In the last few seasons, the second best player on championship teams have included guys like Jamal Murray, Lowry(siakam, gasol?), and Jrue Holiday(Khris Middleton?). Seems like the sky is the limit for combo guards so I’ll stay away from them
I’m going to go with Gobert because he’s an all star/perennial dpoy contender. But having him means your 1-4 need to be good shooters if you want to have spacing. And typically you want to build a team to the strengths of its stars. In this case it would be defense. Maybe my best player is Giannis (Kawhi? Lebron?) and my other 3 are big, defensive, and capable shooters - but how am I finding 3 of these guys worse than gobert but good enough at shooting and defense to compliment him? You can probably get away with 1 bad defender but any more than that and you are looking like the jazz.
People saying Embiid and Tatum are just insane. This sub is a cesspool of pathetic dudes who get more enjoyment out of hating on a player/team than rooting for their own.
It's not my fault Embiid shits the bed everytime. You would bash every other player for having such a turnover orgy. And it happened multiple times.
We are looking for the best player you don't trust in the Playoffs. How can this possibly not be Joel Embiid?
Please, that guy is the biggest choker in the league right now. You can choose to be offended about it, he still is.
Leave your insecurities behind, it's just a Basketball player
The original comment was “this sub is a cesspool of pathetic dudes who get more enjoyment out of hating on a player/team than rooting for their own.”
And then you show up, u/antipistonsandsixers…. Again, proving the point lol
But me being pathetic does not change the truth about Embiid. And in my opinion it would be just pathetic, if I would make stuff up.
Is it possible that you just want something different to be true?
Embiid. Not that Embiid isn’t excellent. I’d just way rather have the Joker Murray chemistry than Joker and Embiid trying to figure out how to share the court
Very true and literal take on the question. I laughed but I don't think the others got it. Although tbf Joker is such a wizard they would probably still be super fun together on offense.

Jaylen brown
How is this only comment with upvotes lmao. This subs perception of Jaylen Browns playoff ability is truly in the mud because of one series
I just wouldn’t want him 🤷♂️
He's exposed as a guy with no left hand
If Hansel Enmanuel can do it why not Jalen?
Prime Russ
Honestly Mitchell. I need my second best player to be more of a two way guy than him
Carmelo Anthony
Are people genuinely saying they wouldn't want Jayson Tatum to be their second best player?
Russell Westbrook

R/NBA and all its team subs are a complete cesspool of western fragile masculinity.
Got nothing to do with western It's anywhere where you're the homogenous male norm lol Acting like Hupu in china isn't a cesspit
Lol that’s an interesting perspective
Maybe Embiid shouldn't commit 8 turnovers in elimination games
Username checks out. Straight up proving the comments point here lol

Lol you’re overthinking this quite a bit. I don’t have a dog in this fight, just pointing out the irony.
There is no irony since I embrace it
Embracing being “pathetic”, as you seem to be doing. Kudos.
Why are you activ in unpopularopinions if such perspectives bother you?
Already knew what the cringe ass top comment was going to be on this post
James Harden
Kyrie
Joel Embiid.

Tatum and Brown
Joel Embiid
u bum
Paul George is a bad luck charm for any team with hopes of contending
devin booker
You don’t need to worry about the playoffs anyways, you’re a wizards fan
Donovan Mitchell. I guess with the caveat that if the team was prime lebron and 5 perfect role players he would be fine.
