If I'm trying to construct the best defensive lineup ever, it begins with Russell, and I put Frazier at the 1...
I remember your posts from the RPOY project, you consistently brought it. Please continue to do so, sir. This board needs guys like you to counteract ... worthless posters

Probably:
Payton
Jordan
Pippen
Garnett/Duncan
Hakeem/Russell
Tough to decide among the bigs. I could also see Payton being swapped out for Frazier. There were comparable/more consistent man-to-man defenders than Jordan (e.g., Moncrief), but Jordan's team/help/disruptive defense gets him the nod imo. That lineup would be murder, and is a surprisigly great offensive team, too.

1. Gary Payton
2. Sydney Moncrief
3. Scottie Pippen
4. Tim Duncan
5. Hakeem Olajuwon
If strictly going by the position they commonly played in their career.
but if you're going to go around mixing and cross matching and having players play outside of their typical position you can have better defensive lineups than this one.
