One of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson, has revealed the five players he would choose for his all-time NBA starting lineup.
During an appearance on PlaqueBoyMax's stream, Thompson touched on a variety of basketball topics before putting together a star-studded five featuring several legends he either watched growing up or competed alongside and against during his career.
Thompson includes fellow Splash Brother in all-time five
At point guard, Thompson went with longtime Golden State Warriors teammate Stephen Curry.
The two formed the famous Splash Brothers partnership, winning four NBA championships together and becoming one of the most successful backcourts in league history.
For the shooting guard spot, Thompson chose Kobe Bryant over Michael Jordan. He explained that Bryant held a special place for him because he grew up watching the Lakers legend before eventually getting the opportunity to face him in the NBA.
Thompson selected LeBron James at small forward, highlighting the four-time MVP's remarkable longevity.
Kevin Durant, Thompson's former Warriors teammate, was also among the names he considered, along with Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird, but James ultimately received the nod.
The frontcourt featured two of the most dominant big men in NBA history.
Thompson chose Tim Duncan at power forward, describing the San Antonio Spurs icon as the definition of consistency, before selecting Shaquille O'Neal at center and praising the way his dominance changed the game.
