Kyrie to the Suns is picking up steam, so with that said…. Is this lineup the best starting five ever?… I can’t think of another group

3 Hall of Famers, Byron Scott, and a virgin (in case a sacrifice is needed) for the win. Not much of a bench though, outside of Coop.

Kyrie isn’t going to the Suns, they can’t afford him. They have to fill out those bench with little cap room as it is. By the time they finished a roster they would owe 200M in luxury tax.
Past doesn't count to many here. If they weren't alive to see it. It never happened.
Danny Ainge,
Dennis Johnson,
Larry Bird,
Kevin Mchale,
Robert Parish.
Sixth man - Bill Walton.

Any team without Kyrie on it is going to be better.
83 Sixers were another great one with Moses, Dr. J, Mo Cheeks, Andrew Toney, and Bobby Jones playing the most minutes. Only problem was Bobby Jones came off the bench.
Ron Harper
Luc Longely
Jordan won a title with Luc Longely as his starting center 😂
Wayne Turner
Tony Delk
Antoine Walker
Walter McCarty
Mark Pope
Derek Anderson
Ron Mercer

He's also the only reason Lebron ever beat the warriors to win his defining title in Cleveland.
Both statements are true overall though.
Yeah that was a wild run when he actually wasn’t a distraction and just played. But it sure went to his head for the next few years
People say he makes the team worse because of his off court actions. In reality he is a top 4 PG in the league. He makes the team better on the court, like you said if it wasn’t for Kyrie LeBron probably wouldn’t have won a ring at Cleveland.
Defense and team efficiency go down with him on the court. But he is no doubt incredible at ISO ball

I can’t believe it took this long for someone to mention the original Dream Team.
Greatest team to ever play actual games together.
Absolutely. I didn’t even think about them because of focusing on actual franchise teams, but hands down this has to be number 1.
To add to this thread that lineup doesn't even make sense to me. Not enough ball for all those jogs.
As for all Time best probably some 60s celtics lineup. They had a cheesy amount of talent.
Since Kyrie doesn't actually play defense, at all, does he even count toward a starting 5?
How about the '62-'63 Celtics that had 9 future Hall of Fame players on it!!
Bill Russell
John Havlicek
Bob Cousy
Tom Heinsohn
Sam Jones
KC Jones
Satch Sanders
Frank Ramsey
Clyde Lovellette
