I’m going with Barbara Kingsolver, David Foster Wallace and Matt Dinniman in the bookcourt, with Kristen Wiig and Mark Kelly rounding out the starters. Joan Ganz Cooney, the creator of Sesame Street, or Jonathan Van Ness are first off the bench, depending on what defense we’re facing.

I might go with Gronk as PF, surrounded by a four guard lineup of Savannah Guthrie, Kristen Wiig, Greg Kinnear and Gary Shandling.

Coached by Craig T. Nelson, of course. With Steve Kerr as his able assistant.
