The NBA’s ULTIMATE Hypothetical Matchup…

  1. Joker is gonna get killed on defense along with curry. Curry is gonna be a mismatch for literally everyone on the top team and Joker is getting bbq chickened by everyone as well. Really the top team is winning cause shaq is getting 35+ every game without the freethrows😭😭😭

  2. The weakness for the top team is shooting first you have Shaq who made one three in his career, Tim Duncan historically is just plane not a good shooter. Larry bird (the shooter) shot 600 something three pointers he was a great shooter for his era but that is it And Kobe shot 33% from deep. Lebron shoots 35% from deep in his career.

  3. Bottom has much better shooting and spacing.

    Bottom also has a major defensive liability that is going to be exploited to great success.

  4. This is easy as hell. So we are talking about strichly these 10 guys, at the top of their game, with full rest and top coaches like Pat Riley vs Phil Jackson then we are playing at a neutral arena like Madison Square Garden with the arena fill with the world's most important people watching in a 7 games series? The answer is me, can I play for just 2 mins off the bench? Pls.

  5. Top wins purely because you added Shaq. If Shaq was someone else, it would become more even. Heck, switch Jokic and Shaqs, and it becomes more even.

  6. Giannis and MJ the only plus defenders and they don’t have an answer for Bron or shaq. It’s easily the top team

  7. Bottom only wins with lights out shooting. Top can win multiple ways. Edge to top team.

  8. Bottom team has an elite offense and frankly an average defense whereas the top has a slightly worse offense but a ridiculously elite defense which is the difference

  9. Top in 6 imo.

    Duncans defense will be crazy on helping nullify both Giannis and Jokics inside presence, especially when he has half the work to do with both Shaq (dominant both ends) and Bron (greatest help defender ever) to help at all times. No one is guarding Bron or Shaq and both have easily the ability to take over, whereas bottom team onyl really has Steph and maybe Jokic who can fully take over (Kobe=MJ, Bron>>>>>>KD, Duncan>>Giannis, also Bird for help on every matchup) and Jokics inside game will be heavily weakened, which means its pretty much Steph only, which can also be locked down if we switch Bron to PG just to bully Steph

  10. I agree. No one is guarding Shaq without a double team then you have to leave Tim Bron or Kobe open which is suicide. Top in 7. Also bottom is much smaller than top.

  11. I just feel like unless its legends vs modern players,you have to throw shaq and duncan on opposite sides as no ones a better match up as tim vs shaq

  12. shaq✅ joker
    kobe MJ✅
    Bird steph✅
    Duncan Giannis
    LbJ. KD✅
    Bird can’t guard curry and vice versa but i give the shooter’s edge to curry
    We seen what happened when KD and LBJ played each other with stacked teams KD took it to em, plus the leader on this team is mj so kd leadership’s flaws don’t matter
    yah can argue the rest
    But MJ doesn’t do game sevens bottom in 5

  13. Finally some agrees the top wins because the Tim Duncan and Shaq Duo would be unstoppable Offensively and Defensive and lebron and Kobe and Larry legends come bro Top team wins

  14. Group at the top wins, no one can guard shaq, he is gonna play with jokic. Kobe and Jordan are basically the same so they cancel each other out. Curry ain't gonna guard lebron so he is also feasting. KD and Giannis ain't gonna be that much better than Bird and Duncan so there's not much of an advantage there either.
