New Best Starting 5

[DarkReign]

Starting 5's are way way overrated. Besides, there's always one weak link of the five players.

How many great starting 5's actually win NBA les? Yeah, maybe the 2004 Pistons, but I can't think of many after that.

Thorn in the side here.

I would think the 5 from the Bulls of the mid 90s was pretty damn good.

Jordan, Kukoc, Pippen, Paxson and Cartwright.

Once again, they werent the absolute best players at their position (except Jordan, and arguably Pippen), but they were the absolute best starting 5 in the NBA of their time, IMO.

Kukoc didn't join the Bulls until 1993. Jordan had retired by then. Cartwright, Jordan and Kukoc never played together.

I think you meant Horace Grant. Still a decent starting 5. John Paxson hit the open shots that were provided for him, but didn't exactly strike fear in the hearts of his opponents.
