I'm going full Derka here. I'm sure @Derka will like to submit his lineup. 

The spaceship lands. They tell you that they have a team full of ballers that is ready to take you out. You don't know anything other than the fact that everyone on their team is within the confines of human size and athleticism and general basketball skill. 

International rules. Your team gets two weeks of prep then they get thrown into the tourney. Pick whatever coaching staff you want. 

For this exercise you get to pick each player at their absolute peak. It doesn't have to coincide with an Olynpic year. But you have to pick a season. 

I'm going:

2022 Steph Curry

1993 Michael Jordan

2021 Kevin Durant

2018 LeBron James

2020 Anthony Davis

Do you really want to expose these poor aliens to our endless MJ v. LeBron hot takes?
