Best Starting Five in NBA history.

[Mikaiel]

You're so wrong on McHale KB42PAH. Even with the team he had around him, he still commanded double teams. I think that tells a lot about what kind of player he was.

[smalls123]

Again showing your stupidity.

Harper= DJ
Jordan>Ainge
Pippen>Bird
Rodman>Mchale
Parish>longely

Bulls have advantage in 4 out of 5 positions

Bird = Defensive liablity, pippen = best deefender in NBA at the time
Rodman = 19 rpg in modern era woudl tear mchale apart.
Jordan = nothing needs to be said.

DJ>Harper
Ainge<Jordan
Bird>Pippen (Its is quite obvious you haven't watched much Bird...lmao)
Mchale>Rodman (Mchale could score on Rodman)
Parish>Longely

It would be a great match-up and I think those Bull teams would beat those Celtics teams.

[Gougou]

Lol 08 celtics is better

[HWN Tommie Style]

I'm not trying to flame bait, or anything like that (disclaimer)

I'm being as serious as I can.................
but KB42PAH, are you 14 years old?

[Nemo75432]

86 celtics and 87 lakers are right up there.

but my personal pick = 96 bulls:

longely
rodman
pippen
jordan
harper

and my pick for most talented but didnt do jack squat: 04 lakers

shaq
malone
whats his face
kobe
payton

hands down '96 bulls. everyone played their roll to near perfection.

and dont be a retard saying "luc longley, he sucks"

[HWN Tommie Style]

But Longley DID suck. If he didn't there wouldn't be the '3-headed center'

C Wilt Chamberlain (2)
PF Kareem Abdur Jabbar (4)
SF Larry Bird (5)
SG Michael Jordan (1)
PG Magic Johnson (3)

That's actually my list of top 5 NBA franchise player(Jabbar at PF might be weird but it makes sense here).

PG: Kobe
SG: Jordan
SF: Lebron
PF: Garnett
C: Shaq

My team would destory your team.

No it doesnt make sense here moron. This thread is about REAL starting fives in NBA history.

You give me proposal any more thought good lookin?

I have to admit I remember watching this line up play. It's pretty good. Defensivley, offensively and in terms of chemistry it was a pretty good line up..

Back on topic:

Would the Pistons'

Chauncey Billups
Richard Hamilton
Tayshaun Prince
Rasheed Wallace
Ben Wallace

be considered one of the best starting fives?

[HWN Tommie Style]

KB, your team is flawed from the beginning, Kobe at PG? seriously? Garnett over Duncan? That might be arguable, but it seems you like more flash then substance, in which whatever teams you name will always be flawed.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Well I didn't look at the first post though. The 86 Celtics, 87 Lakers, 96 Bulls and 04 Lakers are all pretty good. Even the 04 Nets should be considered as a fairly nice team:

C Alonzo Mourning
PF Kenyon Martin
SF Richard Jefferson
SG Kerry Kittles
PG Jason Kidd

Btw, don't call another person Moron when he's apparently way more intelligent than you, the Imbecile.

Yes. 2004 Pistons and 2008 Celtics = top 5 defensive teams.

2004 pistons = 6 allstars (okur is on there too)

[craigthomasb]

remeber when the lakers had payton, malone, shaq and kobe all starting for them, sure they were old as **** but that has to be some of the greatest players of all time starting together
