In his list Harden choose to move Michael Jordan to the small forward position, considering Jordan was one of the most versatile and prolific players who had the ability to score from any position on the court.
Well, having LeBron James as his point guard would undoubtedly create an intriguing dynamic.
Alongside James, Harden has chosen the late legendary Kobe Bryant famously known by his moniker “Black Mamba,”.
For his frontcourt, Harden chooses another two legendary figures of the game, Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Duncan, who would add the required finesse to this ultimate squad.
Harden’s list goes like this:
LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Michael Jordan
Tim Duncan
Shaquille O’Neal
He said, “I’m going LeBron at my point guard. I’m going Kobe at my two. I’m going Jordan at my three. I’m going Timmy at my four and I’m going Shaq at my five.”
Jordan had won six championships, five MVPs and six Finals MVPs, Kobe Bryant had won five championships, an MVP, and two Finals MVPs. They both are considered two of the best shooting guards in the NBA.
Tim Duncan, had also won five championships, three Finals MVPs and two MVPs. He also holds the title of greatest power forward.
Shaq has won four championships, three Finals MVPs, and an MVP. Meanwhile, James has four titles, four MVPs, and four Finals MVPs.
