How many top performing players does it take to have a winning NBA ball club?

For most teams that reach the Finals, They need one superstar, a couple of All-Star caliber supporting players, and a nice blend of role players to fill the deficiencies of the lead guys.

Using the Season FIC rankings, we have organized the top-100 players so far in the 2008-09 season by team.

While the Lakers have three in the top-25, Boston has four in the top-36, with their fifth, Kendrick Perkins at 82nd.

The Cavaliers have six players in the top-100, and the Blazers, like Boston, have five. Mike Dunleavy's Clippers also have five, but Zach Randolph has played the majority of his games with the Knicks still.

Due to the injuries to Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, San Antonio is the only team with just one player (Tim Duncan) listed.

The Grizzlies, Bucks, Thunder, and Kings are the only teams that do not have a single player in the top-50. They are a combined 42 games under .500.
