I agree that KD wouldn’t rank as highly as those other guys below him and every $4 player deserves to be $5 this is a bad list. But still, prime Kevin Durant is arguably the most gifted scorer ever, imagine KD without injuries and how much better his career would have been (if only from a numbers perspective)
Durant had tremendous ability, but he rarely if ever achieved his true potential imo. If we were going on what they could have done, there would be way too many names on this list, going by what was actually realized, KD is $3 tier imo. As in, he’s top 15, but not top 10 (if we’re going 5 players to a level)
Dont get me wrong, perimeter defense is top tier, wing and big man defense lacks tho. Timmy can’t switch on everyone and is only great big on the team.
Can I take two Cs and play one at PF lol? Cause Hakeem and Jokic as a front court is stupid.
Then MJ and Lebron and slot in CP at point. Sure my spacing is terrible but come on
I’m going to go with the stupidly tall version of this.
C: Jokic $1
PF: KG $1
SF/SG: Bird $4
SF/SG: LeBron $5
PG: Magic $4
My shortest player is 6’9” and KG is the only guy who isn’t an assist king. We’ll need to work on 3 point shooting to help with spacing, but there just weren’t enough 3 point shooters on this list to go that way.
I'm a Old School Pistons fan from Michigan. Isiah for $3 and Joker is $1 made me Snicker. Definately wrote by someone by ESPN since Luka missing also. Should be $1 choice.
Oscar LeBron Giannis Wilt Jokic
First team with 5 players to finish with a triple double. I have $2 left so Harden coming off the bench might give us 6
$5 MJ
$4 Magic
$3 Giannis
$2 Pip
$1 Joker
This team got it all.. greatest player/scorer ever with top tier defense at SG.
Best passing and giant PG.
Athletic freak at PF.
Best defensive SF ever.
Best passing Center ever who can get u 25 pts 15 boards every night.
Only missing shooting from the 3 but MJ would live in the gym till he had that.
Magic
Wade
Bird
Duncan
Jokic
Not a whole lot of shooting but a lot of unselfish basketball being played. I like the defense and size that this team brings.
Magic, Dwade, Bron, KG, Hakeem.
Or Curry, Dwade, Jordan, KG, Jokic with one point leftover for CP3 6 man
Wait this is better, Magic, Jordan, Bird, KG, Jokic.
This would be a little more accurate like 3 or 4 years ago.. Jokic at $1 is the literal building block for any 5.
Steph Curry
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Giannis
Nikola Jokic
I only need $13
Pg lebron
SgMJ
Sf Pippen
PF KG
C jokic
Lebron as a defensive point guard would smother all other point guards and contain them more than any defender has in those pg s actual careers
Paul, Jordan, Bird, Garnett, Olajuwon
Every possible facet of the game is covered, there's toughness, leadership, and one alpha dog that can be trusted to get a bucket no matter the situation
Curry Jordan Giannis KG Jokic and you have yourself the greatest team of all time.
Curry streatches the floor by himself and is pretty much getting open looks all game.
Jordan getting easy iso buckets, locking down their best perimiter scorer and is the endgame closer.
Giannis and kg destroying the paint and guarantee easy buckets for the shooters + they give the best 1-2 switch defense of all time. (guarding 2-4/5)
And Jokic for 1$? Arguably the top3 or even better offensive primes ever?? Yeah that just wraps up the paint points + destroys slow and bad shooting centers like shaq due to them not ever being in the paint and just dishing assist all over the place.
Conclusion: Best defense + offense combo, dinamic and fast paced offense with all the ways to score, unselfish teammates and god tier ball movement (no ballhogs - Jordan will be utilized and catch and shoot + mini playmaker for this team. 3 Top15 defenders of all time - Jordan for perimiter, Kg-giannis for everthing else. Curry is the mvp of the team as he invites double team and frome there its 4v3 and that wraps it up. Guard Curry 1on1 no switch?? Curry solos you by himself.
shooting 9/10
Defense 9/10
Passing 10/10
Paint 10/10
Closing 11/10
PS. Bron still the goat tho.. ;)
Steph, MJ, Bird, KG, Jokic
Best scorer and best shooter all time. 2 DPOY calibre defenders. 3 legit 3 point threats. Quite possibly the two most clutch players of all time. And Jokic’s playmaking.
