Wow, I realize this is free agency time but 4-8 years ago this topic would have already been 3 pages deep.
I guess the NBA Forum should be renamed Jordan/Lebron/Kobe Forum. I wonder if Jeff moved all topics related to those 3 players it would have more traffic than the NBA forum?

Ok, so free agency frenzy has slowed down. Maybe now this can be a debatable topic

As good as LeBron is, gotta go with the Olympic team here.
Irving owns Curry, Durant owns Leonard, Dray can contain LeBron, and Cousins shits on Howard. Durant, Klay, Irving, and Lowry can splash 3's like crazy. Not to mention a better bench. Team USA takes it.

Trust the process.
Re: 2016 US Olympic Team vs The Rest of the Best of the US
Non-Olympic team no doubt.
You're not beating Curry/Harden/Kawhi/Lebron/(AD/Howard)
Olympic team doesn't have enough scoring to keep up with that.

Strictly as scorers:
Curry>Kyrie
Harden>Klay
Kawhi<Durant
Lebron>Carmelo
AD=Cousins
Not to mention off the bench:
Westbrook/CP3/Aldridge/Griffin>PG13/Dray/Butler/Lowry
Get over it.

Get over what? Kyrie, Klay, Durant, and Melo are all great shooters. And if you swap Melo for Dray, you got another great shooter with DPOY type defense.
We've already seen a Kyrie/Curry match-up in games that matter... Irving embarrassed him
Team USA has better shooting AND better ISO play AND better two-way players
You're blind if you can't see why'd they win.

I'll give you better iOS/shooters, although the gap is small, if there even is one.
But better two way players?
Kyrie and Curry are both average defenders.
Klay>>Harden
Durant<<Kawhi
Melo<<Lebron
Cousins<AD
Non-team USA has too many weapons on both sides of the court. With Lebron playing point forward and Curry, Harden, and Kawhi spreading it'd be too much.
This isn't even accounting bench support which would include Lowry, Derozan, Barnes...

Good on him for trying to debate it, I guess...
