The Spurs could also switch Manu for Gervin. If he took this one step further and had a 6th man, he could alleviate a logjam without creating positions (MJ’s not a PG, that’s a cop out/Ewing isn’t a PF). This would make a Spurs team of the one he mentioned, plus the Iceman. That’s a damn good team. Would like to see the other team’s fans chime in.
@@nomnom9992 I didn't do it on purpose. I was just thinking of Spurs history, completely forgetting it should be Pop history. Hence this guy when I realized my mistake 😆 Most people don't give a like to a comment calling them out. I did because I was wrong.
In his first year coaching in the ABA, Larry Brown had a player who was born four years before the end of WWII, in his final year with Charlotte, he coached DJ Augustin Imagine the similar factoids we’ll have once Pop retires
He also coached Garrett Temple on that 2011 Bobcats team - Temple is still playing today for the Pelicans. Since Joe Caldwell (oldest player on Brown's first team) was born in 1941, technically Brown has been coaching players from before the NBA was created to the current day - a span of about 82 years.
Don Nelson has some combo of Run TMC, Baron Davis, early/Mid 80s Bucks, and early ‘00s Mavs with Dirk and Kidd. Definitely a solid 5 in that group somewhere
I was thinking about this, my starting 5 would prolly be this. G - Hardaway G - Moncrief F - Mullin F - Cummings C - Dirk No rim protection but that's gonna be a fun run-and-gun squad. 😄
The video was good, but i have a small complaint: the fun part of making a starting 5 instead of a top 5 players is to compare each player in their own position. If you get 2 great players that played in the same position (like Jordan and Kobe) putting one in another position that didn't really play goes against the idea.
@@alexandrevillela926 Of course you can cut off overrated Cope Bryant. Ron Harper is a better back-court partner to Jordan anyway, and won just as many rings under Phil Jackson as overrated Cope Bryant.
Pau would make a good back up Center for Shaq. He played Power Foward to accomodate other players. His brother at international level, Bynum and Howard at Lakers then it stuck. But he also played Center at Lakers.
Cant believe the amount of players who are capable of of playing SF and PF in his teams and the amount of combo guards. You really need good fundamentals in all aspects of the game to thrive in the triangle outside and inside.
@@thecaptain9212 Jimmy even gets many minutes as power forward in Miami small-ball lineups. 1903 minutes in regular season (35% total) and 543 minutes in playoffs (34% total). Calculated 57 total games equivalent (out of 219) in RS and 14 total games equivalent (out of 42) in playoffs
Lenny Wilkens starting 5 of ‘04 Knicks Stephon Marbury, ‘01 Raptors Vince Carter at 2, ATL Hawks Dominique Wilkins, then Mutumbo and Brad Daugherty in the front court
Phil would definitely pick Dennis Rodman over Pau Gasol. Phil said that no player ever learned and adopted the triangle offense as quick as Dennis did.
Thumbs up for recognizing the Showtime Lakers Magic Johnson as "the best point guard in the history of the NBA". I completely agree, he wasn't a high point shooting powerhouse, but he was a monster with respect to assists. With him on your team and at least 1 or 2 other good scoring players you're golden. Him + Kareem + Ewing… scary
Pat Riley once said "If I need a shot to win a game, Michael Jordan gets the ball." "If I need a shot to save my LIFE, Larry Bird gets it." That says it ALL...
