if you could select an All-Time Nets starting 5, (don't focus only on numbers but on "team-chemistry" as well), how would it look like?

sure, you can add a 6th man or a full bench as well.

Drazen was always my boy when I was a kid. He got me into the Nets. I cried the day he died. Got his throwback jersey and everything.

If we're looking at this as a legit basketball team/lineup, that group would be too undersized IMO. For that reason I'd probably replace Barry (who only played like 135 games with the Nets) for Coleman, despite his obviously character issues.

Honestly too, Julius was before my time. If I had to make my personal list it'd probably be something like this:

1. Drazen Petrovic
2. Kenyon Martin
3. Richard Jefferson
4. Jason Kidd
5. Jason Williams
6. Kerry Kittles
7. Jason Collins (yes...Jason Collins is in my top 10)
8. Derrick Coleman
9. Brian Scalabrine
10. Christian Drejer (yeah for giggles)

As far as bench players, Loucious Harris, Rodney Rogers and Aaron Williams were my favorites. All not really that great players but hustled their hearts out while in Nets uniforms.

Whoever didn't mention Scalabrine as the automatic starter at the 3 or 4 has failed miserably.
