The NBA offseason is in full swing, which means it’s time for players to hop on podcasts and discuss a wide range of topics. The NBA Players Podcast features discussions about their summer, reactions to NBA news and a summer filled with trades, as well as interpretations of the hits.
That’s where the latest podcast featuring Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young comes in. In addition to making waves by declaring that at 6’4″ he would be one of the greatest players of all time, he also laid out a jaw-dropping all-time NBA team.
Young called Bryant “his” Michael Jordan after the hosts rejected the selection. Young’s inclusion on the list was disputed by the hosts, who placed him there in their question. The selection of Bryant over Jordan is the only puzzling—albeit important—move in this context.
Durant has earned the respect of his peers amid a dominant basketball career that was recently showcased on the world stage at the Olympics. However, it’s still possible to argue that Durant played at his best in Oklahoma City, particularly during his MVP season in 2013-14.
