Adidas: James Harden
The Houston Rockets' Mr do-it-all is one of the NBA's most prolific scorers and has earned recognition as the best shooting guard in the NBA. He has earned All-Star nods five times and has earned All-NBA Team honors four times. While playing for the Thunder, he was the Sixth Man of the Year in 2012.

His only weakness is his reluctance to play defense at times.
Nike: Demar DeRozan
The perimeter superstar has among the best footwork in the league. He is a killer with his mid-range jumper and lay up game. He is a very athletic shooting guard that rarely settles for the three-point shot. DeRozan is a three-time All-Star and has been selected once to the All-NBA teams in 2017.
His limited range can be costly when he is required to take the clutch three-point shot.
Jordan: Jimmy Butler
One of the toughest players in the league today, Jimmy was selected with the 30th pick of the 2011 draft. He went on to win the league's Most Improved Player award in 2015. Butler is a three-time NBA All-Star and a three-time NBA All-Defensive Team honoree. He made the cut to his first All-NBA Team honors in 2017.
Questions loom over Butler's desire to do what's best for his team. His decision making can be suspect at times and he should cut down on those jump passes.
