I think on this mythical team Giannis is the one you have to focus on, your goal is for Luka or Jokic to take any shot that's not at the rim. Even giving up a great look from 2 or 3 is always better than a Giannis dunk facilitated by a historically great passer.
Ngl add a slasher or shooter to help space gianiss and jokic on the floor alongside helping Luka. And I don't know what team (from the 2010's) other than the 2017 warriors can beat these guys.
Okay but now imagine the sheer amount of hatred that could be generated if you team those 3 up with Harden, Embiid, and the NBA telling the refs to give them the benefit of the doubt on both sides.
This sub might implode.
Nurkic over Gobert. Nurkic might actually fight back, Gobert would be very french passive aggressive. Watching them in that last game vs Phoenix was hilarious
Okay but a Luka Booker duo would actually be fun to watch on-court, although they might be completely insufferable to look at when they talk lol. Booker would have been the perfect guard to pair with Luka, just great off-ball mastery partnered with great on-ball mastery.
To this day I can't believe they hired Luka's national team coach and then didn't draft him. Luka, Booker, and Mikal would have been an insane trio to build around.
something I’ve realized years ago watching Lonzo and Caruso were wreak havoc to put their team among the top of defensive rankings is that I really enjoy watching that end of that floor
so it’s Derrick White, Herb Jones and Wemby for me
The best part of that brief era was that Caruso and Lonzo were both good in transition, so the turnovers they forced led to exciting fast breaks going the other way.
And the entire team was basically dunk contest guys.
* DeRozan, Lavine and Jones Jr had all participated in dunk contests.
* Javonte Green was one of the best in-game dunkers in the league.
* Troy Brown Jr had been a dunk contest regular at different levels leading up to the NBA.
With Lonzo being arguably the best transition passer in the league.
Maybe not built for the playoffs but they were definitely built for highlight reels.
Jokic, Giannis, Curry. Pairing Jokic with the greatest shooter OAT, and a supercharged Aaron Gordon for all the lobs and backdoor cuts would be pure entertainment.
Not for entertainment value, but I often think about how well Sabonis and Jaren Jackson Jr complement one another. They cover all of each other's weaknesses perfectly.
Jimmy butler, Luka, and ant Ed.
I want a villain team that trashtalks, competitive af, and want everyone to root against them.
Fill up the roster with all the hated players.
Villain team would be entertainment peak.
>* Curry, KD, Lebron
>This one because it would be entertaining to see them still playing at a high level basically swan song to try and win one more chip
On brand move for all 3 of them too, if they collude for the team up
Wemby, jokic, and Luka would be an absurd lineup and victor would be feasting.
Luka would have to be less heliocentric to an extent though and get a more competent off ball game
Jokic, Wemby and Ant. Imagine if instead of Aaron Gordon its fucking Victor Wembanyama coming in from that dunkers spot and instead of Jamal Murray you had Ant just driving to the rim.
Brunson, Luka, Trae. Just to see the chaos when the 3 most ball dominant players have to try to play together and figure out what to do without the ball.
I like your first trio, but would swap KD for Jokic. Watching Curry play the All-Star Game with Joker, it looked like they have natural chemistry.
Also, I feel like KD is about to be old hat. He’s in the decline.
I’ve been wishing Jalen Green was on a playoff team, so might put him with players from the Knicks, Wolves, or Pacers.
Luka, Jokic, Giannis
Insane spacing, insane passing, insane midrange, and Giannis pelting down the court and dunking from the 3pt line. Yeah, this is disgusting.
Every play would just be a lob
They playing volleyball out here
"European ahh sport"
Giannis would attack the rim with or without ball and he'd pull multiple defenders
Tbh on this mythical team Giannis is the one you have to leave in 1-on-1
I think on this mythical team Giannis is the one you have to focus on, your goal is for Luka or Jokic to take any shot that's not at the rim. Even giving up a great look from 2 or 3 is always better than a Giannis dunk facilitated by a historically great passer.
Everyone gets a transition lob
This was what I was about to type. The foreign MVP candidates
The Foreign Legion of Laughs
Embiid in shambles
And give them an off-season TV show.
Two Balks, a Greek and a Pizza Place.
