It suddenly occured to me that the basketball equivalent of Ryoma Echizen could actually make a very good Allen Iverson Expy.
So what do you think?

Just made this topic out of my bored mind. I'm one of those who grew up watching Slam Dunk and through it I have realized how awesome the game of basketball is.
Though I really don't watch basketball anymore except the NBA Playoffs, I've always imagined a basketball story with the potential to become the next Slam Dunk. Kuroko No Basuke is definitely up there in terms of popularity, but no, I don't really buy it because of its physics-defying moves inspired by The Prince Of Tennis.
If I wanted to watch basketball anime, at least give me something that actually follows the laws of physics, even if they have different rules from say, NBA or FIBA.
But anyways, back to what I'm saying. I've been trying out different team combinations right at the top of my head:
As for protagonists, most basketball anime I have ever seen are Forwards.
So I kept on wondering why they haven't made a Point Guard (sorry, Kuroko, but you're just not cut to be a PG) or Center protagonist yet. But I could guess that it's because the Center is The Big Guy of the Five-Man Band. So I'm having different ideas for protagonists from the top of my head and I feel like I had to let it out like now. Here they are:
In all likeliness, I would like to base my teams from either the current NBA teams (OKC, Miami, Memphis, Rose-era Chicago, etc.) or from the other all-time greats not featured before (Isiah Thomas-era Detroit Pistons, championship-era Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs dynasty). However, it seems that I am more inclined to base the hero team from the Oklahoma City Thunder, while the rival team from the Miami Heat.
For a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits flavor to the story a la Eyeshield21, I'm inclined to base the hero team from the 2004 Detroit Pistons and the Opposing Sports Team from the 2004 Los Angeles Lakers.
That would be all for now, I could get better ideas later. I would like to know first what do you think about these.
Thanks in advance.
