Blue Team: C: Anthony Davis F: Dirk Nowitzki F: LeBron James G: Kobe Bryant G: Chris Paul
Red Team: C: Tim Duncan F: Kevin Garnett F: Paul George G: Michael Jordan G: Damian Lillard
I constructed each team by building from one GOAT candidate (Jordan and LeBron) then choosing two legendary 00s players who would complement their peak package (Bryant/Nowitzki on LeBron and Duncan/Garnett on Jordan). After that I round out the chemistry by choosing two players from pool of 2010s stars that somewhat underachieved compared to their talent or to what have been expected from them (Davis/Paul and Lillard/George).
So which team do you think wins in a single elimination? Best of seven? And more importantly, WHY and HOW would they win or lose to the other team? I would like to know some of the dynamics you’ll be able to come up with these teams. Thanks!
EDIT: Each player are on their peak.
I think Embiid instead of AD makes the blue team much better and Embiid also fits the idea of “underachieving 2010s star”. Right now I’m picking red though, it’s built so much better
EDIT: I also feel like both teams would be better off if you swapped Dame and CP3 around?
