Started in shout. Using this as a source.

East Europe
PG Goran Dragic
SG Drazen Petrovic
SF Andrei Kirilenko
PF Kristaps Porzingis
C Arvydas Sabonis

bench
G Sarunas Marciulionis
F Hedo Turkoglu
F Peja Stojakovic
C Vlade Divac

.

West Europe
PG Tony Parker
SG Luol Deng
SF Detlef Schrempf
PF Dirk Nowitzki
C Pau Gasol

bench
G Ricky Rubio
G Jose Calderon
F Nic Batum
C Marc Gasol

.

Everyone Else
PG Steve Nash
SG Manu Ginobili
SF Andres Nocioni
PF Al Horford
C Dikembe Mutombo

bench
G Matthew Dellavedova
F Luis Scola
F Serge Ibaka
C Yao Ming

.

I didn't count anyone who played for Team USA, so Duncan, Hakeem, Ewing, Dominique, Szczerbiak, Kyrie are all out. I also counted Ibaka as Everyone Else rather than West Europe because he is and because West EUrope is really stacked already. I like East Europe to win though, best balance.

It's interesting that every zone is capital s Stacked with bigs, but it makes sense if you think about it. 6' guys around the world play soccer. 7' not so much.

thought raised by ank in shout:
swapped Andres Nocioni for JJ Barea, bumped Delly from starting SG to backup G

both Noc and Walter Herrmann were ACB MVPs, Walt was much later to the NBA and didn't have any real impact, Andres "El Gigante" was a bigger contributor to the gold, I went with him
