    Chris Paul/Rajon Rondo/

    Kobe Bryant/James Harden/ Dwyane Wade

    Kevin Durant/Carmelo Anthony/Andre Iguodala

    LeBron James/Kevin Love

    Dwight Howard/ Andrew Bynum/Javale McGee

    Chris Paul / Deron Williams / Russell Westbrook

    Kobe Bryant / Dwyane Wade

    LeBron James / Andre Iguodala

    Carmelo Anthony / Chris Bosh / Blake Griffin

    Tyson Chandler / Kevin Love

    This is the best 12 man roster you could compile out of the finalists in my opinion. There's no point in saying "Howard" because he had back surgery and will be out for the Olympics - Bynum's also sitting out to continue strengthening and rehabbing his knees. Basically put, the team was strapped for a starting center because the two best in the business are out for health reasons. So the finalists are really your best choices to pick from.

    The only curious choice here might be Melo at PF, but that's what it comes down to. Most people would agree that Melo should be a starter, and either him or LeBron could shift to PF...but Melo's more used to playing that position here and there compared to LeBron.

    Does the player have to accept? Because Rondo rejected and I would definitely have him on my team.

    Based on players who's likely to play and not injured:

    Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, Tyson Chandler, Carmelo Anthony, Rudy Gay and Chris Bosh

    Starting:

    PG: Chris Paul

    SG: Kobe Bryant

    SF: Kevin Durant

    PF: LeBron James

    C: Kevin Love

    Dwayne Wade and his greedy overrated self can stay home and watch.
