All-Time Starting 5 for Every NBA Team

on

With all the talk we hear about who the G.O.A.T. is, not often do we talk about the fact that basketball is a team sport. Sure one player can help raise a team to a completely different level, but championships aren’t won playing 1 vs 5. This list will include the best players for every team at all five positions. On this list I will only include teams that are still franchises today, but will include players from teams whose location have changed since their inaugural season. I also will not include a player twice on the list and will put him on the team he had the most impact on.