Luka Jokic Wemby
Wemby would be holding up a sheet of paper that said 100 almost every game
3 best players in the world
This is Paul George erasure
They should all just take the min and join a team for a couple season and win 2 easy rings then go back to their own business.
Ngl add a slasher or shooter to help space gianiss and jokic on the floor alongside helping Luka. And I don't know what team (from the 2010's) other than the 2017 warriors can beat these guys.
I mean Giannis is perfectly capable of slashing. He just barely gets the opportunity because he's usually running the offense.
Giannis is slasher.
100%
Pat Bev, Draymond, and Dillon Brooks
Draymond, Grayson Allen, and Dwight Howard. No nuts would be safe!
*Dwight liked that.*
Sometimes he like to get a lil nasty
Kitty will be courtside every game
Cp3 the fourth man.
Dwight, rudy gay and gradey dick Dwight, lowrey and dick The memes will be crazy
With assistant coaches Matt Barnes and Derek Fisher
Okay but now imagine the sheer amount of hatred that could be generated if you team those 3 up with Harden, Embiid, and the NBA telling the refs to give them the benefit of the doubt on both sides. This sub might implode.
Versus 3 former players: Latrell Sprewell, Ron Artest and Dennis Rodman. Gilbert Arenas is the ref.
It's like the newer version of CP3, KG and Rondo. I'm here for it
Bam, OG and Jrue
This team wins every game 79-74
Nah more like 39-24
absolutely filthy defense
This is my 2K fantasy team
Curry, Luka, Wemby Or Draymond + 2 of his victims (my vote is Gobert and Poole)
lol for real put Draymond with ALL his enemies on one team for a season, i would pay a fuckton to watch that!
Draymond better punch some guards and wings if he wants to be competitive
Dillon "The Dynasty Starts After You" Brooks
Nurkic over Gobert. Nurkic might actually fight back, Gobert would be very french passive aggressive. Watching them in that last game vs Phoenix was hilarious
Imagine Curry being able to be a spot up shooter and getting wide open 3s. He'd be like a 70% 3PT shooter.
Dray coming off the bench for gobert would break him
Just Wemby and Luka. I don’t care who else is on that team, but my GOD those two would be incredible to see on the same team.
Luka, Rudy, Booker
A family team. I like it.
Okay but a Luka Booker duo would actually be fun to watch on-court, although they might be completely insufferable to look at when they talk lol. Booker would have been the perfect guard to pair with Luka, just great off-ball mastery partnered with great on-ball mastery.
To this day I can't believe they hired Luka's national team coach and then didn't draft him. Luka, Booker, and Mikal would have been an insane trio to build around.
It's a crying shame the Suns never had an opportunity to make that happen.
Ah yes, a father/sons outing
Rudy would fuck up all the lobs..that would be very frustrating to watch for me
Imagine Lukas reaction to the fourth fucked lob
Lebron, Curry, Wemby
something I’ve realized years ago watching Lonzo and Caruso were wreak havoc to put their team among the top of defensive rankings is that I really enjoy watching that end of that floor so it’s Derrick White, Herb Jones and Wemby for me
The best part of that brief era was that Caruso and Lonzo were both good in transition, so the turnovers they forced led to exciting fast breaks going the other way.
Zach LaVine outlets that season were awesomd.
You’re thinking of the exact same play I am, aren’t you? https://youtu.be/l_EwrGCvtwc?si=gxooFTitVer1t-SZ
I most certainly am. I love that type of pass from Lonzo, its so fun to do in games.
And the entire team was basically dunk contest guys. * DeRozan, Lavine and Jones Jr had all participated in dunk contests. * Javonte Green was one of the best in-game dunkers in the league. * Troy Brown Jr had been a dunk contest regular at different levels leading up to the NBA. With Lonzo being arguably the best transition passer in the league. Maybe not built for the playoffs but they were definitely built for highlight reels.
It’s a shame that Lonzo’s career has been so derailed by those injuries… that was a really fun squad to watch.
Bulldozers: Giannis, Zion, Embiid
Team Day to Day
How has nobody decided to stick Luka and Wemby together in the pick-and-roll with Crackhead Curry running around on the perimeter.
fr, not only would that run the league, but it would be incredible to watch lmao.
