Being a winner is something that all these guys had down pat.
Who's your ultimate starting 5?
Don't laugh but honestly my top 5 of all time is:
Tim Duncan
Tony Parker
Manu Ginobili
Robert Horry
Bruce Bowen
I just love these five guys and I think they have the best chemistry on a team...They play the best together...And they are my favorite five guys of all time...
Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson are the other choices for me...
Yeah I was wondering that too, nice line up! You have a playmaker (Magic), a scorer and great defender (MJ), you have a guy who can get to the basket at will (Dr.J), a shotblocker and a guy who can gaurd multiple guys at once (Bill Russell), and a guy who can take you in the paint (Wilt).
Bill Russell had terrific athleticism. coordination, timing. But what really made him special was his mental approach to the game. Talk of Jordan and Bird being mentally tough, well Bill wrote the book. The best defensive player in history, he would have excelled in today's game, big ball, small ball whatever. I like the stories about him wearing a black suit during trips to opponents homecourts to intimidate the crowd.. it was like going to someone's funeral.

I'd put Magic in for Oscar but I'm cool with the all the rest. I think that Russell would still make an impact if he was playing today. The guy had incredible timing and quickness and he was like 6-9 with long arms. I would take Tim over Malone because I think that Tim is by far the more effecient defender. And I'm a die hard Bird fan.

I decided on the Big O instead of Magic because I consider him a more complete player,offensively and defensively. At 6ft.5 he was the first great big PG and triple double games were no big deal for him- he averaged a triple double for an entire season, He was MJ without the hops.
He's going by team chemistry.