Don Nelson, Lenny Wilkens, and Dick Motta would be interesting -- extremely long careers on the bench with multiple teams across different eras. The era Wilkens and Motta started in was nothing like the era they retired in. Nelson - 80s era Bucks, 90s Run TMC, Nash-Nowitzki Mavs, We Believe Warriors Wilkens - Championship Sonics, 80s and early 90s Cavs with Price, Daugherty, Wilkins, Ehlo, etc; Steve Smith & Mutombo Hawks; Carter Raptors Motta - early Bulls teams, 1970s powerhouse Bullets, 80s Mavs and the 3J era Mavs
More coaches please! I would love to see: Red Auerbach Red Holtzman Lenny Wilkens Don Nelson Jerry Sloan Bill Fitch Dick Motta Gene Shue George Karl Chuck Daly Rick Adelman Jack Ramsay KC Jones Tom Heinsohn Cotton Fitzsimmons Mike Fratello Rick Carlisle John MacLeod and John Kundla ...just to name a few
Scott Brooks would have a nice team too PG: John Wall SG: Russell Westbrook SF: Bradley Beal PF: Kevin Durant C: Serge Ibaka p.s. I know this isn't true to position but still in their prime this team would do damage
nope. The Best Scott Brooks team was in OKC: PG: Russell Westbrook SG: James Harden SF: Kevin Durant PF: Serge Ibaka C: Steven Adams THAT team would win multiple and should have won 1 in 2012 (I know Adams wasn't there, but still) and 2016 (I know Harden was traded, but still).
Also Monte Williams starting 5 is interesting, 2 versions of cp3, Devin Booker, they just got KD (if he can stay healthy), Anthony Davis, and DeAndre Ayton
PG - Magic SG - Michael SF - Larry Bird PF - Tim Duncan C - Bill Russel Bench - Kobe, Shaq, Steph, Kareem, Dr. J Honorable mentions - LeBron, Wilt, Jerry West, KD
If I'm making Phil's team, I'm switching Pau with Rodman. Low defense and rebounding really rounds that team out. Either way that team is practically untouchable, even if it would explode in the most destructive way possible.
Not picking Rodman lost it for me. Best defender EVER, at the peak of his game and you take the soft option. Only saving grace being that Rodman on the other team would really annoy MJ, Kobe and Pippen.
I'd rather have Pau spacing the floor for Shaq. That team is fine in terms of defense and rebounding, but from a modern perspective the floor spacing is a bit iffy since Jordan and Kobe primarily operate in the midrange. Pau being able to shoot from midrange and even 3 later in his career as opposed to Rodman being a non-shooter does make a difference offensively. And are people really still spreading BS about Pau being soft?
I would think K.C. Jones should be included. Just takes the Celtics teams he coached in the mid 80's and they would give any team a challenge. I think the best team on your list may be the Phil Jackson team. That team would have an elite level of athleticism combined with killer instincts. It would definitely be a hard team to beat. Maybe put them up in a hypothetical seven-game series against one of the Olympic dream teams:)
Love these videos.. gotta mention honorable mentions more though, makes it more fun.. like Pat Riley for example Hardaway & Mourning should’ve been mentioned 😭
Honestly, Mourning would be a better power forward in his scheme, then Ewing would. I would even say that Charles Oakley would be a better pick for that power forward spot, he was a beast when Riley coached him.
Red Auerbach: Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman, John Havlicek, Ed Macauley, Bill Russell. (How's that for a lineup that leaves out Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, Tom Sanders, K.C. Jones, and Bones McKinney). Bill Fitch: Dennis Johnson, Drazen Petrovic (out of position), Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Hakeem Olajuwon with Danny Ainge, Robert Parish, Ralph Sampson, Austin Carr, and Cedric Maxwell making a very tall bench. For Jackson's bench, Rodman, Robert Horry, Derek Fisher, John Paxson, and Toni Kukoc makes a heck of bench unit.
Denis rodman is known as rhe “goat” rebounder because that’s all he did he doesn’t have the most rebounds of all time or the most in a single game Pau gasol did rebounding and averaged more than 3 points 😂
Funny enough, the weak link to team chemistry wouldn't even be Rodman if he you pick him over Gasol. The problem would be Shaq. He'd have MJ and Kobe chirping at him.