Crackhead curry lmao
It's literally the top comment
Yeah 😂
Literally the comment above yours is that lol
Curry, Dame and Trae. Yeah you are gonna get an easy bucket on one end but you are going to get skyfucked on the other.
The entire game takes place on one half of the court because Team Skyfuck just keep pulling up from 40 feet.
How would they do against Giannis, Wemby and Jokic?
This should be an annual game at All-Star Weekend, bigs vs smalls.
Tyrese Maxey, Tyrese Haliburton, Anthony Edwards. 3 great players from the same draft. Would be non-stop smiles.
Vibes would be immaculate
They'd run laps around you, too
Track star team
Kyle Anderson, Ron Baker, Boban
Shot Clock Violation fans eating good tonight
Team Molasses
Luka, Wemby, Jokic would dominate in every aspect
Zero NCAA wins between all three of them. I don't think they'd have what it takes.
Undefeated in college.
Vs lebron, derozan and Lowry
Jokic, Giannis, Curry. Pairing Jokic with the greatest shooter OAT, and a supercharged Aaron Gordon for all the lobs and backdoor cuts would be pure entertainment.
Kyrie, Ant and Giannis
Not for entertainment value, but I often think about how well Sabonis and Jaren Jackson Jr complement one another. They cover all of each other's weaknesses perfectly.
Take two good players to make one great player.
KD Westbrook and Harden but in the year of our lord, 2024. I mainly think they'd have a lot of issues playing together these days.
There is no way SGA Butler Embiid would be entertaining lol. Games would take 2 days
KD and bron going to SA to win a chip with wemby
Jokic, Kyrie, Curry Two amazing off ball players running around one of the best passers in the world
Jokic Chet Wemby best passer with 2 longestboi lob targets
Jokic Zion Curry
What do you think of Jokic Murray Booker ? Book’s probably the best player I can think of who would perfectly accentuate and be accentuated by Jok
Ja Morant, Anthony Edwards, Zion Williamson Or Luka, LeBron, Jokic
Haliburton, Giannis, and prime klay
Young: Wemby, Chet, Ant Middle: Doncic, Tatum, Giannis Old: Steph, LeBron, Durant
Jimmy butler, Luka, and ant Ed. I want a villain team that trashtalks, competitive af, and want everyone to root against them. Fill up the roster with all the hated players. Villain team would be entertainment peak.
Make Pat Bev the coach
Giannis, Curry, Luka
Melo, bronny, kuzma
My answer would be: Luka Jokic Wemby
Luka, Jokic, Wemby Luka, Jokic, Zion
Curry, Dame, Luka. No logo is safe.
Luka, Joker, Wemby. It would be super fun to watch.
I want KD, Steph & Bron to link up for a year just to see what could’ve been and to make the 2010 decade vs 2020s be real interesting.
Let’s replace the All-Star game with this
3v3 all star games would actually be fire
3 players ain't a pair
Giannis, Jokic and Shai
I'll give a whole starting 5. Haliburton, Ant, Mikal Bridges, Scottie Barnes, Bam. Crazy up-tempo offense with a ton of defensive versatility.
Trae, LeBron, Wemby
That would be so fun
DeRozen, Luka, Jokic Would be interesting to see how DeRozen could operate in the mid range with that much spacing.
Poole, Westbrook, Drummond —Shaqtin’ Dream Team “For entertainment value”
If all 3 were in their prime though..
Luka,DiVincenzo,Markkanen,KP, & Joker Bench being- Prichard , Reeves, Caruso, TJ, Bogdanović, Franz, Hauser, Sabonis, Kornet
Fox, Adebayo, JJJ
>* Curry, KD, Lebron >This one because it would be entertaining to see them still playing at a high level basically swan song to try and win one more chip On brand move for all 3 of them too, if they collude for the team up
Wemby, Ant and Ja. Highlights would be crazy.
LaMelo Ball, Scottie Barnes, Victor Wembanyama
Harden, KD and Kyrie 💔🕊️ HarNation that was our last chance 💔💔💔💔💔
I never seen a more guaranteed ring minus the KD warriors. I will forever be bitter about those injuries 😭
Dillon brooks, Isaiah Stewart, James Johnson
Dillon Brooks looks like a cute puppy next to the other two.
