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

PG - Penny Hardaway
SG - Tracy McGrady
SF - Dennis Scott
PF - Dwight Howard (out of Position, I know, deal with it)
C - Shaq

Here we go again.

PG: Scott "Yes, my 30 dimes in one game is still the record" Skiles
SG: Penny "I destroy coaches" Hardaway
SF: Tracy "I quit because Weisbrod forgot my birthday" McGrady
PF: Dwight "Shaq who?" Howard
C: Shaquille "Don't hurt me, Dwight" O'Neal

Bench: Darrell Armstrong, Nick Anderson, Mike Miller, Dennis Scott, Horace Grant, Bo Outlaw

Players that were actually on the roster (no Chris Webber) in their primes:
PG: Penny Hardaway/Chauncey Billups/Steve Francis
SG: Tracy McGrady/Mike Miller/Dennis Scott
SF: Grant Hill/Dominique Wilkins/Rashard Lewis
PF: Dwight Howard/Shawn Kemp/Horace Grant
C: Shaquille O'Neal/Patrick Ewing/Ben Wallace

Cuts: Hedo Turkoglu, Nick Anderson, Cuttino Mobely, Scott Skiles, Corey Maggette.

Starting lineup is amazing, lots of unselfish perimeter players who can score combined with unstoppable interior players, who also anchor the defense. Good backup scoring at every position, defensive roleplayers, and 3pt shooters.

Miller over Nick...?

Damn, the off season sucks.

PG: Penny
SG: TMac (even though he's dead to me)
SF: Nick
PF: Ho-G
C: Shaq

finals no problem, 105ppg average, giving up only 88ppg...no sweat...

Ranked based on their total on court contribution to the franchise

PG: Hardaway/Armstrong/Skiles
SG: Anderson/Miller/Reynolds
SF: McGrady/Scott/Turkoglu
PF: Grant/Outlaw/Catledge
C: O'Neal/Howard/Seikaly

Ditto.

Penny/Skiles
Anderson/Armstrong
TMac/Scott
Howard/Turkoglu
Shaq/Grant

Agree with TheGlyde...well done. Grant Hill hurt us too much to be included.

Shaq

PG- Travis Diener
SG- Kenny Smith
SF - Jeff Turner
PF - Otis Smith**
C- Tree Rollins

All in their primes?

PG- Hardaway/Billups
SG- McGrady/Anderson
SF- Hill/Turkoglu
PF- Kemp/Grant
C- O'Neal/Howard

Yeah, I put Grant Hill in there...he was sick before he came to the Magic. And by sick, I don't mean he was in and out of the hospital.

Penny/Skiles
Nick/Maggs
T-Mac/Turk
H Grant/Turner
Dwight/Shaq

Wow, this is tough to narrow down but my "fav 5" would have to be:

Chemistry Team:
Skiles
Anderson
Turkoglu
Grant
Howard

Numbers Team:
Hardaway
McGrady
Hill
Grant
Oneal or Howard
