    I was clogging my heart during lunch (Chacho's) and started contemplating best starting 5's of all-time. Then shifted to best athletic starting 5 of all-time. How would it fare, going up against THE best 5 of all-time? Remember, this is list is based on peak.

    1 - Russell Westbrook
    2 - Michael Jordan
    3 - Lebron James
    4 - Shawn Kemp
    5 - Wilt Chamberlain

    What's your list?

    Scottie Pippen
    Michael Jordan
    Kevin Durant
    LeBron James
    Giannis Antetokounmpo

    Trying to get at least a modicum of reasonability at point guard, with Pippen. If I just aimed for the 5 most utterly athletic players regardless of anyone running the point, I'd replace Pippen with Vince Carter.

    Rose
    Jordan
    Lebron
    Giannis
    Shaq or Dwight Howard.

    love Hakeem, he was way more skilled but those two guys were just athletically better. I mean Dwight has a dunk contest win.

    Bron is a billionaire according to Forbes.

    Maybe he co-owns a team very soon.

    So he doesn't have to be on this lists all the time but as an owner.
