I'll go first...

First 5
PG - Magic Johnson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - Larry Bird
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Hakeem Olajuwon

Second 5
PG - Oscar Robertson
SG - Kobe Bryant
SF - Elgin Baylor
PF - Kevin Garnett
C - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar


Your turn.
 
PG - Pete Maravich

SG - Michael Jordan

SF - Larry Bird

C - Kareem Abdul Jabbar

PF - Tim Duncan
 
Something you have to think about at center: no one was as dominant as Shaq but more importantly was his passing ability.

You build a basketball team around Magic Johnson.
 
Almost the same except you missed one key player. Lebron.

First 5
PG - Magic Johnson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - Lebron James
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Hakeem Olajuwon

Second 5
PG - Steph Curry
SG - Kobe Bryant
SF - Larry Bird
PF - Kevin Garnett
C - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

This is just the greatest though, if we are talking fit I am going a completely different direction bc this team is unstoppable.

You put shooters around MJ and Lebron with Hakeem (or Kareem).

PG - Steph
SG - MJ
SF - KD
PF - Lebron
C - Hakeem

PG - Magic
SG - MJ
SF - Bird
PF - The Mailman
C - The Big Fella

The only one that's even debatable is Timmy instead of The Mailman. The others? Not. Even. Close.

I like Shaq quite a bit but...

Hakeem > Shaq


Oh and Dirk > Mailman
 
Fundamentally maybe. But even if you concede that, Shaq is the most dominant center ever. If you slid Hakeem to PF in this lineup, wow!

I heard that Shaq wore a ball gag when he went to visit Wilt on his deathbed :wink:
 
Even uttering Garnett in a greatest starting lineup ever thread is sacrilege but I’ll leave this thread forever if anyone mentions McGrady.
