- LeBron-Giannis-Zion vs. Jordan-Kobe-Durant 3-on-3
- "Athletic Freaks" vs. Assassins
- Alternate universe where all 6 players are at their peaks (I guess in Zion's case we'll say he's playing at today's level, instead of trying to figure out where he'll peak)
- Half court, to 21, win by 2, I'll say loser's out because I think it would be too easy for a team to run the table

Who ya got?!

Not even close. Jordan/Kobe/Durant is ridiculous.

one side has a glaring weakness on defense

The Lebron/Zion/Giannis team would just be too physically imposing. Kobe and Jordan just give up too much size and Durant, while having the length, is no match strength wise.

Like how would you even keep prime Lebron/Zion/Giannis from finishing at the rim? They would literally score every trip.

LeBron/Zion/Giannis would bully ball the sh*t out of them

At first, I thought this wasn't even close since one team is way more skilled.. But then actually thinking about it, the other team is much stronger or bigger.

LeBron-Giannis-Zion easily, they would get the offensive rebound every time.

So basically jump shooters vs rim finishers? In a half court scenario I think LBJ-Giannis-Zion will win, they will just post them up and score every trip. In a full court scenario though MJ-Kobe-Durant will have more space to run and gun and most probably win.

Yea, LGZ will crush them.

2's and 1's?

All 1's?

Sort of a key piece of information. The Jordan/Kobe/Durant team is way better from three point range.

Half-court format works to the advantage of the LeBron/Giannis/Zion team.

But, current Zion is by far the worst player in this group.

I think Jordan/Kobe/Durant take it, especially if 3 pointers count for extra.

I am surprised by seeing the poll result, I expected 9:1 mj Kobe KD run away

This is difficult to know since you've paired Lebron with two dudes who haven't even reached their peak yet.

if this is fully formed Zion then LGZ

fortunately for the league Zion is not yet fully formed, he's like SS1, SS2 will be next season, SS4 by 25.

I'll run this in 2K and report back.

I love Zion but he doesn't belong on the court with those guys yet.

Not a fair match up at all because of size. A better match up imo would be Lebron-Giannis-Zion vs Kevin Durant, Kevin Garnett and Shawn Kemp

Why are these the teams?

Should be

Lebron-Kobe-Giannis Vs. Jordan-Durant-Zion

It's basically a skill and finesse vs. power scenario.

I don't know, but I would watch it, that's for sure!