What about Tom Thibodeau starting 5?? MVP D Rose at 1, MN Jimmy Butler at 2(on par with Heat Jimmy B), I guess Wiggins at the 3(who has a ring with GS), current Julius Randle at 4, KAT at 5, all 20+ PPG scorers
Yeah probably not but that still is 3 versatile wing/ forward defenders that can score, the best shooting big man of all time and the youngest MVP in league history.. they would be a threat at least
I agreed with most of his picks except that Pau over Rodman. I think Rodman is HANDS DOWN the pick over Pau Gasol. If Rodman scored 15-20pts a game, people would almost unanimously agree he's the greatest forward to ever play the game. His rebounding, defense and stamina are so far beyond almost anyone else ever, but because he didn't score he gets overlooked and dismissed. That starting 5 has enough scoring and passers, you need someone that can D up basically anyone on the opposing team and grabs you 15+ boards. Pau would be like Bosh on the Lebron heat, where he no longer looks as impressive as he did before, whereas Rodman wouldn't step on anybody's toes on offense. Between Jordan, Kobe and Shaq, you got enough people that need the ball. Pippen too, but he's a team player and a world class defender, so he'll contribute even if he's not getting the ball. If you took it a step further and included the bench, throw in some Steve Kerr/Ron Harpers to be a legit catch and shoot 3pt threat so you space the floor out better, then sit 1 or 2 of jordan/kobe/pippen early so they come back in against enemy bench lineups. That team isn't losing to hardly anyone. When your 'bench/small ball' lineup is like.. Kobe, Kerr, Harper, Pippen... shiiiit.
Yeah you definitely need a part 2 or made this video longer because George Karl had some good teams/players as well as Lenny Wilkins, Rick Carlisle & Jeff Van Gundy.
Best team talent wise: I'd say Phil Jackson's. But it would fail as a team. MJ+Kobe+Shaq would be a nightmare to coach and I don't think even Jackson could do that much of a miracle.
The all time Phil 5 is Kobe, Jordan, Pippen, Gasol, Shaq. All the respect to other guys on his teams but these are the guys. And for context, Scottie may be guarding the 3 often, but he’s the point guard.
I think Jackson would take Horace Grant over Dennis Rodman. Grant wasn’t as good a defender as Rodman (still elite though) but he was a very reliable offensive player. Grant won 4 rings with Jackson.
Don't need Rodmans offense with that Phil Jackson squad, so you gotta take him over Gasol for lockdown defense and rebounding to take it off Shaq's plate.
I hate that I agree with the pao choice. I would want to go Rodman but I’ve literally run this scheme in 2k with Rodman at pf and Shaw at center and shaw basically made him redundant cause he swallowed every reb and Rodman would have to be right where shaw was to be effective. Although my defense was insane cause Rodman could switch to anybody and shut them down. But I’m a game where Rodman wouldn’t have to plus gasol wasn’t a defense chump he just wasn’t nearly as athletic I can only imagine it’s worse in real life.

Rodman would be it. You can just imagine having those 5 defensive monsters in one team.
Pau would never get a shot in a team with MJ and Kobe (and Shaq), might as well run even better D.

Because he will mostly pass the ball to pippen instead of keeping it himself unlike kobe
An easy solution is to have Pippen at PG considering he was the point forward, MJ at SG, and Kobe at SF.
Because Jordan was a GOAT level playmaker in the triangle. He avg 11ast in the 1991 Finals. The most ever in the Finals other than Magic Johnson

You put Auerbach in the picture at the start, but then didn't pick a team for him.
You should have done it opposition wise it would’ve been more interesting
Jordan-Kobe-Pippen-Gasol-Shaq sounds unbeatable, but Magic-Wade-Worthy-Ewing-Jabbar is my bet.
On mike d'antonis he said four of the 5 players didn't win a ring but melo won one with the lakers with lebron in 2020.
scratch that! My fault he didn't win one.
Phil would obviously chose rodman he even said no has picked up the triangle offensivs quicker than rodman
You have to do the Red Auerbach starting five.
Honorable mention: lavar ball: lonzo ball, lamelo ball and liangelo ball
I'm taking rodman over gasol
no
Yeah
I can't believe austin rivers pick cp3 instead of rondo who gave him a championship ring
Phil Johnson’s is the real super team.
Jordan also had the nickname superman.
10:53 bro said “easily win a chip” when cp3 is on the team
