I was listening to 570 this afternoon and Vic the Brick stated that, while some of our starting five are on the back nine of their career, Mitch has assembled the greatest starting five of all time.
I instantly disagreed with him, thinking that he was completely off base. However, now that I am thinking more and more about it, I can't think of a starting five that rivals this one. That being said, I've only been thinking about it for about five minutes, so I'm probably missing a better starting five.
What do you guys think? Has there been a better starting five than what the Lakers have this season? |

ESPN 710 radio were just talking about a similar topic. The question they posed was, name a team w/ 4 guys who were still playing at Hall of Fame level at the time of they're stint on the team. So the 2004 team doesn't count. All they could come up w/ was the great Celtics' teams w/ Bill Russell back in the day. |

Nash 38
Kobe 34
Artest 33
Gasol 32
This cannot be the greatest starting 5, just because of their age |

Because of their age? Kobe, Nash and Pau all played at very high levels last season. Age doesn't seem to be a factor for any of those three.
Artest's numbers are much lower then his career numbers, but that's how it's been his entire time as a Laker.
I don't like the "too old" argument. What does age matter if the so-called "old" players are still producing on the court and carrying their teams into the playoffs? |

| They are all great, but they are not at the best phase of their career. Kobe is becoming less efficient, Nash cannot play more than 32-33 minutes, Artest is not like he was 5 years ago and Gasol, despite having a good olympics tournament, probably starts declining step by step in the upcoming seasons. I agree that they are all hall of famers and that they can all carry the team to the playoff together, with everybody having some nights of shinning, but I do not believe that they are better e.g. from the original showtime Lakers because of their age. |

| I think we have to see how this team plays together 1st and then figure out where they are after the season. I wouldnt agree with Vic on the greatest starting 5 of all time but we shall see this coming season. You have to think about alot of championship teams that had a great starting 5 and also was successful. Lets just see how they do and not jump the gun because this starting 5 havent played a single game together. |

Yes it is the best starting 5 i have ever seen,but i am a young lady who watched basketball since 1995.Essentially what the Lakers,have done is take the franchise player from Phoenix and from Orlando and from Memphis and they already have there own franchise player Kobe Bryant.
They are doing this beyond basketball reasons,not enough people are making a big enough deal about something,the Lakers have there own television station and they must sell subscriptions.Also they have over 40 games already announced for national TV!This new TV deal with Time Warner put $5-billion in the Lakers bank account.
The Lakers are a team with a rich history,the team is rich.The team can put together any team it wants pretty much,now that they got deeper pockets,from the Time Warner Cable deal.

its not about a number, its about how they play.
nash, 10+ assist last year, not like a 38 year old huh
kobe, 2nd in league in scoring, not like a 33 year old huh
pau, still considered by charles barkley as of 3 days ago as "the best post player in the nba" and we know he was extremely underutilized last year.

| You can't be the greatest anything when you've never played 1 single game together. Let's wait and see how they all play together before assuming they're the greatest. Even on paper, it isn't the greatest because most of our starting 5 is past their prime. The Lakers Big 4 from 2004 was supposed to be the Greatest too, and we all remember how that turned out.... |

| The 2012-2013 Lakers starting five hasn't played one game yet, so it cant be said that they are the greatest starting five of all time. Lakers look incredible on paper, but they need to win now. Until then, I would consider the 95-96 Bulls to be the greatest starting five yet. 72-10 (.878) regular season and one loss in the Conference Finals, then finished off the Sonics 4-2. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoc, Dennis Rodman and Luc Longley. I also take into account their ability to play together as a team and win. Obviously not every player on this roster was the "best" or "biggest name" in their respective positions, but they put together a season that has yet to be matched by any other team. You can stack the biggest names in the NBA and put them on the same team, but it doesn't make them the greatest starting five unless they win, IMO. |

if butler and billups are declining then what does that mean for Nash who is half a decade older than them, and he's your most important player if your going to want to win a title. and billups and bulter have great back-up's in Hill, Odom, and Crawford. you guys have steve blake |

| "IF" Man do I hate that word. As a clipper fan you should be worried about Butler and Billups major recent injuries. Grant Hill HAHAHAHAH Prime example of injury prone. Nash has back spasms which is common for a 38 year old dude with the kind of mileage he has on his tank. |

Butler played through his injury and played amazing, Billups will be back to 100% before the season starts unlike Dwight. At least Dwight and Nash can read each other stories while they are laying down courtside for the whole season because of their back problems that wont go away |

