Closest thing would be Crosby, Mackinnon and McDavid after winning Gold in 2026

Another good one that's gonna be equally crazy is when Drai (Germany), McDavid (Canada), Matthews (USA), Nylander (Sweden) win the cup on the Leafs.

Todays hockey?

There ain’t one, because the NHL has been a greed factory depriving the world of best-on-best international hockey.

For those not watching basketball and the NBA, they're just 3 dudes playing basketball. Just like for those not watching the NHL, NHL players will be just a bunch playing hockey.

Two organizations can be greedy

Well LeBron and Curry would be Crosby and Ovi, so maybe

Crosby/LeBron = best all around player of a generation/face of the league. Most hyped prospects ever arguably.

Ovi/Curry = best shooters of all time, co face of the league.

I gotta give KD Malkin. Big and skilled, most naturally gifted , played in the shadow of Crosby/Curry.


So I think the closest would be those 3, obviously that could never happen because Crosby isn't Russian.


Closest that could happen I guess would be Crosby/McDavid/MacKinnon. Although all 3 of those NBA players played in the same generation unlike McDavid and MackInnon who came 8 and 10 years after Crosby.

Are we pretending that the Basketball tourney in the Olympics is actually worthy of anything noteworthy?

Worthy enough for you to comment in here. If you didn’t care, you would have ignored the thread.

There is no current equivalent. McDavid is the "face of the league" and current best player (I think that's pretty much no longer debatable at this point), and he's never represented his country at a major tournament. Same with other stars of this generation like MacKinnon, Mathews, etc.. The closest they got was a mixed Team North America (youngstars) in 2016 - and that group failed to Medal.

Hobbies I enjoy are awesome. Hobbies other people enjoy are terrible.

The US owned teams didn't even allow most of the top Canadian players to join, so yeah, Basketball is pretty f***ing lame mate.
