Snubbing Lebron James From Top-5 All-Time, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Hysterically Names 6 Players Including Himself and Kevin Durant

This will rekindle the Goat debate again as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gives his best starting five and does not want LeBron James on that list. It is also funny that he named 4 NBA legends along with Kevin Durant, and also included his name in that mix. Therefore, his starting five will have six NBA players instead of 5. A strange conundrum, which the NBA fans noticed and hilariously trolled.

Will SGA bump off anyone from his list to make it 5 again? And if he does, which of those superstars is going to be cut? NBA fans cannot wait for SGA to respond.

SGA?s best 5 or rather best 6

SGA wants to start with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O?Neal, Allen Iverson, and Kevin Durant. This is his best starting lineup. There are 2 things that are kind of jarring for the fans. One, this list has 6 players, and two, LeBron James does not find a place on this list. Why would SGA do this?

If we take SGA?s list seriously, the coach of this team would be splitting hairs to make it work. From MJ to AI, and of course, Kobe, all want the ball in their hands. Then what would KD and Shaq do, and how are they going to impact the game? And funnily, even SGA needs the ball if he is in the lineup.

One Player who could have made it all work would be LeBron James, but SGA does not want him. The King is the ultimate talent booster who can impact the game without being ball-dominant. However, all the old heads of the media would use that as a dig against him.

This is OKC

SGA is in an excellent spot with his Thunder team. OKC has Chet Holmgren back after a year-long layoff due to injury. This team is brimming with some great young talent. Be it Josh Giddy, Luguentz Dort, or Jalen Williams, OKC has some real firepower. And they have brought in 6.10, Davis Bertans who averages nearly 40% in 3-point percentage to the mix.
