NBA Jam Remake

I love NBA Jam. Just today I decided to hook up my PS3 controller onto my PS3 so I can play NBA Jam with a controller and it's awesome.

Anyway, EA announced a remake so if they remade NBA Jam, teams would look like this.

Atlanta - Joe Johnson and Josh Smith

Would be a fun combo. Good shooter who isn't a midget and a great dunker guy.

Reserves - Al Horford, Jamal Crawford

Boston - Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce

Both guys are well rounded. They'll probably scale Pierce down a bit on the athleticism to keep down the amount of Jordan-esque players.

Reserves - Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen

Charlotte - Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton

I wanna say Stephen Jackson for that second spot but you may as well go with the guy that's already there. Gerald Wallace will be a fun NBA Jam guy.

Reserves - Stephen Jackson, Tyson Chandler

Chicago - Derrick Rose and Luol Deng

I would swap out Deng for Noah when I play. Derrick Rose was made for NBA Jam.

Reserves - Joakim Noah, Kirk Hinrich

Cleveland - LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal

Probably the second best duo after Kobe and Gasol. Crazy. LeBron might be maxed out on everything.

Reserves - Mo Williams, Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Dallas - Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd

Jason Kidd was on NBA Jam TE as a rookie and this year he gets to start. They're gonna pad Jason Kidd's shooting and with Dirk this is a fun team since they'll shoot the lights out. The next 2 guys are a tough call between Marion, Howard and Terry but I'll give it to Marion and Terry.

Reserves - Shawn Marion, Jason Terry

Denver - Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups

Melo will have close to max everything except defense and Billups could have close to max everything except for dunks. Great team to roll with. The Nuggets were made for NBA Jam.

Reserves - Nene, J.R. Smith

Detroit - Rodney Stuckey and Richard Hamilton

Or something like that? Tayshaun Prince? A Ben Gordon/Richard Hamilton team would be fun as hell to play with though.

Reserves - Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince

Golden State - Monta Ellis and Anthony Randolph

If it were me I'd go Curry/Randolph. It'd probably be my go to team.

Reserves - Andris Biedrins, Stephen Curry

Houston - Aaron Brooks and Yao Ming

Since T-Mac doesn't seem to be staying here for long. Brooks will be a fun player to use and I don't know what they'll do with Yao Ming.

Reserves - Trevor Ariza, Carl Landry

Indiana - Danny Granger and Troy Murphy

What a sorry ass team. Granger will be good.

Reserves - TJ Ford, Roy Hibbert

Los Angeles (Clippers) - Baron Davis and Blake Griffin

Baron is great for NBA Jam. So is Blake Griffin. Good underrated team.

Reserves - Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman

Los Angeles (Lakers) - Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol

Crazy good team. Bron/Shaq duo comes close. It's just unfair how good the Lakers are.

Reserves - Lamar Odom, Ron Artest

Memphis - Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph

Toss up. Maybe Mayo should be up there. I think most guys will want to go Mayo/Gay. Memphis have a good team.

Reserves - OJ Mayo, Marc Gasol

Miami - Dwyane Wade and Jermaine O'Neal

Maybe Beasley. Not sure. Wade is made for this game.

Reserves - Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem

Milwaukee - Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut

Jennings will be fun to use. Jennings/Redd for some serious 3 point damage.

Reserves - Michael Redd, Ersan Ilyasova

Minnesota - Al Jefferson and Jonny Flynn

Nothing too special.

Reserves - Kevin Love, Corey Brewer

New Jersey - Devin Harris and Brook Lopez

Should be a pretty good team in the game.

Reserves - Yi Jianlian, Chris Douglas-Roberts

New Orleans - Chris Paul and David West

Another solid team. Chris Paul won't be as effective and will just be like every other point guard.

Reserves - Peja Stojakovic, Emeka Okafor

New York - David Lee and Danilo Gallinari

The Knicks will actually be a really really fun team to roll with. David Lee should be one of the fastest bigs in the game and Gallinari will shoot the lights out.

Reserves - Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington

Oklahoma City - Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook

Kevin Durant will be LeBron level in terms of effectiveness. Probably will lose some points for defense but NBA Jam wasn't really about defense.

Reserves - Jeff Green, James Harden

Orlando Magic - Dwight Howard and Vince Carter

Godly combination. Dwight Howard should be one of the most effective bigs in this game and Vince Carter will be like 8 tenths of a Kobe which is good enough to be very good.

Reserves - Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson

Philadelphia - Andre Iguodala and Allen Iverson

Double AI. Fun team to run but no real bigs. Here's hoping Brand gets a little boost.

Reserves - Elton Brand, Louis Williams

Phoenix - Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire

Essentially the same as Stockton/Malone. A very effective combo but sadly something like Baron Davis/Blake Griffin could end up being better since Baron can finish easier. J-Rich is an awesome addition.

Reserves - Jason Richardson, Channing Frye

Portland - Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge

Roy will be awesome. Everyone else on the Blazers will be average.

Reserves - Greg Oden, Andre Miller

Sacramento - Tyreke Evans and Kevin Martin

Great guard combination with the slash/shoot. Tyreke Evans will own this game.

Reserves - Jason Thompson, Omri Casspi

San Antonio - Tim Duncan and Tony Parker

Lacks some shooting. Parker will be a blur.

Reserves - Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson

Toronto Raptors - Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkoglu

Bosh will be a pretty awesome guy in this game. Turkoglu should be raining 3s easy.

Reserves - Andrea Bargnani, Jose Calderon

Utah - Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer

I'm starting to get bored.

Reserves - Mehmet Okur, Andrei Kirilenko

Washington - yawn
