All Time Bball Starting 5

[jaymaximus]

On Yahoo theyre putting up an all time starting 5 for each team in the NBA. Since I like basketball and lists im pretty into it. Wondering who everyones ALL TIME starting 5 would be.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/blogs/...rting-five--los-angeles-lakers-205035304.html

Mine are:
C: Hakeem Olajawon
PF: Tim Duncan
SF: Bird
SG: Jordan
PG: Stockton

Had a hard time leaving Magic off. But thats about it.

I'd take Magic over Stockton. I'd also try and find a spot for Bill Russel and Wilt Chamberlain.

I just did Stockton because he was the steals leader too.
And I have a soft spot for Olajawon. Mostly because Im a Spurs fan and he abused my favorite player (David Robinson).
Being completely objective Id have to put Russell in. But then I might have to think about Lebron over Bird, and I cant do that.

When I watched BBall I was a Bulls fan. Jordan all the way. I stopped watching not long after he retired

Those Bulls teams were great. I hated them. They were just too good.

Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Kerr, Rodman, etc... They were a very difficult team to beat for sure.

PF. Patrick Ewing
SF Bird
SG magic
PG MJ

Yeah. He even got left off the dream team for laetner. That was a travesty.
I like a traditional pg though. One who passes 1st, then scores.
Isiah is on the same level as iverson for me as PG. More of a short sg. Great players though. And im a huge AI fan.

 

[ROOSTA]

all time....come on

bill russell
Dr.J
MJ
Rodman...regardless of what era he would have dominated period
John Stockton

 

[flexx89]

PG - Magic
SG - Jordan
SF - Lebron
PF - Duncan
C - Shaq


PF is tough..i was in a tear between duncan/barkley/malone/KG but i gotta go with duncan..center is also tough, but shaq would dominate wilt/russell/kareem regardless of era. shaq is a top 5 nba athlete of all time.

 

[Morefyah]

This is so hard!

C) Wilt Chamberlain
PF) Shaquille O'neal
SF) Karl Malone
SG) Michael Jordan
PG) Allen Iverson

Fuck Bird and all the celtics!
So many other greats.
DR. J, Magic, Isiah, Barkley, Dominique,
Reggie Mlller, Kobe.
But I think this team would be pretty intimidating!

Shaq would do what....dominate who in what era....

wilt/kareem and russell....

dude...have you seen those guys stats compared to shaqs....russell would have ran shaq to death ...wilt would have bodied him up and ran him as well...kareem would have played with his head all game

im not talking stats when wilt and bill russell played against 6'8'' centers and there was 15 teams in the league..shaq is twice as strong and bigger than all of those guys...in terms of physical domination there is none second to shaq. no center during his time could cover him one on one. second highest FG% of all time. superman.

Aftet watching the 30 for 30 bad boys on sport center my respect for thomas went up.

Shaq was my second choice. The only reason I left him off was the way Hakeem dominated him in the finals.
Ill admit its harder for me to rank russell and wilt because i never got to watch them play.
