Best PG, best SG, best SF, best PF, best C. Hard to argue against
That’s a good list.
Now lets see Brandon Millers list
That’s an unfuckwithable starting five
Steph as the runner for supplies
Jordan as the cook
Lebron as the do-it-all utility guy
Duncan as the cleaning guy
Shaq to lift heavy things
#PlanetSaved
Finally, one of these that doesn’t make me cringe, Wemby is truly special
Please god do not ask Brandon Miller this question!
Fate of the planet isn’t the universe so it makes sense no Iguodala
id put Larry bird in there, just for the shit talking
Just because he’s got KD skills and can save children from burning buildings without leaving the ground doesn’t mean he knows shit. But hard to argue with that list.
smart kid, picking the two players with Space Jam experience
Just wait til Shaq’s at the line to win the game
That’s why David Robinson told him he ain’t paying for his dinner that night
MJ, Bugs, Porky Pig, Lola Bunny, and Bill Murray actually saved the world. The disrespect smh
brandon miller’s starting 5 to save the planet= gilbert arenas, paul george, theo ratliff, javale mcgee, malik beasley
Give me 5 Iguodalas.
Can’t really argue with that list.
in what fucking world would we allow a french teenager to be in charge of that
Wow. Pretty good list from a player finally
I love how the reporter asked why he didn’t put himself on that list.
“I haven’t done anything yet.”
This kid gets PR.
I want Iguodala!
Why does SA keep getting these Hoops IQ guys what the fuck
Imagine if he left Duncan off the list hahaha
My starting five is Ja Morant, Zion, Karl Malone, Kobe and Dillon Brooks.
Nah someone just said Kareem didn’t dominate the league like shaq did. Mods take this sub away again
Great list. Wemby is already stratospheres smarter than the number 2 pick.
I fucking love him so much. I might swap Kareem in for Shaq but no complaints either way obviously
this mfer also has reasonable takes? league fucked
One of the more intelligent lists a draft pick has given. No random Baron Davis or Rudy Gay.
Absolutely no notes. Would love to know who his 6th man is though
Literally the right answer. People will swap out some of these guys just to be different. This is *THEE* starting 5. I’m not finna go back and forf wit ya
Everytime I see a pro NBA players starting 5, there’s always some odd placement. This is a genuinely good list
He’s going to regret not having Bird to save the world.
Looks like Wembanyama knows his intergalactic basketball teams!
Pretty decent. But spacing would be truly terrible. I’d rather have a couple lesser players with better outside shots to let MJ + LeBron drive and post up. Timmy will make it work with whoever, but I think Shaq is a dreadful fit for that group.
Honestly I would quite likely end up with Timmy playing center so I can have more flexibility in getting a 3 and D rebounder as the other forward.
Oh man. GIve me Bird at the other forward spot. Center would be anybody with a decent jump shot and great defense. And a small enough Ego to let the other guys do the vast majority of the scoring. D-Rob, Timmy, ….
Somebody like Jokic would simply be wasted on this team.
Oh man, they’ve legit forgotten Jabar who was such a more complete player and without the flaws of Shaq.
And if you can live with the free throws, but having wilt there is a crime
I’ve said it before, but swap out Shaq for Sabonis in his prime.
Damn, that is a high BBIQ answer
The correct answer is:
Michael Jordan
Bugs Bunny
Lola Bunny
Bill Murray
Wayne Knight
