What would a basketball team made up of characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe look like?

When the Golden State Warriors face the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, there will be plenty of star power on the court -- and on the broadcast. Monday's game will feature a first-of-its-kind Marvel-themed presentation on ESPN2, ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes, with iconic Marvel characters Iron Man and Black Panther selecting players from each team to help fend off an impending threat.

But what if the situation was reversed? What if Warriors GM Bob Myers and Pelicans GM David Griffin had to draft characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to help fend off the impending threat of missing the NBA's play-in tournament -- where the Pelicans are currently three games behind the Warriors as they fight for the final spot.
