James Harden risks offending Kevin Durant

In an interview, James Harden had to make a difficult decision. The former MVP has a distinguished 14-year NBA career to date. Numerous game luminaries have been witnessed, played with, and faced off against by him. The Beard has experienced it all, whether it was playing pick-up basketball with Kobe Bryant or competing against LeBron James in the Finals.

We can see Harden responding to his selection on the NBA's "ultimate 5" in a video that is making the rounds on Instagram. Despite the fact that this is an old question, NBA players have always perspired when they hear the response. Given the quality in the NBA, selecting an ideal starting lineup is never simple.

LeBron James is the first choice for Harden among his top 5. He chooses the greats Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan for shooting guard and small forward, respectively. He chooses Tim Duncan as his power forward and Shaquille O'Neal as his centre. This is without a doubt the most illustrious top 5 selection made by anyone. It includes all of the finest athletes to ever compete in the sport. Kevin Durant is one player Harden most likely didn't include.

The Beard and Slim Reaper share a long history

Together, Harden and Durant were members of the Brooklyn Nets and the Oklahoma City Thunder, two separate clubs. The pair managed to make the playoffs together while playing for both clubs, but they were never able to share the championship. In 2012, they too enjoyed a successful Finals run with the Thunder. However, the team had to deal with LeBron James' retaliation campaign and the Miami Heat, who won the title by winning the series in five games.
