Respect to KG for showing respect to legends of the game
Lol you only rating him cos his historically disrespectful. People shouldn't get ratings for doing normal shit. I'd like to see you guy's reaction if Lebron or pippen was paying homage, probably would have skip have a 20 minute monologue about being soft or some shit

Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain were triathlon athletes meaning THEY WERE TWO OF THE MOST ATHLETIC GUYS IN THE NBA EVER. Wilt chamberlain picked Arnold swarzeneggar up by the waste and put him on the hood of a car. Russell was a high jump champion and could touch the top of the backboard. Y’all gone miss me with the “Shaq was the most dominant player of all time BS” when he really flamed out at 32yrs old.

@@unseen2553 lmfao man I couldn't say it better myself 😅
@@unseen2553 even if u never watched any sport before, just looking at prime shaq, you can tell he’s unstoppable
For sure. I don’t mean any disrespect to the old school greats. The only guy I even put on Shaqs level of big man greatness is Hakeem and I find it insane that no body ever even thinks of putting Hakeem at the 5 but they’ll throw guys who played in the 50’s and 60’s their shine. To quote Jordan I take that personally. So it’s either the dream or Shaq at 5 for me for the rest of time.
Crazy how players give Kobe respect, but the media, unathletic people who have never played basketball, hate on him 😂
Don't nobody hate on Kobe stop the 🧢. It wasn't until after his death that people start elevating him to top 5 status(he's not) even more ridiculous the 1b bullsh*t. He was a top 15 all-time player plain and simple

Bill Russel was a near Olympic athlete. Legit…more than just 2 sports too. You can see the insane ability, reach, reading, sprinting the floor and commanding the paint. Russell was a freak athlete man.

No cap, this was absolutely great to watch. KG bringing that energy. Professor being as humble as we all know him to be.
For the record, my top 5 if I'm trying to win 20mil would be...
1. Steph Curry
2. Michael Jordan
3. LeBron James
4. Tim Duncan
5. Wilt Chamberlain
With the exception of Curry, all of these players in their prime were dominant both on offense AND defense.

Magic, Bird, MJ, Hakeem and....Curry/Jokic/Kareem or maybe Tmac.
I love seeing how many people have Hakeem in their top 5, because I don't hear him mentioned enough as the top center of all time. That being said, KG said it's on the blacktop. Meaning there's no free throws. For this, shouldn't Shaq be everyone's choice at the 5?
The Dream is underrated!

@@FreedomFighter2112 Wrong numbers. Wrong concept. First, why only 50 years? You don't include Russell, who would have at least 16 (11 titles, 5 MVP's). Second, many of those awards didn't exist in Russell and Wilt's era. You have totally skewed the "perspective" of your list.
MJ (MVP, DPOY, Scoring Champ)
Kobe (81 Points)
Bron (Finals 50 Point Triple Double)
KG (Minnesota Prime)
Hakeem (Finals Sweep)
Steph (2015 MVP)
This is my squad and the versions of the players I’d take. KD. Doctor J. D Wilkins. Wilt. Bill. Those are my personal favorites.
The list goes on…
For me personally I'm running
Hakeem
Timmy
Lebron
Michael
Stockton
You could argue that this player or that player might be better at a position. I will argue that in terms of a team game this lineup will crush every other lineup out there.
nah Stockton is nasty lmao
I can get with that. If Hakeem isn’t in your top 5. Well you just don’t know basketball
My only issue with the list is, what can Stockton do that magic can't? I guess shoot?
@jetsettech8804 Stockton is a much much better defender. It more thank makes up for what you lose on offense. Especially in this lineup where no one will ever focus on him defensively.
Magic is my favorite player all time though.
@Adamdidit no no you have a point, he is better defensively.
Curry, MJ, Lebron, KD, Wilt. Unstoppable. I only went KD over Kobe because he would be a better fit as a PF and can space the floor better.
Magic, MJ, Steph, Rodman, Jokic. Unbeatable.
Steph, MJ, KD, KG, Hakeem. We got range, length, defense, inside scoring, and rebounding.
There’s 3 people on that team that can’t shoot 😂
@@benalexander5010 i got all that too
@@killybass3925 that's quite an interesting statement - so who's the third who can't shoot?
@@killybass3925 three? You saying MJ is the third? Damn, kids these days talking about being able to shoot is basically saying 'can he shoot the three'. Bro, there is SO MUCH MORE to shooting than jacking it up from three. MJ was probably the greatest mid range shooter of all time, he was also a great finisher with insane acrobatic ability to change and alter his shot depending on where the defenders were. You saying just because he shot 32% from three that he's not a good shooter? You're insane. There's something else you are missing....the three point shot has become LESS efficient the last two seasons than the two point shot, the league is evolving away from the three point line and back to the paint. The last five MVPs were awarded to three bigs, Jokic who is a career 34% three point shooter, Embiid a career 33% from deep and Giannis a career 28% from three. Last season the two point shot was worth 1.096 points per attempt while the three was worth 1.083 points per attempt. The season prior it was 1.066 per two and 1.062 per three. For many seasons prior to that the three point shot was more efficient. That's changing.
Steph
MJ
KD
LBJ
Jokic
Maybe not the best defensively, but this team can sure put the ball into the hole...with every possession XD
Take out lbj and put Larry Bird and be unstopable👍
@@sirmi9868 Bird over Bron?? lol
@@sirmi9868Ah yes let’s take out the more athletic and better defensive player. Prime lebron is the greatest SF ever and it’s not even a debate.

