Ya know, teams where the starting 5 seemed to play really well within each of their roles.

Loved me some 2016 GSW:

  1. Stephen Curry
  2. Klay Thompson
  3. Harrison Barnes
  4. Draymond Green
  5. Andrew Bogut

2014 Trailblazers:

  1. Damian Lillard
  2. Westley Matthews (pre-Achilles)
  3. Nic Batum
  4. LaMarcus Aldridge
  5. Robin Lopez

2008 Celtics:

  1. Rajon Rondo
  2. Ray Allen
  3. Paul Pierce
  4. Kevin Garnett
  5. Kendrick Perkins

    2012 Lakers for sure.

    Pass-first, super-smart point guard who’s also one of the best distance shooters of the era.

    Shooting guard that shoots a lot, is a MJ-like superstar and is allegedly one of the best defenders ever one-on-one.

    Small forward who is versatile, was a first option in a middling team but “doesn’t need the ball”, shoots 40% from three, and is famous for being one of the top defenders.

    Power forward who is tall as fuck but also stretches the floor, has a silky touch, post game, very good passer for a 7-footer, class.

    Center that is very big, strong, best defender of the generation allegedly, will dunk forever for any amount of points but doesn’t “need the ball” too much.

    It’s just… so exactly like people imagine it. Fans of 5 archetype positions must have creamed watching them.

    Championship nuggets. You’ve got shooting everywhere and great defense to cover for Jokic. I particularly love AG’s fit next to Jokic on both sides of the ball

    I was excited to have Dwight and Nash join Kobe and pau. I thought the line up was very well constructed but the team was dog shit.
