Maybe the best balanced starting 5 ever.

I'm not sure if I am supposed to like the Pacers being number 2 or not. That's a good thing right?

Shows how bad our backups are, considering most of those teams on the list are playoff teams, besides the Warriors who somehow have two rotations in the top 20.

Balanced was the key word. Not best, not greatest, not biggest, not smallest. It's a bold, interesting statement to make, but it's not too farfetched.

Except it's not.
Where's the go to wing scorer? I see no one who can create a shot for themself on that team. Just pure shooters in Nash, Dudley and Frye.

This list is skewed because some teams haven't had as much playing time together, like the Heat. Nevertheless, still impressive.

It's also worthy to note that +/- per minute is a more telling statistic, and that lineup does not rate as highly when it comes to that. As an example, that lineups +/- per minute is .271, where as the third lineup on that list (Wade-James-Bosh-Anthony-Chalmers) is .362.
