Hello all, today's post I am going to tell you all about my ideal All-Time starting 5 to let you know where I stand with all the greats.....
PG: Magic Johnson
There is no other PG in League history that was as Dynamic and important as Magic Johnson, 6'9 with insane handles, a 5-Time Champ with 3-MVP's the only other PG I would consider is John Stockton because Stockton was the perfect PG due to his ability to dish and steal...
SG: MJ
Obviously no one else was taking this spot because he is the GOAT, but you can not argue with 5 MVP's and 6 rings, Kobe was amazing and the best player in the early 2000's, but he has 1 MVP and was not in the PLAYOFFS every year even MJ took them to the playoffs in the 80's even if it was to be beaten down by the bad boys...
SF: Lebron James
In my opinion Lebron James is the greatest ATHLETE to ever play the game of Basketball.... if you were to make a perfect basketball player with all the right tools and mixtures of skills LBJ is coming out without a doubt, an amazing scorer, MAGIC IQ passing, solid rebounding, and yes he is a 4-time MVP and 3-time champ, he is the best SF ever. If Lebron has Kobe/MJ mentality he would EASILY be the best player to ever walk on this earth, but his laid back attitude, nonchalant ways have led to him being 3-5 in the Finals even if he played some serious competition, but I will save my arguments for another post....
PF : Tim Duncan
If you talked to me 5 years ago I would have told you Karl Malone over and over again but looking back on their careers, Tim Duncan was so filthy and if the man had a personality he would be talked about by a lot more people as the GOAT, 2 MVP's and 5 rings can not be looked down upon no matter what he was way better accolade wise than Garnett, a better winner than Barkley, and overall a better true 4 than Malone, Duncan is the best PF by a nice margin
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The All-Time leader in points, 6-time MVP, 6-time Champion, I love Shaq and think he is THE MOST DOMINATE PLAYER EVER, but something about 38k points, 6 rings, and 6 MVP's, can not be voted as the best player at this position, his longevity of stardom also can not be overlooked as the big man lasted a long time in the league, he is easily the best center we have
Now you know where I stand on All-Time greats at each position, let me know how you feel below and who you would have instead of the people listed
Thanks for the read!!!
