You’re going with Edward’s and Towns over your boy Ben Simmons?
Yes, because the Twolves are my favorite team in the NBA now.
I never really had a favorite team before, I just supported whoever Ben Simmons played for.
And because I like the Twolves so much, I choose their stars first.
Ok, weird line-up........but it's going to be hard as heck to score on these guys and my hope is that the combination of Curry's pull-up shot and MJ drawing double teams creates the spacing that is lacking from outside shooting.
And yes, prime Artest is there to hound the other team's PG. His "can cover 1-4" defensive prime was only a season or two, but man, nobody did it better that I have ever seen.

I agree, Artest is the best PG-SG-SF-PF defender I've ever seen. Also shot a really good 3-pointer in his prime. I might form a team with Artest, Draymond Green and Bruce Bowen, or make them my 2nd unit at least so if I'm being outscored badly I just put those 3 defensive monsters in and watch the opponent fall apart....
Giannis is going to go down in history as one of the most dominant scorers ever.
His efficiency is Jokic-like, despite not being a shooter and not even a good free-throw-shooter.
So Giannis is one of the greatest defenders ever, and one of the greatest offensive players ever.
So if Giannis gets 3 or 4 rings, nobody will be better than him in NBA history other than MJ.
LeBron's defense is nowhere near Giannis level, and LeBron's scoring is no better than Giannis scoring.
LeBron is better at passing of course, but Giannis is better at everything else - defense, rebounding, scoring....
In the last 7 years:
Giannis 29ppg 56% field.
LeBron 27.3ppg .517 field .353 threes
And in LeBron's entire career he's shooting .505 field, .345 threes.
Giannis entire career stats is not useful, because he started slow.
