By position, who is the all time starting 5 in NBA history. Mark Jackson said Lebron is there

[WorldNumberOne]

PG Magic
SG Michael
SF Bird. Jackson has Lebron here..
PF Duncan
C Tough one.. I guess Russell

 

[seldomseen]

As much as it pains me to admit this....I think so.....

 

[DrunkenHorseplayer]

Magic, Michael, LeBron, Karl Malone and Moses Malone.

 

[packer2012]

Any way we could use Russ at the power forward? Hard to keep The Stilt put of the lineup.

LeBron does not belong. Bullshit wishful thinking to get a current guy in there!

 

[HacheMan]

I don't think he deserves to be there....yet

 

[Mr_Mark]

I think the only for sure lock on everyones list is MJ at SG

Many great players at the other positions makes it a tuff call.

PG:
Magic
Big O
Stockton

SF:
Bird
Lebron
Dr J
Elgin Baylor

PF:
Duncan
Malone, Karl or Moses
KG
Barkley

C:
Russell
Shaq
Wilt
Hakeem
David Robinson
Kareem

I think you ask 50 all time greats to pick between Bird and LeBron and you probably get 25 on each guy.

 

[Shub]

Bird all day

 

[CHOPTALK]

Come on guys. I was a big bird fan to but I don't see how this is even a conversation.

 

[DogDaze]

Bird.

 

[Doublelife]

Lebron by far he would destroy bird

 

[HacheMan]

Come on guys. I was a big bird fan to but I don't see how this is even a conversation.

They are two of the best all-around players all-time.

But in different ways.

Bird was a better shooter, rebounder, passer, and scrapper.

Lebron depends on his size & physicality to get it done.

They're just different...

 

[CHOPTALK]

The question is who's the best not who's your favorite. I can't think of a single thing bird did better then lebron other then maybe a slightly better 3 point shooter

 

[loomis41973]

The question is who's the best not who's your favorite. I can't think of a single thing bird did better then lebron other then maybe a slightly better 3 point shooter

Hard to compare..was a different game then.

 

[DogDaze]

The question is who's the best not who's your favorite. I can't think of a single thing bird did better then lebron other then maybe a slightly better 3 point shooter

Then you didn't watch Bird as much as you think you did.

He is one of the best free throw shooters of all time.
