The S- Thread/The Crossover #1 For 10/30/12 (Second Version): The Modern Day NBA and The X-Factors

Image From NBA.com 

The Key Factors in order for your team to be the best in the Association. 

1. You need at least three gunners on the court

2. You need a versatile small or power forward who can do it all

3. You need a center who can run the court.

4. You need a competent backup point guard who can score occasionally, not make bad decisions, and commit to defense.

5. Just as important as the first four factors are having a top coach willing to call the best plays in the clutch, have their players space the court well, and emphasize team ball movement and no stagnation on offense and communication on defense.
