My choice as well for starting center   


>PF -	Charles Smith
 
I would put in Pervis Ellison instead, pretty solid at the center position. 
Wait till, he plays at his normal "power forward" position.


>SF -	Dominique Wilkins

The best small forward left of the NBA team, assuming without the injury!

>PG -
	Tim Hardaway
IMHO, the best point guard besides Stockton and Magic  
 

>SG -	Reggie Miller

No, I would'nt start him, even put him on the team.  Too one-dimentional!
I vote for Kendall Gill, one of the brightest young star emerging in the 
NBA.  Only problem, is his 3-Pt. shot, but I'll leave that with Tim H.

Bench - Robert Parish....He may be old, but you need a veteran in the team for
                 experience.  Could still hold him own!   CENTER 

        Shaq O'Neil......Can't leave him.  Just in case they bang up too much
                 on Robert Parish.  I'll bring in Shaq to squash them!  Besides,                 "the Chief" will teach him a thing or too!   CENTER 

        Larry Johnson....Junior version of Charles Barkley!  Just imagine him  
                 and Shaq in the floor together!     SMALL/POWER FORWARD

	Lionnel Simmons..Sensation scorer at La Salle!  All around player at
                 Sacramento!  Shows that he could defend and score! 
	         SMALL FORWARD/SHOOTING GUARD

	Jimmy Jackson....Could play three position.  Oustanding career at
		 Ohio State!  Bob Knight says it all, when he told Jimmy that 
		 it was a pleasure to see him play over the years at the 
		 BIG 10 conference!   POINT/SHOOTING GUARD/SMALL FORWARD 

	Kevin Johnson....Tough point guard, gutsy enough to take it to the big
		 boys.  Inspirational leader!  Have you seen him *psych* up his
		 team.  Could penetrate and take the hit then, dish it out to
		 his teammates for a THUNDEROUS dunk!    POINT GUARD

	The last pick is very tough.  I had Mark Price, Derrick Coleman and
	Shawn Kemp.
	Picking Mark Price would not be an intelligent choice since I have Tim
	and Kevin as my point.  Never hurt to carry one more, but I choose a
	versatile team where other players could handle the point.
	Derrick Coleman.  He intrigues me!  Could score and rebound.  Heared
	his attitude is a problem.  But I will choose Mark Price over him.
	Shawn Kemp.  Young!  Would like to rip the rim apart. Powerful!
	Athletic!  Full of Energy!  Could score, rebound and block!
	I'll pick Kemp for my last pick.  Why?  Just in case, my team runs out
	of time or I desperately needed some time.  I'll just send it Larry,
	Shaq and Shawn to RIP the rim out!  Instant time-out!

	Pretty impressive!  This is just my vote!

Coaches.....Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!  Did'nt give much thought but Riley looks good.
Don Nelson, give him a break, he's been campaining for the job.  Give it to 
him.  Besides, impressive with the way he handle versatile players and that's
what I have in my team!
I'll give my College Asst. Coach to Jim Valvano......I need someone to ran 
around the court after we win the Gold medal!  Strickly, T.V. movie stuff!
He could bring Dick Vitale for showmanship.

I would rephrase the last paragraph:
The only way that the Dream Team (I) not to beat Dream Team (II) is not to
finish the game.  How?   Larry-Shaq-Shawn!  *RIP* it out!
But realistically, I think I have a chance!  Do I?
