NBA players have been playing pickup games all summer. Sometimes they play against other NBA players, sometimes they play against whoever else is at the gym. Most recently, LeBron decided to hoop with some guys at UCLA. Which was a game he actually lost to LiAngelo Ball!

It got us wondering if you could play pickup with any NBA player, who are you taking?
You all could have easily answered with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry. But you’re better than that. You’re so much better than that.
The “NBA’s Best Alter Egos” category
China Klay actually wasn’t all that good at basketball, but he was the most fun Klay we’ve ever seen, so this counts.
The “Never be afraid to shoot your shot” category
J.R. Smith has now made it in two categories, which I believe crowns him as best pickup teammate.
The “You may not realize they’re even NBA players” category
The “One-offs that were too good not to include” category
Let us know in the comments who you want on your pickup team!
