League of Legends 5 players, 5 positions.



Here is what I came up with when I tried to match each basketball position to their a LoL role.



Support = Point Guard, focuses on assists and setting up/supporting teammates



Bot lane/AD Carry = Shooting Guard, strong damage, catch and shoot shooters, various types of SGs can do damage/score from a variety of ranges.

(Kobe reminds me of Vayne, Wade = Corki, and Ray Allen = Caitlyn)



Jungle = Small Forward = Can do a variety of things and support team in a variety of ways. There are many types of jungle from monster carries like Lebron, to "glue" guys who do a little bit of everything.

(Lebron reminds me of Lee Sin, a well rounded champion that can do quite a bit of everything and is capable of dominating the game and getting a lot of kills and assists. Durant reminds me of Nocturne, great scorer (able to get alot of kills) and can attack from a distance)



AP Middle = Power Forward = Important presence on the inside, some are defensively minded while others are more oriented to offence.

(Dirk resembles Ahri, very dangerous offensively and capable of securing kills with a range of tricks, Prime Kevin Garnett is like Morgana, helps his team with spellshield, shuts down the other team with ultimate, and still capable of stunning and causing massive dps)



Tank/Solo Top = Center = Usually the biggest player on the team, a pivotal part of the defense, and gets in deep between enemy lines to do their business.

(Shaq is a Cho Gath, big and powerful, Yao is maybe a Tryndamere as he's pretty fragile but can do a lot of dps given the right opportunity.





So, I just want to ask, does this make sense to anybody else or am I just crazy. I agree that none of the classifications are 100% concrete, but at the same time none of the positions in basketball are 100% clearly defined either.



And there are clearly players who have strong skillset and can play multiple positions effectively (like Magic Johnson).



I want to know if y'all find these positions to LoL roles correct or if you see it differently.



and Finally, which champions would your favorite players be if they were in League of Legends? "Have Wings will Fly" As I was watching Heat v Bulls today I was thinking.