Yeah Nash is obvi older but hes led the league in assist past 3years. Hes coming here for decision making and running n offense. plus hes very durable.. Billiups is playing sg haha he has to guard kobe, manu, harden, wade. Butler is definatley not the same player.
Yea we have Blake but once again him n nash are to run offenses not score 20 points a game like billups n butler, that is there job. There done, sorry to break it to you.
Did u see odom play last year, he gave up. Hes a realty stay now. Think of him as Ocho Sinco now lol. Hes my dude and I got faith in him but don't be surprised if he fails.
Grant Hill, lol.
You forgot three signing of Meeks and Jamison my friend. Your bench has a slight advantage but overall the Lakers will drown ur Clippers.
You have no one to guard kobe. Id take Mettas D over Butlers O. Cp3 will run over Nash but addition of Howard makes it harder. Griff will get his but so will Gasol. Gasol had Howard to play off and Howard has Gasol to play off. Griff n DJ cant do that.
Instead of signing Crawford or Billups they should of signed Brewer and start him. Billups is no sg. Backup pg and sg min when opposing 2nd unit in. |

Are you a Dr? Why would Mitch get D-12, Or Nash if they were going to be having health issues through out the whole season? Our Front Office is not retardted they know what they are doing. They are the best Front Office in the League that's why every player wishes they had a Front Office like ours. You know what if Stern didn't veto the trade with CP3 we would have CP3 & would of still got Dwight Howard, but that's fine because now we have Nash,Pau, and D12. I hope you were watching PAU in the Olympics because am pretty sure he will Griffin a new one =D Then what would you guys have? Blake Griffin? The highlight package that has no post game what so ever, or mid range shot. |

| Thats the another injury that I forgot about. I'm talking about the knee surgery he had with dallas when he missed the whole season. Averaged 8 points a game in the playoffs and 12 in the regular season coming off that knee surgery. I wouldn't go that far with it. I'd expect him to play a lot better last year when hes playin with one of the best playmakers in the game. |

Wait so our Highlight reel player who "has no post game what so ever, or mid range shot" didnt average more points than Gasol, at least Griffin not afraid to go in the post unlike Gasoft |

I can Gurantee you know with Nash Pau will easily average 20ppg.
Again did you see Pau in the Olympics? Last game against USA? 26 points 8 rebounds 7 assist 1 steal.
Pau has changed he even said so him self he wants to be a beast for the Lakers.
Pau is a better defensive player than Blake Griffin. |

Am not going to lie, but I don't watch Blake Griffin play all that much unless it's against the Lakers. He just doesn't have that traditional post game, or mid range that he should have, maybe he can develop it in the coming years. |

That is all what Griffin is. The dude has no game what so ever. The only reason why the nba and the media praise this dude is because of his dunks. If they look at his overall game they would see the same that we fans of the nba would see. Griffin has no low post moves to the basket. His footwork is not the best. He cant shoot a 17ft jumpshot like Duncan, Pau have mastered, he dosent strech the offense, he dosent play any defense, he cant make a free throw and a little fact is he flops to dam much.
All what Griffin has rite now is he is athletic then most pf's in the game. Once that goes out the window in i say 7 or 8 years then he is pretty much done. Look at Mcgrady and Carter. Thats the same path that Griffin is going toward. Face it flop city fan, Blake should not be the face of your guys franshice in the coming years. Lets not forget about his glass knees. Good luck with that. Blake is overrated and so are the clippers. You guys would be lucky to get the 6th seed with teams like LAL, SAS, OKC, Den, MEM who are better then the clippers. |

| Blake Griffin lost my respect when he averaged a measly 6.9 rebounds in the playoffs. That's weak sh*t right there. |

He's overrated, his game is not well rounded at all. He relies on others to make a play for him most of the time. Give him a few years, and then you can start bragging, but right now he's nothing but a high jumper... |

Haha face it Blake has NO game. Gasol has more then Blake and lets not forget that pau has a better and impressive resume then Blake. Get out of here noob and go back to CTB with the rest of the unintelligent clipper fans and your meaningless threads. |

I'm sorry, but what exactly does a Clipper fan know about Finals MVP's? Is it that the Clipper organization will never have a Finals MVP? |

Your post get better n better lol.
Griffin #1 option
Gasol #3 option
Do you think Gasol even cares about Griffin and what he does.
Just go away. Griffin is product material to make the NBA money. CHILDREN look up to guys like Griff, simply because he can jump over KIA cars. Ppl who know the game of basketball know hes not better than Gasol. |

Agreed... Griffin wishes he was as good as Gasol.
When he becomes 30 and loses his athleticism he will be a below average player |

| Lol, the greatest starting five belongs to the bulls that went 72-10, end discussion. |

I don't think this may be the best all time, there are some monsters squads over the history of the NBA. We got some here:
Lakers 71-72 (33 consecutive wins and without Baylor): Gail Goodrich, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Jim McMillian and Happy Hairsto
Boston 86-86: Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird, Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge
Lakers 86-87: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, A.C. Green, James Worthy, Byron Scott, Earvin "Magic" Johnson
and of course the Bulls 96: Steve Kerr, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Luc Longley.
Despite the 72 wins, I found the 86 Lakers squad the best in history, followed close by that Boston team. No doubt why they dominated the NBA in that decade. |

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.
I think the '86 Lakers are the best starting 5 in history |
