Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander mined from some unexpected sources when he constructed his ideal player.

In a video shared by FIBA, Gilgeous-Alexander said his player would have Kobe Bryant's scoring ability, LeBron James' athleticism and Chris Paul's on-court intelligence. Considering all three are either in the Hall of Fame or destined to get there, they're obvious names to list off.

However, Gilgeous-Alexander cited Andrew Nembhard for the passing category and Lu Dort for defense.

The two-time All-Star is nothing if not loyal to his teammates.
