguodala heads the list for the Sixers. A good young player with incredible athleticism and I know I would have a lot of fun dunking with him on JAM. Next up is Elton Brand. Although he has disappointed in Philly he’s still a very good player and when he’s not hurt he can bring the pain. My final pick, which comes with some controversy, is Allen Iverson. When I think of the Sixers in my time I think of Allen Iverson. This man bleeds Philly and he deserves to be on this team. Although he is no longer the Iverson of old I will put him on my team any day. Normally Lou Williams would fill this spot but I have to pay homage to the original AI. Jeremy’s Choice: Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Allen Iverson Sigh… why do you keep doing this to me? I’m going first next week. Lou Williams definitely deserves a spot, but I’ve gotta go for AI as well. This may well be his swan song and I want to see him in JAM too. Chicago Bulls Yaw’s Choice: Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich The party begins with Derrick Rose. This guy is the definition of NBA JAM. He’s lightning fast, an amazing ball handler and his finishing ability is spectacular. Easily one of the most exciting players in the game today. Next up is Luol Deng. People have talked about him being the next big superstar and he has the intangibles to be that player. Incredibly athletic and fun to watch. Lastly is Kirk Hinrich. This guy can do everything on the court and can light it up from outside. Can’t go wrong with this lineup right here. Jeremy’s Choice: Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Joachim Noah Finally you slipped up! How could you NOT put Joachim Noah in this year? He’s a double-double machine this year! A top 3 rebounder! He’s also blocking all types of shots. The perfect 3rd option on my Jam squad. Get that Kirk Hinrich stuff out of here! And btw, who said Deng is the next big superstar? His momma? I didn’t get that memo I guess.

New York Knicks Yaw’s Choice: Al Harrington/David Lee/ Danilo Gallinari This selection was a tough one for me to make but my first pick would definitely be Al Harrington. He’s athletic, can score in different ways and he’s established himself as a key player for the Knicks.  Next up is David Lee. He’s gritty, can bang inside with the best of them and he plays with a lot of heart. The third guy I would take is Danilo Gallinari. I really like his game and he’s been impressive this year. I know this pick will raise a lot of eye brows as there’s still Wilson Chandler, Nate Robinson and Larry Hughes but this is the team I would roll with in JAM if I’m playing as the Knicks. Jeremy’s Choice:  Danilo Gallinari/Nate Robinson/Al Harrington Nate Robinson is flat out made for Jam. He’s fast, can hit 3′s, dunk and he’s a little guy to boot.  I know he’s more of a reserve, but I just don’t care in this case. When Nate defends his Slam Dunk crown on All-Star weekend, you will be wishing you picked him too. As for the other guys, Gallinari is simply a 3pt monster, plus he’s got size so that’s a winner for me. That leaves me with having to pick between the two current leading scorers on the team, both of which you picked. This is a very tough choice, but I’m going w/ Al. I can’t really justify him over David Lee, except for his outside shooting, but I’m a big fan of the 3pt shot in Jam so there it is… New Orleans Hornets Yaw’s Choice: Chris Paul/Peja Stojakovic/David West Chris Paul is a no brainer. Not having the best point guard in the NBA on your team just doesn’t make any sense. Next up is Peja Stojakovic. Having a three point bomber to compliment Chris Paul just makes the Hornets so much more dangerous in JAM. My third pick has got to be David West. Emeka Okafor is solid but you want a scorer on your team and David West brings more of that than Emeka does so it’s pretty clear cut for me. Jeremy’s Choice: Chris Paul/Peja Stojakovic/David West Ho Hum… Here we go agreeing with each other again. Even though Peja is clearly descending down the other side of the hill, I don’t really care if he can’t do much else other than bomb away from the outside. Bombing three’s equals good times in my book. I could also be a contrarian and go with Okafor, since he would be the best shot blocker of the bunch, but West plays too central a role in the offense to put him out in the cold. New Jersey Nets Yaw’s Choice: Devin Harris/Brook Lopez/Yi Jianlian Devin Harris is first up if I play as the Nets. He’s got good handles, he’s quick and can attack the basket at will. Next up for me is Brook Lopez. This guy has all the tools and potential to be one of the best centers in the NBA. He still has work to do but from what I’ve seen from him up to this point in his career he’s a definite pick for me if I were to play with the Nets in JAM. My last pick is Yi Jianlian. He’s not exactly the next Yao Ming but he’s slowly coming into his own. He’s a solid shooter who can rebound and of course when you’re doing that when you’re 7 ft. tall says a lot. He’s still young and he’s got a lot of room for improvement. I know others would take Courtney Lee over Yi but Courtney needs to score more before he’s on my roster in JAM. Jeremy’s Choice:  Devin Harris/Brook Lopez/Yi Jianlian Oh the record-breaking Nets… They were 0-18 to start the season and made many a happy Clipper and former Heat player (previous owners of the 0-17 record). Brook Lopez and Devin Harris are easy picks. That 3rd player is a bit tougher  though. Chris Douglas-Roberts? Courtney Lee? Yi Jianlian? I’m torn between Douglas-Roberts and Yi really. Yi has really stepped up his game after coming back from injury so I’ll give him the nod too. Sure I could pick Douglas-Roberts, but I’m feeling agreeable today Yaw.
