What would be the best NBA starting five & coach of all time?

This is always a fun question. Players can be out of position. Backups are optional.



Here's mine:



PG - Magic Johnson



SG - Kobe Bryant



SF - LeBron James



PF - Wilt Chamberlain



C - Shaquille O'Neal



Backups: Larry Bird, Michael Jordon, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Bill Russell, Kareem-Abdul-Jabar, Oscar Robertson.



Coach: Phil Jackson.



Can you come up with a better team?

haha~~how about YAO?



i'm chinese
LeBron James should not be on anyone's top list simply because he hasn't been around long enough to put up consistent stats over a career. And Shaquille is hardly the best center ever. The best for his time, but not the best ever.
Coach- Phil Jackson



PG- Magic Johnson



SG- Michael Jordan



SF- Larry Bird



PF- Bill Russell



C- Wilt Chamberline



This is the team I've used over and over again and no one can argue with these men's talents and scoring abilities. Along with that, their defense would be unrivaled with any other team that one can think of.
C- WILT CHAMBERLIN

Shaq-Chamberlin



Hakeem the Dream-Duncan



Bryant-Bird



Jordan-Iverson



Magic-Stockton



Thomas, Pippen, and Reggie Miller



Coach: Pat Riley



There is no way a team could beat a team that had Jordan, Iveson, or Bryant taking it to the basket with the option to kick it out to either Miller or Bird with 4 of the best big men ever in the paint. The other team couldn't defend or score. In fact it's hard to beat a team that has 2 great big men period which rarely happens except like in San Antonio. Imagine 4 Big Men. 4 Big Men would grab every rebound that the other team missed. Any NBA team in their right mind would start 2 dominant centers if it were possible. If there were enough 7 footers around you would see the Center and PF positiion more interchangeble than it is. Just imagine if Jordan played wit the twin towers.
PG - Magic Johnson



SG - Michael Jordan



SF - Larry Bird



PF - Wilt Chamberlain



C - Bill Russell



Points? These guys can score more than a hundred by themselves? Rebounds? All 5 can get double digits in a game. Assists? These people all know how to pass the ball. Blocks? Anybody got a better match-up on the Bill-Wilt combo? Steals? Jordan and Russell are two of the best defensive players, with Jordan handling all 3 small positions and Russell defending any type of big man. You want offense? Magic at point with Bird and Jordan at the wings, and Wilt dominating the inside. You want defense? Interior will never be a problem with Bill at the slot. Phil Jackson, the Zen Master would just have to lie back and relax. Oh, I can probably go on all day with these 5 guys..
PG: Magic Johnson/Isiah Thomas/Oscar Robertson

Yes.



PG - Magic Johnson



SG - Michael Jordan



SF - Larry Bird



PF - Hakeem Olajuwon



C - Shaquille O'Neal



Coach: Phil Jackson



Kobe is actually my favorite player but sometimes he's a little too crazy with his shot selection. If I was a GM and had to pick a player, there's no way I would pick against Jordan. Also, Lebron can't play D and Bird is a very necessary three point shooter. Finally, you can't have Wilt and Shaq because neither of them could shoot from further than 5 feet out.
With a team like this, you need a point guard with a pass first mentality. It's hard to not pick John Stockton, but I'll go with Magic because of his size, and versatility.



POINT GUARD: Magic Johnson



Shooting guard, hmmm....that Jordan guy was pretty clutch. I hate to leave off Jerry West, or Oscar Robertson, but...



SHOOTING GUARD: Michael Jordan



You need a guy in the starting five who is a great shooter. The major weakness in some of our recent olympic squads has been a lack of consistent outside shooting to help stretch the defense. I might be giving up a little athleticism as this position, but I'm going to choose Larry Bird. His passing ability is also a huge asset.



SMALL FORWARD: Larry Bird



I could cheat and move a guy who is actually a center over to this position, but instead I'm going to select the prototype power forward of all time, the Mailman. This guy could really run the floor, and he was also an above average rebounder and defender. Few players, if any, played through injuries the way this guy could. It is difficult to pass over Tim Duncan, but...



POWER FORWARD: Karl Malone



Who to anchor your team in the middle?? Shaq? Olajuwon? Wilt? The Admiral? Ewing? Bill Russell? I'm going to go with Kareem. His sky hook was the ultimate "go to" shot, and he's the leagues all time leading scorer.



CENTER: Kareem-Abdul-Jabbar



Who should coach this team?? I don't think any respectable coach could mess up this team. I'll go with Rudy T.



The Bench: A bunch of guys waving towels.
Abdul-Jabbar



Bird



Baylor



Jordan



Johnson



Riley
