If Larry Legend(my other top 3) had somehow found his way into this, my head would've exploded. Luka's way of dictating the pace of the game is phemonal and that smooth-ass shot of his is something else. He and Curry, would be interesting to see on a team together the amount of handles and shot combinations resulting from coordinated efforts, between those two high-IQ-having monsters, would be insane. F**k it, make Bird their coach, with that much brains in the game they would inadvertantly cure cancer by the half while they were cooking the oppposition.