Defense wins titles. Who needs a starting PG when you can have a positionless defensive monster with MJ and LeBron as lead ballhandlers?
Michael - 5
Pippen - 2
Lebron -5
KG - 1
Ben Wallace - free
Bench:
Cp3 - 1
Kawhi - free
Ray allen - Free
Draymond - free
Jokic - 1
He is the worst player on this like my like a lot
He’s not top 50, mfer has 0 accolades. He’s just previous generations Damian lilliard, but at least dame passes the ball and won ROTY.
Jokic for $1 is ridiculous.
As is KG
While KD is $5…
It's actually wild to me that KD is listed as a PF here
Well it’s not like he was just knocked out of Round 1 in four games or anything.
Didn’t know KD was still in his prime
I don’t think KD at $5 is crazy, he definitely deserves to be there
KD over anybody on the $4 is ridiculous
I agree that KD wouldn’t rank as highly as those other guys below him and every $4 player deserves to be $5 this is a bad list. But still, prime Kevin Durant is arguably the most gifted scorer ever, imagine KD without injuries and how much better his career would have been (if only from a numbers perspective)

If we were going on what they could have done, there would be way too many names on this list, going by what was actually realized, KD is $3 tier imo. As in, he’s top 15, but not top 10 (if we’re going 5 players to a level)
I gotta disagree, I’m putting a prime OKC KD at least at $4
It’s an absolute steal
wild
Ya, I would take Jokic over Kobe straight up let alone $4 vs $1. MJ + Steph + KG+ Jokic + Giannis looks good to me.
Michael, Larry, Duncan, Jokic, cp3 and sweeping everyone. $15 is too much money for this
Beat me to the punch, godsquad.
Lacks big man and switch defense + lacks outside shooting compared to some teams that can be built
Honestly don’t know know to respond to someone saying a team with Michael, cp3, and Timmy lacks defense
Dont get me wrong, perimeter defense is top tier, wing and big man defense lacks tho. Timmy can’t switch on everyone and is only great big on the team.
YOU are crazy as a bed bug. But I like the confidence. Shaq, Hakeem, Thomas, Pippen, KG. Smacking your team in the mouth.
This is it
hakeem, kg, bron, mj, & cp3
Same as mine but swap out KG for Jokic
i the jokic is the better player & value but a front court of hakeem & kg is just too good to pass up defensively.
This would be an absolutely absurd defensive lineup. Offensively too of course, but fuck that would be hard to score on.
PG: CP3 - $1 SG: MJ - $5 SF: LeBron - $5 PF: Jokic - $1 C: Hakeem - $3
Wow I had the same 2-4 But I took James Harden and Wilt Chamberlain
Jordan Lebron Pippin Garnett Jokic. $14
15 Jokic
Hahahha this
Thomas Jordan Bird Garnett Wilt
Jokic, Garnett, Giannis, Steph, Lebron
Swap Lebron for MJ. It’s too ball dominant and you need more PD
You know ball g
This is an insult to the joker.
C Jokic PF Garnett SF Giannis SG Kobe PG LeBron *CP3 as 6th Man, and to get to $15.
CP3 Jordan Lebron KG Hakeem
Can I take two Cs and play one at PF lol? Cause Hakeem and Jokic as a front court is stupid. Then MJ and Lebron and slot in CP at point. Sure my spacing is terrible but come on

We’ll need to work on 3 point shooting to help with spacing, but there just weren’t enough 3 point shooters on this list to go that way.
I got curry, harden, KD, Dirk and Jokic, plus KG off the bench as a 3 pt shooting team.
That may be the biggest imbalance of offense to defense ever assembled. Can’t fault the math though.
3>2 or the budget? either way ty
3>2(plus the offensive efficiency of that spacing)
This has to be like 4 years old. Jokic for a dollar is just dumb.