1. Magic
2. Michael
3. Larry
4. Bill Russell
5. Wilt
I'd win.
Scrolled down a saw yours. Great minds...
@@wjlintz damn right!! Can't ask for a better 5. Perfect blend of skill,iq and athleticism!!
@@jasonwaznak5825how is it a perfect blend if you don’t have 3 point shooting lol
@@Yungdil Larry? 😢
@@robertstrong59 that’s one. In todays nba that team would lose just from only having one 3 point shooter
BILL RUSELL & WILT FRONT COURT WOULD BE SO CRAZY😳
Great duo
man there is 4k footage out there from the 60s that will change your mind about how good those guys where back then....Wilt was fast..I mean really fast...and then he took these fall away shots of the backboard ...if Wilt came in the league today the whole league would have to adapt to him ...make no mistake
False. He was just ahead of his time. He would have to adapt to the new rules. Reason why that era has ridiculous records that will never be broken. It was a weaker era. Those records wouldn’t be done in the 80s and up
@@MannyParadisee also false...the numbers are created because of pace...but always remember Wilt is the most dominant player ever...if he played today he'd be stronger,quicker,better trained,no handchecking, he could put his shoulder down, spacing, no chuck taylors
@@MannyParadisee Wilt is literally better than Giannis in every single way there is not a single area in which Giannis is better than him and he is a top 3 player in the league right now so you dont think a prime Wilt would be dominating today's league
@@petiteexplication6249wilt wouldn't dominate today. He would still be an amazing player. But all of that 100 point nonsense would never happen if he went against actual athletes, and I don't mean that as disrespect.

Damn the professor getting old. I’ll never forget that summer watching the and 1 mixtape tour when it came on ESPN. Makes me feel old.
Listen wilt and Russel are so underrated its not even funny those two still more athletic in their prime then anyone today.
I love how KG said he would guard Shaq so confindently.😊
Not saying he's great at it but he's been on the court with him enough times to know what he's saying
@JasonRodriguez-kq7jt I'm good
@@silewis9396lol he was great at it
Hard to guard Shaq in the post but kg will jus take Shaq to the perimeter and shot jumpers on em.
@shawnmarques7117 KG broke up his no trade clause to leave the West cuz Duncan and Shaq was giving him the biz
Stockton, Jordan, Bird, Rodman, Olajuwon.
Stockton and Rodman just keep coming at you and do all the dirty work.
I have 3 of the same 5 but for me:
Magic, Bird, MJ, Hakeem and....Curry/Jokic/Kareem or maybe Tmac. That last spot depends on what I may need.
@@jlui21 what wrong with you man . magic = bird = jokic together ? game of passing ? choose one of these 3 is enough...
@@rizaalfian1396 -- Is it enough? Nah, I'm going all in on: Motion offense.
Plus: Jokic shot 46FG from the 3pt this past postseason and is possibly a Top 5 postman (along with Hakeem, Duncan, McHale, etc). Bird is a killer and is subjectively 2nd to MJ in the closing minute of any game for the game winner. Magic played Center as rookie in Game 6 of the 1980 Finals to win FMVP -- going for 42/15/7 without Kareem in the lineup.
I got Kareem/Shaq lineup too!
Iverson, Jordan, Kobe, Kareem, Shaq
Got paint dominated. Best wings ever. MVP Iverson at point because he shredded entire teams by himself ...with NOBODY to pass to. He's a "playmaker" on my team.
I like this lineup. I got 3/5 of them on my list too. Shaq, Hakeem, Dr. J, Jordan and Iverson. Everybody forget about Dr. J.

