"Former Lakers center excludes LeBron James and Anthony Davis from his ideal starting 5, sparking debate"

Former Los Angeles Lakers center DeAndre Jordan omitted LeBron James and Anthony Davis from his starting five of best teammates ever, instead choosing Dirk Nowitzki, Blake Griffin, Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving. Jordan, now with the Denver Nuggets, had a strong preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers but ultimately lost.