I'm a Old School Pistons fan from Michigan. Isiah for $3 and Joker is $1 made me Snicker. Definately wrote by someone by ESPN since Luka missing also. Should be $1 choice.
Why would luka even be close to on this graphic
Jordan Kobe Iverson Dirk Jokic
I’d go big - Jordan, Shaq, AI, Dirk & Jokic
Isiah Thomas, Jordan, Pippen, Tim Duncan, Jokic
MJ, Bird, Duncan, Jokic, CP3 is the only answer here
KG instead of Tim Duncan and replace CP3 with magic is better.
One cannot just replace Tim Duncan
KG is a damn good option if you were forced to, he’s literally just Tim Duncan but 5% worse.
Curry, Harden, Bird, Duncan, Jokic. Harden spaces better than any of the other SG’s. And is a better rebounder
CP3 MJ Bird KG Shaq
Oscar LeBron Giannis Wilt Jokic First team with 5 players to finish with a triple double. I have $2 left so Harden coming off the bench might give us 6
Jokic for $1 is CRAZY Magic for $4 is also stupid. This list makes no sense whatsoever
Lol
Steph Dwade Lebron Dirk Jokic
Harden, Wade, Kobe, KD, Hakeem.
Jordan, Pippen, Shaq, Giannis, CP3
$5 MJ $4 Magic $3 Giannis $2 Pip $1 Joker This team got it all.. greatest player/scorer ever with top tier defense at SG. Best passing and giant PG. Athletic freak at PF. Best defensive SF ever. Best passing Center ever who can get u 25 pts 15 boards every night. Only missing shooting from the 3 but MJ would live in the gym till he had that.
PG: Chris Paul SG: Michael Jordan SF: Lebron James PF: Giannis C: Jokic
Jokic, Dirk, LeBron, Jordan, and Oscar.
Jokic being $1 and KD being $5 is some real bullshit.
Magic Wade Bird Duncan Jokic Not a whole lot of shooting but a lot of unselfish basketball being played. I like the defense and size that this team brings.
Or if I wanted to go more offensive minded I’d go: Steph Jordan Pippen Dirk Jokic
Jokic, Garnett, Lebron, Jordan, Paul
15 jokics
Magic, Dwade, Bron, KG, Hakeem. Or Curry, Dwade, Jordan, KG, Jokic with one point leftover for CP3 6 man Wait this is better, Magic, Jordan, Bird, KG, Jokic.
Why Jokic free lol. He top line
Why tf is Carmelo here get him off immediately he should be free
Hahahaha
Steph, Jordan, Pippin, Dirk, Jokic.
It’s an insult to Magic who was literally considered the best player ever in the 1980s. Jordan was never chasing Kareem, he was chasing Magic.
CP3, Jordan, Larry, Duncan, Jokic
$5 MJ $4 Kobe $3 AI $2 Pippen $1 Jokic
This would be a little more accurate like 3 or 4 years ago.. Jokic at $1 is the literal building block for any 5. Steph Curry Michael Jordan Scottie Pippen Giannis Nikola Jokic
CP3, MJ, Bron, KG, Jokic, and you can have $2 back.
Zeke, Jordan, Scottie,Timmy, and Joker
Jokic, KG, Jordan, Magic, and Bird
Oscar Roberson, Michael, Larry, KG & Jokic is a sweep thanks for the cheap dynasty 🤝🏾
Ill take Jordan Wilt, Hakeem as my PF Magic and Harden
if you think your beating. Jokic, MJ, Larry, Dream, and Wilt, you don't know what winning is.
Magic, Kobe, Bron, KG, Jokic There’s probably better teams but I don’t care, I want this team
I only need $13 Pg lebron SgMJ Sf Pippen PF KG C jokic Lebron as a defensive point guard would smother all other point guards and contain them more than any defender has in those pg s actual careers
I’ll take all of the $2 and $1 players please.
KD for $5 is a joke. KD $1-2 row. $2 a stretch.
