    Draymond and Durant both commented on his Instagram page to pick them

    not necessarily. no where does it say it was a snake draft order. you're guessing just like anyone else is

    edit: actually it wasn't a snake draft order
    • The picks will alternate until all eight players voted in as starters by the fans, media and players have been selected.

    So? You really think they would approach Curry and get upset? I would have loved to find out and have some drama in Oakland!

    I'm interested to hear why some people think Harden was picked 2nd overall, by Curry. Personally, I would have taken a big, since Harden's game isn't particular flashy for the ASG, you can match LeBron's team (small for small, big for big) and that the dropoff from Harden to someone like Lillard isn't as ridiculous as the dropoff from someone like Cousins to Horford. There are plenty of reserve guards that can score.

    Nitpicking, I know, but I would not have taken Harden / Kyrie / Derozan until I secured 2 bigs.

    Team Lebron = ISO
    Team Curry = Team Balls

    Team balls will beat ISO anytime anywhere because basketball is a TEAM sport.

    Why does everyone assume Giannis was Curry's first pick? Curry has a low-key crush on Harden.

    Maybe the players, besides KD and the media, don't think Giannis is that great.

    he did make it a point to highlight Giannis on his team recently. posted all over social media. not to mention hes an ideal player for a game like this. just from what ive seen. i mean were all pretty much guessing anyway

    Ok, but they may all kill each other in the locker room before the game.

    LeBron should have picked Harden first and broken the internet for a couple hours.

    Ooh, meant Curry's 2nd overall pick.

    To each their own, but I don't think Harden's game is suited for an exhibition game. In a game like this, I'd rather see the play of Giannis and Westbrook over the play of Harden and Horford. And lol thanks for telling me I'm nitpicking, when I already acknowledged it. :rolleyes:

    Who said it? That’s exactly what I thought would be the picks.
