My choice as the best and greatest starting 5 of all-time. Plus, team #2.

era different

No whites would be on any all time nba list except Bird

[allabout the $$$]

kobe, lebron, michael, curry, wilt or russell either 1

Shaq the most dominate center of all time.. Feared in his prime... He should be considered on every fantasy best starting 5 players of all time..

I just can't see that one, Jib.
Dominating? More dominating than Jabbar--Chamberlain--Walton, when in their prime?
And there may be one or two more?

JJ, do not forget to pick them when in their prime. Walton was maybe the best all-around at that center position?
He did it all and was superb in all center skills needed. And I may have goofed by leaving him off my #2 team?

And, I am sure there are a few more that could play with today's player's, if taken in their prime.

Bryan do you try and force feed this garbage to embiid in hopes that he sees the game as you did back when short shorts, Chuck taylors and tube socks were in?

Young mates, please do not watch Walton go 21 of 22 to win the 1973 NCAA championship.
Even I am not that cruel.

Please old veteran gambler's, skip this shocking history on Walton

BILL WALTON
UCLA coach John Wooden described Walton as "intelligent" and "inquisitive." In the forward of Walton's book, "Nothing But Net," Wooden wrote, "As a player, Bill was one of the greatest who ever performed at his position at every level of competition -- high school, college and professional. There are many true students of the sport who consider him to be the very finest when all aspects of the games are taken into consideration."

Did Walton win championships?
He won two high school championships (1969 and 1970), two NCAA crowns at UCLA (1972 and 1973) and two NBA titles (with the 1977 Portland Trail Blazers and 1986 Boston Celtics).

And that 88 win streak at UCLA!

As a rookie in 1974-75, an injury-prone Walton was limited to 35 games and averaged just 12.8 points. The next season, Walton played 51 games; he averaged 16.1 points and 13.4 rebounds though the Trail Blazers finished last in the Pacific Division.

He made his mark during Portland's 1976-77 championship season, when he played in 65 games and won the NBA's MVP award.

Walton led Portland past Dr. J and the 76ers in the 1977 NBA Finals.
He averaged 18.6 points and led the NBA in rebounding (14.4) and blocked shots (3.25). After the Trail Blazers, who finished second to the Lakers in the Pacific Division in the regular season, swept Los Angeles in the Western Conference finals, it rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win the NBA Finals in six games over the Philadelphia 76ers. Walton was voted the Finals MVP.

In 1978, Walton was named All-NBA First Team for the only time after averaging career-highs in points (18.9) and assists (5.0). He also averaged 13.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. But injuries hit him again and he played in just 58 games. After a 50-10 start, the Trail Blazers finished 58-24 and didn't even reach the Western Conference finals.

Walton missed the entire 1978-79 season because of a foot injury. He wanted out of Portland. He was so dissatisfied with the quality of medical care he received from the Trail Blazers' medical staff that he filed a malpractice suit.

Lesson learned I hope, young mates?

[ABEHONEST]

Yep, Reggie Miller agrees with ABE

Who would know better?

[shadymcgrady]

Bryan or Mr. Colangelo, do you sincerely believe the sixers recent success is directly attributed to your hard work or you stealing credit from the work of Sam Heinke?
