Best starting 5 of all-time

magic said:
I was randomly thinking about this subject, and a lot of time when people argue who is in their top 5, they just insert who they believe is the best player at each position without really thinking about the team as a whole. Ironically, people will probably do that here too.

Because the game has changed, and the 3 pointer is more valuable than ever, here is my top starting 5 of all-time:

PG: Lebron James
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Larry Bird
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (though I could go with Hakeem here too)

What do people here have as their starting 5?

Your 5 is as good as it gets, 3 pointers or not! Can't see a flaw in any of your choices!

Got news for ya! Clyde Frazier was DRASTICALLY overrated, and he wasn't rated very highly to begin with! Dribbled too much, slow as molasses, not that good of a shot, game was just pathetically flawed! I lived in NY during the last part of his career, and the standing joke was "Frazier must be getting a dollar a dribble the way he dominates the ball and refuses to pass it!"

Stockton or Magic
MJ (or Kobe). I'd go Kobe if MJ is on the other team, because that will unlock Super Saiyan Black Mamba
Bron
Duncan (maybe Garnett)
Hakeem (or Kareem)

It's got passing, rebounding, scoring, D at every position, you name it.

I've always liked this idea:

If I'm doing that, I go Stockton ($2), Kobe ($4), Lebron ($5), Duncan ($3), Hakeem ($1). Mirrors my original team.

Garnett a top 5 ball player? He's not even a top 50 ball player in my book!

And yet when it was announced, he was a top 50 player of all-time.

These are the best players at their position and would be great:
Magic
Jordan
Lebron
Duncan (KG and Malone are close seconds for me)
Wilt (Kareem would be my second choice though since he is probably #2 or #3 on the GOAT list)

Although If I was actually building a team to win it all today of players in their prime I might go

Curry
Jordan
Durant (or Pippen, Both fit well next to stars. But I probably choose Durant for his shooting)
Lebron
Kareem (fits in better than Wilt)

I like your first list with Hakeem in place of wilt. That would be my 5

According to this I’d take.

Stockton
Kobe
Pippen
Malone
Wilt

How is Barkley ranked ahead of Duncan? How is stockton only a 2
 


This video ranks the worst to best all time rosters for each team. Whoever put some of these teams together are idiots.

They have jazz as the ninth best all time team roster
 
Stockton
Curry
Jordan/Rare144
Lebron/Malone
Wilt
