With Curry and Lebron already there's no need for Kobe. I would have somebody like Ray Allen or Klay or even better, 2016 Kawhi instead.

World's defense is questionable to use an euphemism :). I pick team USA even though I'd love team world to win

Team world all want the ball in their hands and their defense is suspect, while team USA fits much better around LeBron's playmaking and have an elite defense. Pretty clear win here for team USA imo.

I don't know why but for some reason it is "a euphemism" not 'an' :-?

Team World has some borderline negatives on defense against an elite offense, I don't think they win this one