There is only one ball and you have Iverson, Jordan and Kobe on the court together.
Jordan, Sir Charles, Duncan, Shaq, and surprisingly Stockton. There are enough scorers. You need the all-time steal and assist king to get the others the ball.
I took Stockton as well no surprise he is so underrated.

Chamberlain, Russell, Lebron, Jordan, Kobe 👏
thats shit kobe n jordan on the team means nothing but volume shooting
Love the sarcasms with the who’s guarding Shaq 😂
My guy KG , love u bro , my favorite player ever
"I'm gonna throw everyone for a loop with this one, but..."
Muggsy Bogues at the 4
KG is one of the very few that Always shows respect to Wilt coz he knows how unbelievable Wilt was.
Forget all the BS and just focus on the player in that era with all the rule changes and many will agree there’s not 1 better than Wilt.
Dennis Rodman at the 4 for some mind games.
Respect to Grayson Boucher for going out in public with that haircut
KD, MJ, Bron(PG) , Tim, Shaq
The length alone (PAUSE), is a problem, defense would be insane.
And you'd still lose to a decent modern team because KD is your only shooter to space the floor......
@@Saxandfifths Who’s Stopping Shaq. Answer me that?
@@kingkoopa654 his ability to guard whatever big man is spacing the floor. I love Shaq but idk, man, I'm imagining a team built like GSW + Jokic as a big and I just don't see your squad beating that because of the spacing. Shaq was a FT liability as well. Your squad could work, I guess I'm just a prisoner of the moment with this Space & Pace era.
I'm a Lifetime Lakers fan, so I'm well aware of Shaq's utter dominance... But Steph is also my favorite player from this era and I've seen how he's mad the old school style obsolete. So it could go either way for me.
I certainly don't think or mean to imply your squad is bad, though. I'm literally imagining Steph, MJ, KD (or Bron), Giannis, Jokic (or Hakeem) to beat them. Not a squad of role players or anything. Lol
@@Saxandfifths How many fouls you think Joker & Giannis would pick up trying to guard Shaq?
@@kingkoopa654 very fair point and I've considered that myself. But if we are being unbiased, both sets of bigs would be in foul trouble. Shaq was not a two-way Big like that, even he will admit it. So I can't see him stopping Joker or Giannis, same like I know Giannis and Joker can't hope to stop Shaq. Lol
KG is awesome. Big KG fan!
I’m going Steph and Jordan my goodness they would be so nice together. Hakeem at the 4 with his baseline jumper and defense. Shaq in the middle cause he is… well no one can stop him unless they want to foul out.
I need more shooting and just in case anyone wants to get in a fight Larry Bird at the 3.
Steph
Jordan
Kobe
Larry bird
Wilt
My squad is all big dogs. Jokic at the 1, Karl-Anthony Towns at the 2, Joel Embiid at the 3, Yao Ming at the 4, and Dikembe Mutombo at the 5.
PG: Magic Johnson
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Charles Barkley
C: Wilt Chamberlain
Russell, Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Cousy. The game has changed. Up until this century, a round baller had to be able to dribble with one hand and street fight with the other. Today's game is much kinder and gentler. Today, there is more perimeter shooting. Back in the day, the game plan was always get in the paint, fight for position, and take the high percentage shot. Even your best perimeter shooters back then passing and getting in the paint. It's a different game today.
These two are basketball Gawds
To me the real game changer from the 90s to present was someone who's never taken into consideration: Manute Bol.
He showed the league that even a 7'7" center could shoot the 3s and that led to the evolution from point-guard to point-forward with the following generation of big men progressively playing more and more away from the paint (Duncan, Nowitzki, KAT, Porzingis, ... ) until the ultimate phenomenon the Point-Center: Nikola Jokic.
Ciao 🇮🇹
I grew up as a Bullets/Wizards fan, and I gotta say Manute, despite his size, was simply just not that good. He had one or two streaky shooting games, but dude hit 21% on his career from 3. If there was an OG Unicorn, it was undoubtedly Ralph Sampson

