Former NBA Champion Dwight Howard posted a throwback picture on his X account on Friday. The photograph showed some of the former NBA greats who endorsed Adidas. The caption on Howard's post said, "TBT who beating this team."

The Adidas 'superteam' Dwight Howard posted a photo of featured NBA legends Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, Chauncey Billups, Tim Duncan and Howard himself.

Fans were quick to let Howard know what they thought. One user said that Howard's team would be beaten by any team with LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan. The trio are regarded by many as three of the greatest players ever.

Another user suggested adding Stephen Curry and Shaquille O'Neal to the team of James, Bryant and Jordan. A number of users suggested that O'Neal should be on the team:

"Shaq by himself (after he has a shaq-a-roni)," a fan said.
"Maybe Kobe, Shaq, Jordan, Lebron and Bird with AI off the bench," another fan suggested.
"Gimmie Magic, Steph, Bron, Dirk and Shaq," another chimed in.
"Kobe shaq, LeBron, Wade," another added.

There were also other interesting answers to the question:

"The 2004 Argentina Olympic team," a fan suggested.
"Team Nike f***in yall up Bron, MJ, Kobe, Giannis, Wemby, KD," a fan remarked.
