    Default Your three favorite players not on the team you root for

    Not best players. Just the ones you love watching the most despite them being on other teams. In order if you can. For me:


    1) Joel Embiid
    2) Nikola Jokic
    3) Luka Doncic

    As players? Not as people, right? Just as players? I don't really have a team any longer but if you throw out the Magic and throw out the Sixers... then...

    LeBron James
    Stephen Curry
    Klay Thompson

    Ersan Ilyasova is probably 4th.

    Yeah. Just guys you love watching while on the court.

    I'm torn between Embiid and Jokic. Embiid takes way too many threes which I hate. But ill-advised shots and turnovers aside, I love his moves. And Jokic... I just enjoy him not being athletic at all just casually jogging all game... and still making the right plays. A bit more defense would be appreciated... but I like him. (And I know there is a war going on as far as Embiid and Jokic supporters are concerned. But I like both.) Kawhi... sure but he is a bit robotic. And Curry... I think I just got used to him. Doncic could become something special. Has a nice balance of skill, emotion, cluthcness, passing, pressure shots... It's hard to name three.

    Default Re: Your three favorite players not on the team you root for

    I dont have a team. I just root for the team with the best or most euros, which is currently Mavs.

    Even so, the players I enjoy to watch simply because of their skill:

    Kawhi
    Durant
    Jokic

    It's a very small group honestly. I'd probably want to watch Curry on a worse team, where he had to hustle more, but on GSW, it's just not really entertaining.

    Other than those 3, I don't really find most players "must watch". I like how Doncic plays, he makes "wow" plays like those 3 above.

    WB - used to hate him until the hate he got became too much. He is a highly flawed and arrogant player but you can never question him for passion and effort in a game. He simply wants it TOO much and that adversely affects his game.

    Dame - closest player to Steph

    Embiid - I love his antics. He'll need to back it up with some hardware (regular season or playoffs) soon otherwise people are going to turn on him as obnoxious.

    Giannis - Could be interchanged with Embiid - Both are African!
