As soon I read the title I knew this clown was going to put himself on the list. And the sad thing is that the list is pretty legit otherwise.

good list,altho Kawhi and Pippen existed, oh and LeBron, yeah, George. I understand these athletes have self confidence, thats part of the reason why I am not an athlete.

Can't even hate on him for picking himself. You have to believe you're the best and it was just a fun interview they were having

ignoring him putting himself in there, its a great list. A lot of guys who have made the impact at both ends in the most crucial moments of their careers. and you know what if we were a making a a bunch of all two-way teams, he might be on the 5th or 6th team all time in terms of ability.

When someone asked Garnett the same question, they preface it by saying best lineup including yourself

Not that bad. Instead of George I would put either Pippen or Kawhi and I would have KG/Duncan tied.

Makes me wonder how many great 2-way point guards there have been. I’m hesitant to say GP. But it’s LeBron at 3 and Tim Duncan at 4.

Agreed. Only 4 of those players have gotten out of the first round without Pippen.

Not a bad list tbh. PG is one of the best 2 way wings ever imo but Miami LeBron>PG as a 2 way player because that version of Bron was just unfair. Of course I have Kawhi over PG too but not by all that much these days, especially since Kawhi is more focused on scoring than locking down guys these days but 2016-17 Kawhi was scary good 2 way player

I like this other choices though. Duncan or KG would be good choices

I mean, Kawhi is on his own team...

Still, he's not completely out to lunch. He might be a top 5 two way small forward. :wink:

David Robinson, Pippen, Tim Duncan etc.

Players always put themselves on this list. Dominique Wilkins picked himself first overall in the top 75 anniversary draft lol. It doesn't seem like something we should be upset or judgmental about.

While he wouldn't be in my starting 5, I don't think Paul George is that far off. He'd be on the short list at his position.

Other players that come to mind at each position:

1: Kidd, Walt Frazier, Chris Paul, Stockton, Jrue Holiday
2: Jerry West, Manu Ginobili, Wade
3: Pippen, Lebron, Kawhi, Jimmy Butler
4: Giannis, McHale, Anthony Davis, Bobby Jones
5: Duncan, Wilt, David Robinson, Bill Walton

Agree or Disagree
