Choosing the best NBA starting five of all time is challenging. Different legends come to mind, and there’s ample room for debate. Nevertheless, it remains a popular topic among NBA fans, with even renowned NBA personalities joining the discussion.
Numerous NBA individuals have shared their all-time starting five, and the most recent to do so is Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd. With his notable history as a point guard and his time with NBA greats, Kidd is clearly the man for the job.
Following their preseason defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kidd was questioned during a postgame interview about his picks for an all-time starting lineup. Taking a moment to reflect, he accepted and mentioned two of his current Mavericks players in his list.
“Players playing today or past players? Oh, any. Great question. I have to put Luka and Kai [Kyrie Irving] on there. You got LeBron James, you would have to go with Shaq. I should put a shooter on there, so let’s put Steph in there.”