The smartest move putting Bill Russell on Shaquille O'Neal because the first time shaq got out of hand against Bill Russell, Wilt would on the next play watch and then grab shaq and throw him out of the way....Wilt hardly ever bothered about being hurt himself (except in some notorious incidents) but you attacked or hurt one of his teammates or especially a friend like Bill Russell and Wilt who hated bullying would move giants around the floor like tea-cups....
Not that Bill Russell couldnt handle himself because he feared no one on the basketball court....but wilt was beyond special on the basketball court, a giant with speed, athleticism, stamina off the charts and power and strength that no other player in the nba ever had....
Could you imagine it happening....Shaquille O'Neal for all his size never met two defensive greats like Bill Russell or Wilt in his entire career....even Rodman wasn't the defender that Bill Russell was and Bill was fast over short distances and had good stamina....
Bills cackle as shaq was moved by Wilt would be a Joy and to see the Big Dipper (big guy) on the court tirelessly demonstrating his finesse game of basketball that Shak never had and a peak Wilt had the number on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.... Kareem would score but Wilt and Bill Russell would cut his scoring down by 10, 15 points and shaq wouldn’t be able to push wilt back....if three nba players holding onto wilt couldnt stop Wilt, shaq couldn't move him....
Wilt played his career holding back. Well he did let go a few times and it was something out of a movie. Imagine breaking an opponent's foot when he dunked so hard and hit said opponent in the foot 🤣
Then the other occasion when he lifted another opponent off the floor on the way to dunking the ball. Lol
I remember him shaking Shaq's hand like he can rip his arms off its socket.🤣🤣🤣 Crazy how he made Shaq looked so small. He had longer and bigger arms than Shaq.
J-Kidd, AI, Kobe, KG, Big Shaq Nash, Ray Allen, T-Mac, Dirk and Timmy ready to go off the bench
LITTLE KNOWN FACT
(and facts aren't up for agreement)
back in Bill Russell and
WILT's rivalry NBA rule was
3 shots at making 2 free throws.
Little-known fact: doing your actual research is important. Nobody agrees with you because your fact is wrong. The rules had changed before either of them stepped foot on an NBA court... Edit: this was incorrect on my part. See below.
@@kobicooper8762 Little known fact, you did not do your research; the 3for2 rule came into effect 1954 and lasted until 1981. This rule gave 3for2 if the opposing team was over the foul limit. I was alive during that time and hated the rule as it rewarded players for not practicing.
@@kobicooper8762 Ooh,
I ain't even have to checkmate your
ignorance, THE UNIVERSE did it for me
because;
'GOD Don't Like Ugly!' .
@@jameslaughter5183 you are correct sir... I totally read that wrong - I thought it was abolished in 54-55 not instated. My bad. I started following in 83 just after it was cancelled and so don't remember it.
Though it should be noted that as you said, this was only if the fouling team was over the limit (and later on for all flagrant fouls). Otherwise it should have been 2 for 2. Apparently it was a penalty for teams for excessive fouling and slowing down the game- as opposed to not practicing. Imagine if we had this rule in place in the 80's when everybody was fouling each other non-stop :)

Nobody is beating that team. Shaq was left out to improve team defence and stamina. His dominance at the rim was not required with so many players who can shoot and score from everywhere.
With Kareem and Wilt in the paint, you’re already going to score up high.
Duncan was left out, I’d be interested to hear an argument for having him rather than just the second centre in Kareem.
Where is your spacing ?
@@ImbetterthanDWade
Wilt in the low post, Kareem high post, Lebron wing, Jordan corner, magic outside the arc. With any amount of rotation and movement you like. They’d barely need spacing lol.
Magic brings it up, Lebron or Jordan get the ball and work their magic, ball ends up with wilt or Kareem whenever necessary (they pretty much always win the ball and score when they have it sent into their giant athletic frames).
@@mick9707so no spacing lol

Respect to KG for putting Bill Russell and Wilt. Imagine Bill Russell and Wilt born in this era with all the training, nutrition, coaching, and weight lifting, etc. Wembayama who?
Wilt was very strong. I've heard it over the years and Arnold Schwarzenegger said it as well in his recent Netflix documentary.
on any starting 5, there's always going to be one common denominator and his name is Jordan
Kg is the only problem on his only line up 😂
Love how KG makes it blacktop so he has a shot to get picked over Duncan. No one ever talks about how they played in converse Chuck Ts back in the day.
After seeing Bill offer his ring to KG, you know he aint gonna leave him off list now. RIP Bill
Shaq, Kobe, Magic, Jordan, Jokic vs Wilt, Bill Russell, Steph, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Petrovic
For my starting 5 I am looking at who would make the team better not necessarily the best 5 ever. I'm going with:
PG- Gary Payton
SG- Michael Jordan
SF- Kevin Durant
PF- Kevin Garnett
C- Bill Russell
You are crazy
Magic, Michael, Kobe, Hakeem, & Shaq...GAME OVER.
Steph (sorry magic I need shooting with this squad) , Mike, Lebron, Tim Duncan(kg my favorite player of all time too), Hakeem. Argue with your momma.
In the last 50 years, Career Résumé - Total Achievements: (Titles, MVPs, Finals MVPs, 1st All-NBA, 1st All-DEF, 50-40-90)

