What do you think about forum users being like a basketball team?

Floating through this sea of awesome topics about duos, trios, and even those weird leaderless groups (do we have any of those?), I just had another brilliant idea:

What if we looked at our forum members like a basketball starting five?

The rules are easy: just list 5 members, assigned to their specific positions order by order:

1. Point Guard
2. Shooting Guard
3. Small Forward
4. Power Forward
5. Center

Following the usual drill, the next person shares their take on that lineup and then names the next group of 5 members as a new squad.

I think this thread is gonna be legendary. 🙂

I'll kick things off:

Boo
Jacob Lopez51
Tika
Josh Swarle
Svrle

I don't really know much about basketball rules—honestly, I don't even watch it.☕

Gray
Carl Mitchell31
My little one
Bombi
Swarle if he's a Mexican.🍿

You gotta leave a comment first.

Total Dream Team right there. They'd absolutely steamroll everyone—I'm basically an undiscovered Vince Carter in this scenario.

No big deal. I picked based on national identity. Everyone knows who the best hoopers are. My Play pick is Gray because he’s an absolute beast—he could shut down any other Play without even trying. Plus, we're buddies and he bought me a beer, so I know he'd actually pass me the rock. Gray father is chill and I think he’d have a reliable, clutch three-pointer. As for the Svrle bomb, I don't really know any other Mexican posters besides John Baker68, but he seems more like a coach to me. Svrle is a monster and you always need someone like him on the squad, even if he is a Mexican, when you're chasing gold.🍿

Paw, Honey, me, Yoda, Space, and the wiki coach playing Small ball😬

We’re running a Small ball offense. Paw and Honey are young, energetic, and ready to run. I used to have a decent jump shot, though Yoda is... well, he's definitely not playing with a full deck. I expect him to be tall when he's visiting Chicago. Space is fast, strong, and possesses enough raw power for the whole starting five—the guy spends his weekends lifting heavy timber at a sawmill. He’ll clear out everything under the hoop. As for the wiki coach, he’ll probably study the opponents' horoscopes just so we can exploit their astrological weaknesses. Looking at this lineup, I already see two women who might be our weak points. Tiki is going to get crushed, and Bo is going to lose her mind once Paw starts flirting with her.😬

1. Boo

5. Total nonsense right in the middle.

As far as I'm concerned, they would have cruised to an NBA championship without breaking a sweat.

You guys are all busy grading someone else's roster, but just wait until someone starts critiquing yours. 🤦

this would be mine 😁

actually, I'm already like this in CS:GO, so they try to kick me all the time🕺

Come on, just give us the rest of the forum so we can actually have some fun with it...

I seem to have misplaced Tyler Durden’s American reinforcement if Yoda isn't hanging around this forum anymore.

shadowjackal82 said:Well, I suppose you have to start by making a comment first.

shadowjackal82 said:So, you all just sit here dissecting lineups that someone else puts together, while I suppose someone else will eventually be sitting there doing the exact same thing to yours. 🤦

🤣

You don't know how to play either! 🙂

But you've got heart, so I'll let it slide. 😂

Alright, alright, Mance... you can be our resident physical therapist.

Look, buddy, you don't stand a chance against my squad. I’ve got four absolute beasts on my roster.

Dream on!
My guys are averaging about 6'5", 220 lbs... and let's just say they're packing plenty of extra gear too...

What on earth is this 🤦🤣
