Best NBA Lineup Ever?

What do you think was the best NBA lineup? I'll start with the.....

02'-05' Sacramento Kings:

PG: Mike bibby

SG: Doug Christie

SF: Peja Stojakovic

PF: Chris Webber

C: Vlade Divac/Brad Miller

Best 6th man: Bobby Jackson.

In my opinion, this lineup is more exciting than the Current Phoenix Suns. If it wasn't for Horry, the Kings would probably have won the Finals.

The Bulls had Jordan and Pippen but the other guys were mediocre at best! All Rodman could do was grab boards and look like an idiot! The other two aren't even worth mentioning!

The Celtics team that was mentioned was better and I know there were a couple of Laker teams that were great too (Worthy, Erving, Kareem, etc) and would stomp the Bulls. I also have to say that this years Mav team is pretty good themselves. They have some solid players and know how to shoot the ball as well as play some good D. The only issue this thread has is that all the teams were in different eras so you can't really compare them because the competition was different. Personally, I think the Jazz teams that went to the Championship game twice agains the Bulls were very good teams that had an overall better lineup than the 96 Bulls... Jordan was just too good by himself though. You take him out of the equation and the other guys are decent at best and that team doesn't do much at all! One guys doesn't make the lineup great!

Rodman was the main reason the Bulls won their next 3-peat. They were a "donut team" until he came there.

How can you guys forget the 1986 Boston Celtics or 1987 L.A. Lakers? These teams would have made short work of the gimmicky 1996 Bulls (heck, even the 1992 Bulls would have beat the 1996 Bulls). These teams applied strategy.AHUGECAT

Show Time lakers or Celtics (Bird, Parish, Mchale...)

Thought I'd resurrect this just because..:shock:

bull in the 90s>lakers shaq/kobe/fisher etc/03 mavs

96 Bulls Randy Brown | Jud Buechler | Jason Caffey | James Edwards | Jack Haley | Ron Harper | Michael Jordan | Steve Kerr | Toni Kukoc | Luc Longley | Scottie Pippen | Dennis Rodman | John Salley | Dickey Simpkins | Bill Wennington | Coach Phil Jackson They won the most games ever. What more do you want?SuperSaiyanLink

Best record does'nt always mean best line-up.

Show time Lakers or Bird Celtics at their peak are better "line-ups" or better collection of talent than any MJ Bulls team, imo. I beleive either of those teams could have hung with and/or beat the Bulls, even the team that lost 10 games. I'm not even trying to go back the the Russell/Chamberlain ere, yet.

How would those Bulls deal with the Celtics front line of Bird, Parish and Mchale, along with a decent defender to possibly slow MJ down (Dennis Johnson, who could score also) + some solid role players.

The show-time Lakers also had a pretty good defender in Michael Cooper to possible slow MJ down or make him work harder and be less effective, along with a whole slew of very good to great players. IMO it's not a given that the Bulls had the best squad ever.

The Celtics had what some consider consider the best front court ever in Bird, Parish & Mchale. Bird is unquestionably one of the best players ever, Mchale is one of the best power forwards ever(Barkely said Mchale is the best he's played against) and Parish is a competent center that in his prime could give you about 20pts/10rbs, plus was a decent defender.Throw in Bill Walton who was slowed by injuries but was good enough to get 6th man of the year award.

The Celtics had great shooters too, Bird, Danny Ainge, Jerry Sighting. We know about Bird. but Ainge shot 50% during the 85-86 title season and Sichting shot 57%! from the field. They also were very good 3pt shooters. So there's your spot up shooters when Bird or Mchale had to be doubled. Throw in a good 2-way player in Dennis Johnson who could score 15+, play great defense and hit clutch shots.Birds passing, Boston's front court/back court play, bench and over-all team play.......etc.,......

Just saying, the Celtics(and Show-time Lakers)were a great team and it's certainly not a given that the Bulls had the best line-up ever.

In my opinion, and I know alot of people arent going to agree with me. I think the 03-04 Pistons were a really good lineup. They basically DESTROYED the Lakers in the finals. They all worked together as a whole team and thats what I liked about that line up, there wasnt one superstar that would just be the only dominant scorer. With Billups, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Tayshaun Prince all playing together.

That was avery good squad.

Most Exciting???

Probably the Lakers in the 80s.

Seriously, if you watch any Magic Johnson highlights, you'd be in awe. Give me a slick pass to an ally-opp dunk anyday over fade-away Jordan jumpshots.

Best line-up of all-time would have to be the 60s Celtics:

8-Straight Championships

11 Championships in 13 years.

Enough said.