*Minimum is 1 Title and 1 MVP
**BTW, Jokic has 7 at this point
That’s just to put things into perspective
One of the few times I'm not upset about Duncan not being picked because this is street ball. If you're building a basketball franchise, not having Duncan as your 4 is insane.
KG is spot on with Wilt and Russell.
On Blacktop My 5
Kyrie
Kobe
TMac
Z-Bo
Shaq
We beating teams up and we getting buckets. We got Kyrie to put on a show with his handles and shot making,
Kobe to be athletic and be ultra competitive. TMac because simple nobody stopping him 1 on 1. ZBo because if we playing on the streets I want the dude who even if he dont get fouled and he say he did you have to give him the ball because you know he will knock you clean out. Then Big Diesel because nobody stopping him.
Wilt could probably stop Shaq. The guy, in his forties, threw Arnold Schwarzenegger like a ragged doll, according to Arnold.
Magic, Jordan, Lebron, Duncan, Wilt... You're welcome
Good mix of players they choose, most old players just pick players from their generation when there are plenty of better options out there
1st team: Stockton, West, Bird, McHale, Jokic
2nd team: West, Maravich, Havlicek, Pettit, Mikan
When picking your team you have to set the rules. 3 pt line? 3 seconds in key for defender. Hand check Flagrant fouls. (No lay ups) There even used to be a 3 to make 2 free throw rule
Starting 5: Hakeem, Bird, Duncan, Jordan, and Stockton.
Backup: Shaq, Malone, Pippen, Kobe, and Payton.
Funny that you have Stockton and Malone on opposite teams.
@@JAS30411 Good catch. I did that because I wanted to balance the offense a bit. I remember growing up, I always envisioned Stockton and MJ being the ultimate backcourt (IMO).
@@rudimerm7686 I didn't realize you had them as backups, I thought it was the opposite team. In any case, both of those lineups are great teams in my opinion.
@@JAS30411 Yes, either way, I separated John and Karl (almost like peanut butter and jelly) because I did not want it to be a pick and roll game. I remember the all star games, John and Karl would make it look like a Jazz game at times.
Lastly, I chose the team because of court chemistry, defense, and fundamentals (with the exception of Shaq's FT%).
It's a simple exercise Professor.. you pick 4 people. It took dude 5 damn minutes lol
As a diehard Spurs fan since 1997-Present, it'll be hard for me to pick anyone other than a Spur, but if I had to pick other players w a Spur:
C - Kareem
PF - Duncan
SF - Pimpin' Pippen
SG - T- Mac
PG - Iverson
KG could pull up to my cookout anytime
For those who know, where or what is the black top? This question about playing there comes up a lot.
Back in the day (my day) a lot of public b-ball courts were paved in asphalt; in the summer don't stand still or your shoes would melt. I played before Nike MJ's, almost every one had Chuck Taylor Converse All-Stars. You could always find a game.
@@jameslaughter5183 Okay, thanks a lot. I thought it was a specific court like the Rucker. Interesting.
Good picks. Iverson, Havlicek, Dr. J, Larry Bird, Shaq.
KG’s point guard is a whole foot taller than his shooting guard
Steph, Jordan, Pippen, Gianis, Shaq
*kareem and shaq is GG already. unstoppable skyhook team up with unstoppable force. u need 5 players just to guard those two.*
KG is going down. AI will be like 'PRACTICE' 🤣
No disrespect but that name 'The Professor' kills me everytime lmao
PG- T.Mac
SG- AIRness
SF- Black Mamba
PF- Duncan
C- Shaq
Magic, MJ, Kobe (SF) , Bird (PF), Wilt
Russell, Stockton, MJ, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain.
Kg shiny as hell
John Stockton , Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon

KG is always on 😂
Steph MJ Kobe Bron Shaq
Firts person I've seen make sense of modern NBA
The Carry & Hand Check were married to each other, then they eliminated the Hand check and gave the Gather step.
The guy who's interviewing KG is "The Professor" -- right? It looks like it could be him.
Magic, Kobe, Pipp, Robinson, Shaq
