The championship is on the line today. You have 7 games to win and your life depends on it.

No injuries. Who are you taking?

Well, the title/poll question and the post question aren't exactly the same, but I'll go with Haliburton and Mobley either way.

A great passing/shooting PG paired with a two-way, mobile PF makes a lot of sense.

The old guys are just too old now.

I don't get the inclusion of Hali here. I mean he's already supposed to miss the entire next season afaik and no one knows what he'll be like when he returns. So if the whole thing of this thread is right now why even bother putting him in if we have to act like his injury never happened?

He was just healthy. Hows it any different than comparing new and old players.

I wanted to know what people think are the best player amongst active players

Because the whole theme of your post was right now and we all know that right now Hali can't play and is coming back from a major injury.

I hear you. I was speaking hypothetically if everyone was healthy now. Nothing deep.

Hey if everyone is fully healthy, all those little nagging old age things in your feet, knees, back, and hands go away!

LeBron, Kawhi, and Durant drink from the fountain of youth and dominate this list.

I'll take a dark horse and say Booker. Really, really good player on both ends when motivated. Possibly the most competitive guy on the list.

3 level scorer, dynamic passer. Booker really grew on me when he played with CP3. He has a lot of substance to his game and is pretty complete as a guard.

Under this exact criteria I don't know why more people aren't picking Kawhi. Still putting up elite numbers in the postseason after all that load management.

Because I voted before reading the top post of “no injuries”

I hope that he can stay health next year, again.

I still wonder how the Clippers would have done against the Thunder.

You are certainly in the minority with Book. You feel this is his peak?
