“I’d probably go with Luka [Doncic] at the point,” Durant started. “Luka, me, LeBron [James], Embiid at my five because Embiid can shoot the three better than {Nikola Jokic]… Then you gotta go with someone like Klay [Thompson]. He’s 6’7″, shooting that thing like that.”.
Atrocious defense ngl but the offense would be unstoppable ofc

And this is why you don’t let players make roster decisions.

Who is the ideal spacing forward you’d take prefer on this team over Klay?
MPJ, Mikal Bridges, Paul George come to mind for me. Those guys are just better versions of Klay at this point. You could also go with some more defensive focused players like OG Anunoby or Herb Jones.
Of course there are more ball dominant players like Tatum, Kawhi, Franz Wagner that would definitely work on this team, but it would create chemistry issues and their on ball talent wouldn’t be that additive.

I’m not convinced Luka can play point guard in a pass first environment. He struggles in every all star game, as an example. I think his game is based on volume and ball dominance.

Klay lol.

He’s welcome to sign a deal for the MLE with Dallas when his contract is up, lol.

lol at the Jokic shade.
Jokic is better than all 5 players he chose

Embiid at my five because Embiid can shoot the three better than {Nikola Jokic].
Jokic career 3 pt FG%, 35.0%, Embiid 34.1%

Without reading, he probably said Matthews and Kleber, right?

It’s a good starting 5. KD obviously favors size, which makes sense. I’d take Jocik over Embiid, but with Luka at point Jocik is kind of redundant so taking Embiid is fair.
They’d be unstoppable on offense, that’s for certain.

Him not having Curry in his lineup is insane.

Dude really took Klay for his shooting when Steph exists

I’m sorry but we saw in the Olympics what it looks like with curry in space, Luka is great but curry on this starting 5 would be best all time by far

Hey KD, Jokic has a better career 3pt% than Embiid
JNerdGaming
just say the fucking lineup in the title
mr_shmits
Jokic can’t shoot the 3? 🤨
-Boston-Terrier-
This era of basketball honestly confuses me.
I don’t have any real gripe with going with Embiid over Jokic but arguing you’d take the one C over the other because they shoot the three *marginally* better is just insane.
sloppymcgee
Curry prob didn’t include KD in his super team
gigglios
That lineup is easy to beat with some team of jokic davis tatum sga or something
SlicedMango
I would assume he means everyone in their primes, prime Klay would open up the floor so much for that lineup

Klay in 2024 lmao

they would be gassed out because they would be asked to play defense. i dont doubt they can find an extra gear on d. but it would be a new balance to adjust to.

Steph SGA Tatum Giannis Jokic beats that team me thinks
PorvaniaAmussa
Perfect as in, in 2024 or in their primes? Cause, that roster is fallible.

This team will score +130 every night while allowing +120
