The NBA All-Alphabet Line-ups

This list contains the best possible starting line-ups for each letter of the alphabet.

The rules were simple.

• It had to be the players last name which coincided with the respective letter.
• The line-up had to be as close as possible to the player’s regular playing position (leeway was given to letters with not many players available to choose from).
• The players were chosen from the NBA.com mobile app’s player lists so they were mainly players who were on team rosters (exceptions were made with limited choices).
• Lists are in typical lineup order of PG, SG, SF, PF, C with a 6th man.