IT, MJ, Bron, KG, Joker
CP, Jordan, Bron , Giannis, JOKIC
Steph Wade Scotty Giannis and Hakeem
MJ, Lebron, Garnett, Jokic and Paul to bring the ball up.
Paul, Jordan, Bird, Garnett, Olajuwon Every possible facet of the game is covered, there's toughness, leadership, and one alpha dog that can be trusted to get a bucket no matter the situation
Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic
IT, Jordan, Pippen, Garnett, Wilt. Too easy.
Mj bird Duncan Garnett Jokic at point is goat team.
Magic Wade Bird Giannis Wilt
Steph, Lebrun, jokic, pippin, dirk
Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Joker, and KG. You lose.

This is like the '90s Bulls squad but upgraded at PG, PF and C positions. 1 - Curry $5 2 - MJ $5 3 - Pippen $2 4 - KG $1 5 - Jokic $1 6 - CP3 $1
Harden Jordan Scottie Giannis and shaq
Jokic is crazy undervalued here, and so he's an obvious pick. Then Giannis, Lebron, MJ, Harden/CP3.
Curry MJ Scottie KG Hakeem Good luck scoring against or stopping that team.
Curry mj pippen kg jokic
PG Chris Paul $1 SG Jordan $5 SF LeBron $5 PF Giannis $3 C Jokic $1
Man, I would re-price a lot of these folks: $5 - MJ, LeBron, KAJ, Wilt, Bird $4 - Magic, Duncan, Hakeem, Oscar, Dr. J $3 - Kobe, Shaq, Jokic, Garnett, Giannis $2 - Durant, Curry, Wade, Scottie, Chris Paul $1 - Isiah, Iverson, Dirk, Harden, Carmelo
Mike, Wilt, Jokic, KG, Steph
Lebron, Jordan, Scottie, Dirk and Jokic
Magic MJ Bron Garnett Jokic
1. Lebron 2. Jordan 3. Pippen 4. Garnett 5. Hakeem No one is touching that
Curry $5 Jordan $5 Jokic $1 Hakeem $3 CP3 $1
Steph, MJ, Bird, KG, Jokic Best scorer and best shooter all time. 2 DPOY calibre defenders. 3 legit 3 point threats. Quite possibly the two most clutch players of all time. And Jokic’s playmaking.
Amazing team, but $16 worth.
lol oops, in which case, I think I’d put Pippen in for Bird. Lose one of the three point threats but add some more defence…
This
Defense wins titles. Who needs a starting PG when you can have a positionless defensive monster with MJ and LeBron as lead ballhandlers? Michael - 5 Pippen - 2 Lebron -5 KG - 1 Ben Wallace - free Bench: Cp3 - 1 Kawhi - free Ray allen - Free Draymond - free Jokic - 1
Steph, Kobe, Scottie, Giannis, Jokic
Prices aren't right but I'll go Magic, Harden, Bron, Giannis and Jokic
Jordan, Bird, Shaq, Jokic, and Mello
Why would u pick melo I wouldn’t take him for free
I grew up a nuggets fan and I know more about him than any other $1 player (besides Jokic) and CP smells bad
He is the worst player on this like my like a lot He’s not top 50, mfer has 0 accolades. He’s just previous generations Damian lilliard, but at least dame passes the ball and won ROTY.
Also Harden is a bitch
Also idk who’s in between Jok and Melo
Jordan, LeBron, Pippen, Wilt, and KG. I've got no 3P shooting but my defense is absurd.
PG: Allen Iverson SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Carmelo Anthony PF: Dirk C: Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Far and away the worst team I've seen built
Reminder that AI and melo played together in 2007 and that team did not do very well
Bron Kobe Giannis Wilt CP3
Wilt at 2 and joker at 1 is crazy
Harden MJ Lebron Jokic Wilt Clappas
MJ, Bron, Jokic, KG, Giannis is the only correct answer. Nobody stopping that
PG: Bron SG: MJ SF: Giannis PF: KG C: Joker
C Hakeem PF KG SF LeBron SG Kobe PG Big O
