“I’m excited to watch Brooklyn play every night. They’re must-see TV. Any time you have three players of the skill level of Durant, Harden, and also Kyrie, they’re fun to watch individually, and then when you put them together collectively, not only is their skill level exciting, but also the brainpower they bring to the game.”

Thomas added that the three players are always the subject of defensive schemes of the teams trying to stop them. However, the three of them consistently find a way to overcome the other team’s plans. Thomas brought up his own example, and how teams would prepare to face him.

He added, “Every defensive team, every defensive opponent is designed to stop a Durant or an Irving or a Harden. What these players have been able to do over a period of years is be able to outwit the defense every single time… Whenever I went into a game, you knew you were going up against a defensive team that was designed to stop you.” 

KD, Kyrie, and Harden can beat anyone

Thomas believes that three will be an excellent trio in the NBA. He believes that their collective talent and basketball IQ will be too much for teams to try to stop them. For Thomas, his excitement for the new Brooklyn trio is palpable because them playing together will be a tough task for teams to stop.

Thomas added, “These three guys know how to score but intellectually they understand how to read and break down every defense that has been designed to stop them. So having those three collectively out on the floor will be impressive, not just from a skill standpoint but also from how defensive schemes will try to stop them, and how they will try to counteract that with their basketball IQ.”
