00:00Who'd win in a seven-game series? This year's Thunder team or the 2016 Cavaliers?

00:05For me, I'm taking the 2016 Cavaliers. That's LeBron at his peak powers.

00:10We got Kyrie, Kevin Love all on that team. Give me the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers.

00:15I don't think the Thunder have an answer for peak LeBron. Give me the Cavs.

00:19Yeah, I'm going peak LeBron and Kyrie over SGA and JLW.

00:242001 Lakers.

00:25Give me the Thunder this year. I think that every time Shaq gets the ball entered to him in the post, someone's stripping him.

00:34I'm taking the Lakers. I think Shaq would eat Chet Holmgren and Hartenstein and whoever they put at him for breakfast.

00:392011 Dallas Mavericks.

00:42I think the Thunder's age and speed would tire out the old Mavs team that was from that year, so give me the Thunder.

00:48I'm leaning Thunder here. I think that Dirk matches up well with them, but ultimately they just have too much firepower.

00:55I'm taking the Mavs. I think if you could beat the LeBron James big three in Miami, you could beat almost anybody.

01:02How about the 2012 Thunder?

01:04Give me the current Thunder here. That 2012 team was relying heavily on players like Tavo Cephalosha and Kendrick Perkins,

01:11people who probably shouldn't be seeing the court this year, so give me the current Thunder.

01:16I'm also taking the current Thunder. I think they would force that young Thunder team into a ton of mistakes.

01:22I like the core of the 2012 Thunder better, but the depth of this team would just outplay them.

01:28Give me the 2025 Thunder.
