Kevin Durant says the historical NBA players he’d most want to play with are Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlain

Michael Jordan. LeBron James. Kobe Bryant. All are among the greatest players in NBA history, but none of them were among the two Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant chose when asked which players he’d most want to play with in the history of the NBA.

"It'd probably have to be Wilt Chamberlain, or I'll go Magic Johnson,” Durant said during a YouTube livestream on his channel. “It's a tie between those two. Magic is next level. I'm a huge Magic fan."

Durant wanting to play with a scorer as ball-dominant as Chamberlain was is somewhat of a surprise, but maybe Durant was just trying to be different and/or valuing Chamberlain’s legendary assists away from the court.
