If only this letter from Adam Silver was real.

The Internet is a cruel, cruel mistress. Sometimes you don’t realize what you’re missing in life until it casts out a line and makes you think, “man, that would be awesome.”

Take, for instance, this obviously fake, too good to be true, letter from Adam Silver to a fan that popped up on Reddit.

Can’t you just picture Silver sitting down and parsing some incensed fan’s letter that was all about shipping NBA stars to wreck ISIS?

None of the shitbirds at ISIS have had Durant all up in their shorts when they’re trying to get the ball across half-court so they wouldn’t know which way is up.

That’s gold, Jerry.

Silver seems like too nice of a cat to construct an all-NBA Black Ops squadron to disassemble ISIS. That’s something more out of David Stern’s playbook. So, with that in mind, let’s break down the team that would throttle these damn terrorists.

Kobe, KD and Westbrook are all solid choices. All three have killer instincts and would take no prisoners. Kobe is ruthless. Westbrook goes all out like a man possessed. And then there’s Durant who each year plays with a bigger chip on his shoulder. He’s gonna get his.

LeBron feels like too much of a nice guy to go on this mission. I say we slide Westbrook over to two-guard, bring in Chris Paul and play some badass small ball with the infantry. CP3 is relentless, and right now you have a bunch of 5-star generals with extreme tunnel vision.

Like LeBron, Anthony Davis feels like too much of a nice guy. For the big man, I say we trot out Zach Randolph because he’s one scary mug. Have four quick guys running around all over the place, and then Z-Bo playing the role of B.A. Baracus. Boom!

For a sixth-man, let’s bring in Boogie Cousins – mainly because every team needs a wildcard.

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are a little long in the tooth to be loping through the field anymore, so they can run operations from mission control. Wham bam, operation NBA-during Freedom has saved the world.

This could make for a nice G.I. Joe-style cartoon, right? It worked for the WWF, after all.
