65 games matters because the borderline stars are gonna play more to get that spot, forcing the actual star players to play more than 65. Like the guard spot this year

[@erwindavid2859]

​@Turdy Birdie It would still hurt their Averages per game. Also like Lebron, he has a 10+ points per game streak, he would not want to lose that. Those check in and check out would be ok to bench players but for MVP candidates, it would hurt their averages. So they will definitely play still.

[@jehushaphat]

Embiid is a center. Let's stop being ridiculous, Brou. And Taytum is a forward.

[@thrawncaedusl717]

Both of the second team forwards are more guards than Tatum is… Having brown as forward while Tatum is guard is absolute nonsense.

Demarcus Cousins is right. Jokic winning three in a row puts him in Goat conversation and he hasn’t won anything.

Well done Brou!!

[@jonathonfulmore7097]

This segment was too short

[@richatlarge462]

It would be interesting to put together a first team that would actually be the best true team on the court, with all positions covered. Whereas Giannis, Embiid, and Jokic on the floor at the same time is not practical. When healthy, the following five would be the most dangerous team in my opinion: 1. Steph 2. KD 3. Embiid 4. Giannis 5. Tatum I don't see any other 5 guys beating this lineup. Perfect combination of outside shooting, slashers, paint threat, and rim protector. Steph can be maybe beaten off the ball by another point guard, but would have plenty of long help. Replacing any one of those guys with any one of Jokic, Mitchell, SGA, Luka, LeBron, Brown, Booker, Fox, Sabonis, Kawhi, or Morant would not be an improvement to that lineup, though it would make an incredible full roster.
