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?

Jokic and Curry easily, because it would take Steph's most terrifying attribute (off ball movement) and synergise it with Jokic's absurd playmaking. To put it a different way, Jokic would be the one of maybe 5 guys in the league who could give Steph wide open looks.

With Giannis, that is also an absurd combination. But you're looking at a bunch of pick and rolls with Giannis as the roll threat. Steph would be playing more like he was under Mark Jackson, rather than Steve Kerr
