If the OK combination is added to Curry s team, then it is possible to win 82 wins in the regular season.

On June 17, countless amazing duoes have emerged in the history of the NBA, but the "OK combination" - Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant - are undoubtedly the most dominant existence. They led the Los Angeles Lakers to complete three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2002, creating a glorious era of the Purple and Gold Dynasty. And Stephen Curry, the super shooter who has changed his modern basketball style, has become the greatest shooter in NBA history with his unparalleled three-pointer ability. If you put these three players together, imagine the miracle they might have created - the regular season 82 wins and a complete record may no longer be a dream.

First, let's review the terrifying dominance of the "OK combination". At his peak, O'Neal was the most destructive inside giant in the league, and his dominance in the penalty area was unmatched. In the 1999-2000 season, O'Neal averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 57.4%, winning the regular season MVP without any suspense. Kobe also began to make his mark that season, averaging 22.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, showing the potential of a superstar. The two of them have perfect cooperation on the inside and outside. O'Neal attracts double teams in the inside, while Kobe is wandering around the outside to look for opportunities. This tactic is almost impossible to solve. During the three consecutive championships, the Lakers' winning rate in the playoffs was as high as 78.4%, which shows the terribleness of this pair.

And Stephen Curry's addition will completely change the team's offensive dimension. Curry is not only the greatest three-point shooter in history, but also an excellent organizer and master of running without the ball. In the 2015-2016 season, Curry led the Warriors to the second best record of 73 wins and 9 losses per game with averaging 30.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists, and was elected as the MVP unanimously. That season, he scored a record 402 three-pointers and shot 45.4% from three-pointers. Curry's presence will force the defense to expand its defense line outside the three-point line, which creates more room for O'Neal's singles in the interior. At the same time, Curry's ability to run without the ball can be perfectly combined with Kobe's ball-holding offense, forming a multi-level offensive system.

From a tactical perspective, this "OKC combination" (O'Neal, Kobe, Curry) has almost no weaknesses. On the offensive end, they can play a variety of tactics: when O'Neal is in the inside, Curry and Kobe on the outside are both deadly pitchers; when the opponent doubles over O'Neal, Curry's quick pass and Kobe's breakthrough can easily tear the defense; and when Curry holds the ball, O'Neal's pick-and-roll quality and Kobe's empty cut are both top-level levels. What's even more terrifying is that all three of them have excellent key ball abilities, and at the last moment of the game, the opponent simply cannot choose who to quit. On the defensive end, although Curry's defense is relatively weak, Kobe is the top outside defender who was selected as the best defensive team in 9 times, while O'Neal is the three-time blocking king, and they can make up for Curry's defensive shortcomings.

From a data perspective, this team's offensive efficiency may hit an all-time high. Taking the Lakers' offensive efficiency (108.3) in the 2000-2001 season and the Warriors' offensive efficiency (114.5) in the 2015-2016 season as reference, the offensive efficiency of this "OKC combination" may reach an astonishing 118 or more. Considering that the three players can contribute about 82 points per game (O'Neal 30 points, Kobe 25 points, Curry 27 points), coupled with the contribution of role players, this team may average 125 points per game. On the defensive end, although the speed-up may affect defensive efficiency, with Kobe and O'Neal in charge, their defensive efficiency may still remain in the top five in the league.

Judging from the team's chemistry, although these three are superstars, their respective characteristics can complement each other. O'Neal needs a lot of inside space, and Curry's outside threat can open up space for him; Kobe likes to attack with the ball, while Curry is good at running without the ball; Curry needs cover from his teammates, and O'Neal's pick-and-roll quality is top-notch in history. More importantly, all three have a strong desire to win and professional spirit, which can largely avoid the common ball rights distribution problems of super teams. Of course, Kobe's personality may have some friction with O'Neal, but Curry's modest character may become a lubricant for team harmony.

From a historical comparison, this "OKC group" may surpass all known super teams. Compared with the Bulls, which won 72 in 1996, they have stronger dominance in the inside line; compared with the Warriors in 2017, they have more balanced internal and external line configurations; even compared with the Showtime Lakers in the 1980s, their offensive firepower may be more terrifying. Against the backdrop of modern basketball emphasizing space and rhythm, this team can play both traditional inside-out (from the inside out) and modern small ball tactics, which can adapt to almost any defensive strategy.

Of course, the record of 82 wins is still a huge challenge, even for this super team. The NBA season is long, and injuries, fatigue, referee factors, etc. will affect the results of the game. But it is undeniable that this team, composed of "OK combination" and Curry, may create a more shocking regular season performance than the 72-winning Bulls and 73-winning Warriors. They can not only dominate the regular season, but will also be invincible in the playoffs, and are likely to create a miracle of winning the playoffs.

From the perspective of basketball development, the emergence of such a team will completely change the league's pattern. Other teams will have to rethink their team building strategies, which may accelerate the formation of super teams and may also prompt the league to modify rules to balance competition. But no matter what, the "OKC combination" will become the most dominant trio in NBA history, and their games will redefine the possibilities of basketball..

To sum up, combining "OK combination" with Curry can indeed create an unprecedented super team. Their offense will be unstoppable, their defense will be solid enough, and the team chemistry is expected to remain good. Although the record of 82 wins and all-winning still faces many challenges, this team is indeed terrible and is likely to break multiple NBA records and become one of the greatest "assumed teams" in basketball history. ‌
