Pistol Pete-Curry-Bird-Dirk-Malone, the best passer of all time with really good shooters.

Re: Best starting 5 of all time?
Stephen Curry
Michael Jordan
Kawhi Leonard or KD
Lebron James
Hakeem Olajuwon
Suffocating defense with only one average defender ( Curry ) with 4 other players that are defensive player of the year worthy that can guard multiple positions. Great spacing, Steph and Kawhi are elite threepoint shooters and Mike, Lebron and Hakeem are all great midrange shooters so the spacing should be really good. 4 elite passers/playmakers, elite slashing, most of the guys can easily play the offball role and everyone is a great iso scorer.
can't double team anyone because of great spacing and great passing this team can't be stopped.

Giannis isn't even a top 5 player right now. And he's certainly not a great fit player since he can't shoot. He just clogs the lane for Jordan and LeBron.

Kevin Durant will provide spacing from the 5.
I'll take my chances with that starting 5 against anyone. I have athleticism, length, rim protection, perimeter defense, switching, playmaking across the board, shot makers, rebounding, etc.
