SF; Larry Bird

PF: Bill Russell

Perfect balance of creative scoring, passing and defense. No other 5 could stop this one.

1. Isiah Thomas

2. Scotty Pippen

3. Dr. J

4. Tim Duncan

5. Kareem

Gurantee this team beats your 5. now let the debate begin

[sebasp777]

PG - Derek Fisher / Tony Parker / West

SG - Paul Pierce / MJ

SF - Robert Horry / Toni Kukoc

PF - Dirk Nowitzki / Robert Horry Again cause this monster just scores in the clutch idgaf

C - Timmy Duncan / Jabbar

All I want is clutch. Clutch every where. You clutch? You're ass is signed. Ain't clutch? gtfo idgaf, these fools have hit huge shotskies. So much length too. Almost 21 feet of length up front.

PG- Magic Johnson/ Big O backing up

SG- Michael Jordan/ Kobe backing up

SF- Larry Bird/ Kevin Durant backing up

PF- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/ Charles Barkely backing up

C- Wilt Chamberlain/ Bill Russell backing up

Incredible unselfishness at my starting PG, SF, and C (Wilt once led the league in assists), and my backup PF and PG positions, the unselfish players will distribute the ball to MJ who'll score, Chamberlain will dominate any other center, plus Kareems skyhook. Try to compete if you dare!

[DHaines6]

PG: Magic Johnson

SG: Michael Jordan

SF: Oscar Robertson

PF: Hakeem Olajuwon

C: Wilt Chamberlain

All 5 of these of these guys are all-around players who thrive in all facets of the game, and yet they all specialize in one specific area. Maybe a little undersized in the backcourt with Robertson, but he makes up for it with his incredible rebounding and defensive prowess.

Earl the goat Manigault best ever.

[SharkyNBA]

PG - Magic

SG - Jordan

SF - Bird

PF - Tim Duncan

C - Shaq

That's my best 5. I know Wilt, Hakeem, Russell or Kareem ain't there, I just think Shaq played against better Centre's, and dominated them. But, I wouldn't argue if other people had put those other centres in that team.

[jlqt5]

PG - magic / payton

SG: MJ / big O

SF: larry bird / elgin baylor

PF: bill russell / tim duncan

C: wilt chamberlain / hakeem olajuwon

the bench and the starting 5 both have defensive stops. payton as PG as he was AMAZING at everything for a PG (defense, scoring, rebounds). big O for flexibility. elgin for his underrated rebounding. bird for basketball IQ. timmy as most complete PF. hakeem as a scorer and a defender. the rest is obvious.

some are not THE greatest, but this is the best as a team
