If u can choose between giannid or Jokic to play with curry on this year or the 2022 team. I really like both of them with Steph, giannis because he’s dominant inside and is great on defense but Jokic and curry would be 2 of the greatest offensive players ever and I think they would be a better duo than Shaq and Kobe and could potentially threepeat. I think either of these players with Steph would win multiple rings but idk who would be better. What do you guys think?

Steph with Jokic would be a ridiculous offense but it might be a little tough on defense. The nuggets defense is built around hiding Jokic using hedges and show/recover schemes. It works well because they have a lot of size. The warriors defense is built similarly to hide Steph or at least prevent teams hunting him. And Draymond is a defensive savant.

I guess if they had versatile defenders like Draymond alongside them it’d work. Or they’d just score like 200 to 150 lol

They don't actually hide either one. They are trying to keep them out of foul trouble because they are needed to be able to play at the end of the game.

Now when the clutch time comes neither one is bad on defense. They have leveled up their defense to above average but their role is to use their energy to score while the less gifted scorers have to play more defense.
