Give me your all time Starting 5 plus 1.

[bruce76]

I'm bored here at work. So I figured what the hell....Who is your all-time starting 5, and who is your 6th man? Please also consider chemistry. Ie- I would never put MJ and Kobe on the same team, cause I think there would be severe alpha male issues, but hey....that's just me. Anyways here is mine.....

Point Guard- Magic Johnson
Shooting Guard- Michael Jordan
Small Forward- Lebron James
Power Forward- Tim Duncan
Center- Akeem Olajuwon

6th Man- Larry Bird

I defy you to beat that!

I'll take this one, swap Bird and Lebron, bring Lebron off the bench because of versatility

[Drdduet]

Magic
MJ
Lebron
Shaq
Bill Russell

Kobe

Russell would have to play forward.

[Norcalcardz]

Curry
Jordan
LeBron

It laughable people have curry over magic and Stockton and other HOF PGs, but whatever who am I to say everyone has there own opinions.

[Doublexthebeast]

PG- Stockton
SG- Jordan
SF/SG- Kobe
PF- Duncan
C- Shaq

6th Man- Lebron

[bkcardcollector]

kareem!! we are all forgeting about...

Then I like 4 all around defense/offense/assists/points/rebs

The consensus:

Magic
Lebron
Oscar

Can all play 1-4

than MJ..of course. going a little small ball.

or take any dream team should get the job done.

[WillC]

Considering that Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history by a mile, and the fact he plays for the team with the best regular season record in NBA history, then it's really not that surprising/laughable, is it?

That said, I'd take Magic, Oscar and Stockton over Curry.... until he's maintained this level of play for another 5 years or so.

[bkcardcollector]

forgot about the 6th almost gotta go with Hondo but I need more size so lets go with Timmy "Off the Glass" Duncan or KG for his defense.

[exoticprince]

Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Lebron James
Karl Malone
Shaquille O'neal

6th man Larry Bird

Good luck beating this team lol

[WillC]

Magic Johnson

Lebron James

Why Malone over, say, Duncan? Or Garnett? Surely their defense would fit in better?

Great team otherwise though.

I'm not a huge Malone fan lol

[pistonsfan]

Magic Johnson/Michael Jordan/LeBron James/Tim Duncan/Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

6th. Larry Bird

[exoticprince]

I'm not a huge Malone fan lol

It's funny cuz I couldn't choose between Duncan and Malone I could literally go with either one. Malone was just a beast, and with him and Shaq in the front court no ones getting through. I know they played a year together but that doesn't count as Malone was on the way out

[Archangel1775]

PG: Stephen Curry (Homer pick!)
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Wilt Chamberlain (Just cause!)
C: Shaquille O'Neal

6th Man: Hakeem Olajuwon!(I changed my mind!)

No it is still and record mean $hit without th ring. But it people opinions it don't matter. Also a guy who has more turnovers then assist in the NBA finals is gunna be your all time PG really lol nice pick but whatever.

Going with a balanced team with a limited roster(6) makes more sense than simply stacking with the best players of all time at each position. Either way, I'm pretty sure if Finals results were the determining factor, Stockton would already be ranked behind Curry. For me it was a toss up between Stockton and Curry. I went with the 3 point threat and well, I'm a Warriors fan.

You cry a lot

[mr10pin]

PG - Oscar Robertson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - LeBron James
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Bill Russell

6th - Wilt Chamberlain

If I could put players wherever I wanted, I'd probably put Russell at the 4 and Wilt at the starting 5. Then, I'd probably look at Jerry West or Duncan as my 6th.

[the mesiah]

C-Wilt
PF-Timmy
SF-Bird
SG-Jordan
PG-Earvin

6th Man-Lew

[bruce76]

I totally understand why some people chose to put Curry and Shaq on their line ups. With both those guys, you basically have witnessed as great as it gets. Could you imagine how many open shots Curry would have? and Shaq, there was a period there, where he was like Mike Tyson was in boxing. if he was within 6 feet of the rim, automatic 2 points.

[aro13]

C - Abdul-Jabbar
F - Russell
F- Bird
G - Jordan
G - Magic

6th man - Duncan


Russell will switch to forward with Kareem at center. You would have the best passing guard, forward and center of all-time.

[sotexcollector]

C- Olajuwon
PF-Charles Barkley
SF-Lebron James
SG-Paul George
G-Kobe Bryant

He is Unstoppable at point... he could guard Anyone... then His Unselfishness is perfect since he is more Magic Johnson type of player than Michael Jordan.

Kareem off the bench.

[bigcwd2000]

This is hard narrowing it down to just 6 players but I would probably go with this:

PG - Magic Johnson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - LeBron James
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Bill Russell

6th - Wilt Chamberlain

[NewVintageNY]

Positions aren't needed. Bird will provide some spacing. LeBron and Magic can pass lights out. MJ and Wilt will score. Sick defense.

1. Magic
2. MJ
3. Bird
4. LeBron
5. Wilt

6th Man - Kareem

[dwest13cavs]

1. Magic
2. MJ
3. Lebron
4. Rodman
5. Shaq

6th Man - Steph Curry


You always need a shooter...and most players from the 80s and before won't have the skill set to defend from the 3 point line :)

[Quigley24]

PG: Oscar Robertson
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Tim Duncan
C: Wilt Chamberlain

6: Lebron James

Went with the big O to help spread the court, and PF was really a toss up between KG, Duncan, or Dirk for spacing. Went with Lebron at 6 since he's the king of versatility. Just can't do that with a Kobe or Kareem

[dbird3312]

Just thought I'd give this a bump. I'd love to see more starting 5s

Vitali potapinko

No guard line up all 4s 5s. :)
Thanks op this was fun.

[rdleifriaf]

If I want to win one game, for chemistry reasons...

PG Stockton
SG Jordan
SF Pippen
PF Malone
C Wilt
6th LeBron

A couple of proven 1-2 punches with a couple of dominant unselfish players that can play multiple positions.

Out of the players I've seen, I agree with that team.

All time, the only change I'd make is replacing Olajuwon with Wilt.

Are we talking about top 5 Shaqtin a fool? LOL. JK. Anyways I will personal state, if the top 5 are in their prime there will be serious chemistry on the court. Main reason is because they're ego maniacs! Hard to win games if there is too many who will claim themselves as alphas.