That first team would have the craziest poster highlight tape ever.
Wemby, Bol Bol, and LaMelo Ball
Wemby, chet, jokic. Fuck it let’s see what happens
Giannis, Luka, Steph
Michael Porter Jr., Jordan Poole, Cam Thomas. Imagine the ball movement…
Any trio with KAT( if the Wolves do get tired of him)and Embiid bonus if it ads Maxey
I see you, fellow KAT + Embiid shipper.
Draymond, Nurk, Rudy
Wemby, Chet, Bol Bol and Poku. I guess get KD in there to make a starting 5 while we're at it.
Curry, Luka, and jokic.
Luka Jokic Wemby
Joker, Boban and Luka
Ayton Bagley Luka
I need only 2: Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić.
Fox, Ja, Amen. What pace would they play at? Yes.
Draymond, Rudy, Poole
Wemby, jokic, and Luka would be an absurd lineup and victor would be feasting. Luka would have to be less heliocentric to an extent though and get a more competent off ball game
Jokic, Wemby and Ant. Imagine if instead of Aaron Gordon its fucking Victor Wembanyama coming in from that dunkers spot and instead of Jamal Murray you had Ant just driving to the rim.
Wemby, Rudy and Chet for the lulz
Dillon Brooks, Pat Bev, Draymond Green
Jrue, OG, and Caruso. I want defensive mayhem for 48 minutes
thanasis bronny and liangello ball
Entertainment purposes? Ant, Maxey, Butler The post game interviews would be legendary with them goofing
Siakam, Haliburton, Mathurin
SGA, Durant, Chet.
Boooooooo
Luka,booker, lebron and you know who with the draft pick.
2 fathers and their respective sons.
Yes. The nba would be better if it were more family friendly instead of promoting thuggish nonsense every chance they get.
Embiid, Trae Young, Harden.
Ignoring current Isaiah thomas, allen iverson, muggsy Earl boykins and yao ming to round out the starting 5
Poole, Draymond and Gobert
Ben Simmons, Zion, Jonathan Isaac.
Dillan brooks/ joker/ kyrie
Jokic Curry Gordon
Jordan Poole, Dillon Brooks, Daishen Nix
Josh Hart, Suggs, Jose Alvarado. Nonstop hustle every single game
Curry, Lebron, Jokic good luck to the league
Dillon brooks, draymond, Joel embiid
luka lebron and wemby
Wemby, Chet, KD.
For pure entertainment value, I'd go with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Dončić, and Ja Morant.
Luka, Tatum, Wemby
jordan poole, spencer dinwiddie, westbrook coached by darvin ham
AD, Gobert, and Wemby. The paint is officially closed.
Jokic, Curry and Lebron.
Are you kidding me? It's Draymond, Gobert, Nurkic.
Thanasis, Keljin, Bronny.
Bogues, Boykins and Webb
Brunson, Luka, Trae. Just to see the chaos when the 3 most ball dominant players have to try to play together and figure out what to do without the ball.
Luka Kyrie Lebron. Ignore my flare. But seriously Luka and lebron playing together would be so awesomeee plus he already has history with kyrie.
Brown was certainly a choice to pair with ant and Ja in terms of explosive dunks but op’s flair checks out
KD, Beal, Booker
Steph, Giannis, Jokic
Draymond Green, Pat Bev, Jordan Poole 👀
Draymond, Poole, and Gobert.
Trae, Embiid, Harden. Whole opposing team would be fouled out by halftime.
Luka Tatum Wemby
I’d like to see Tatum, Brown, and Porzingis play together!
Gobert draymond and no clue. Who else would be entertaining with them lol?
Gobert, KAT and Jarrett Allen for the Shaqtin a fool package
I like your first trio, but would swap KD for Jokic. Watching Curry play the All-Star Game with Joker, it looked like they have natural chemistry. Also, I feel like KD is about to be old hat. He’s in the decline. I’ve been wishing Jalen Green was on a playoff team, so might put him with players from the Knicks, Wolves, or Pacers.
Luka, Porzingis, Brunson
* SGA, Jimmy Butler, Embiid They would end up fighting at halfway because they all wanted the ball
