5. Golden State Warriors: Stephen Curry-Klay Thompson-Rick Barry-Draymond Green-Wilt Chamberlain
6th Man: Chris Mullin
The best offensive team in the current NBA also hosts the most explosive offense in our All-Time league. Curry, Thompson, Barry and Mullin are four of the greatest shooters the league has ever seen. Wilt is the most dominant scorer in league history. Green does all the dirty work, and forms an excellent big man passing duo with Chamberlain.
4. San Antonio Spurs: Tony Parker-George Gervin-Kawhi Leonard-Tim Duncan-David Robinson
6th Man: Manu Ginobili
The All-Time Spurs team would be able to compete solely based on chemistry, but this team also possesses tremendous talent. Parker, Ginobili and Duncan have all played and won championships with Robinson and Kawhi. Add in one of the greatest scorers in NBA history in George Gervin, and you have a team that knows their roles and knows how to win as a unit. Kawhi can match up with any wing in the league, while Gervin can score on any defender thrown at him. Parker will be able to probe the lane, setting up easy baskets for himself as well as Duncan and Robinson. Ginobili thrives in the 6th Man role, and gives the team excellent spacing. The Spurs always have been, and more than likely always will be, a well-oiled machine.
3. Chicago Bulls: Derrick Rose-Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen-Dennis Rodman-Artis Gilmore
6th Man: Jimmy Butler
Rose, Jordan and Pippen would be enough to make the All-Time Bulls the most athletically gifted team in the league. In transition, no team would be able to stop either of the three pushing the ball down court and finding passing lanes for each other. Imagining Rose snatching a miss off the glass, pushing in transition, and finding Jordan or Pippen for a thunderous dunk on the break is downright frightening. Rodman and Gilmore would primarily be screeners and rebounders, while Butler would attempt to provide outside shooting for a team that desperately needs it. For a franchise that has six championships, the Bulls aren’t incredibly deep talent-wise, but when you have the Greatest of All Time, you don’t really have to be.
2. Boston Celtics: Dennis Johnson-John Havlicek-Larry Bird-Kevin McHale-Bill Russell
6th Man: Paul Pierce
DJ gets the slight edge at the lead guard spot over Hall of Famer Bob Cousy based upon level of competition and available footage. The rest of the lineup is mostly chalk. The scoring and playmaking of Havlicek and Bird, coupled with McHale’s low-post ability, makes for a hard matchup against other teams that want to play small-ball. Bill Russell’s All-World paint protection and rebounding makes up for any lack of foot speed at the other spots. Paul Pierce makes the squad by a hair for his clutch shooting and on-ball defense. The All-Time Celtics are an elite team by any standard.
1. Los Angeles Lakers: Magic Johnson-Jerry West-Kobe Bryant-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-Shaquille O’Neal
6th Man: James Worthy
The Lakers have what seems like an unlimited supply of Hall of Famers to select from. Elgin Baylor, Michael Cooper, Pau Gasol, Gail Goodrich, Jamal Wilkes, George Mikan and other great players in NBA history are left off the most exclusive lineup in our All-Time league. Magic and Kobe is a perfect guard combo, matching each other’s intensity and leading the team in completely different ways. West is a dead-eye shooter who can fill the role of playmaker or spot-up shooter. In transition, Magic would have his choice of two of the best finishers in league history in Bryant and Worthy. Kareem and Shaq would be virtually unstoppable. They do occupy similar spots on the court, but Kareem’s range stretches outside the paint, and Shaq’s athleticism allows him to roam freely and quickly in the middle. The Lakers have tremendous star power along with elite size, speed, and skill, making them the odds on favorite to capture the All-Time title.
Lakers!!!!!!
