The all-time Warriors 5 is a legitimate perfect fit.
They have a Goat level rebounder and Rim protector in Wilt.
They have Goat level shooters in Steph and Klay.
They have a Goat level help defender in Green
They have a Goat Iso scorer in Durant or Barry
I honestly couldn't see another team beating them in a seven-game series.
A Wilt/Green/Durant frontcourt would just be to much to deal with for other frontlines
What team has the most well balanced all time starting 5?

Reggie Jackson is amazing and a killer in the clutch that's all.

You can also go with Porter/Lillard/Drexler/Wallace/Walton lineup if you want more spacing. Very interesting team indeed. Wallace vs Lucas is also a tough call.

Magic
West
Kobe
LeBron*
Kareem
* Gasol or Worthy if LeBron is cheating, Wilt or Shaq if you go full **** FIT
is as balanced as it gets, every single one of them is a high-tier MVP caliber player lol. Boston and San Antonio lack all-time guards to match their all-time bigs.

This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

Re: What team has the most well balanced all time starting 5?
Milwaukee has extremely strong team as well:
Oscar Robertson
Sidney Moncrief
Marques Johnson
Giannis Antetokumpo
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Elite defense, though spacing could be an issue - you can go with Ray Allen instead of Squid then. You can also go with Dandridge or Jrue as well for even more ridiculous defense. Imagine the lineup of Jrue/Squid/Bob/Giannis/KAJ on defensive end
Philly:
Maurice Cheeks
Hal Greer
Julius Erving
Moses Malone
Wilt Chamberlain
Lack of spacing again is an issue, but you can try to work with Schayes, Cunningham, Jones and Embiid to create a better lineup. Actually, a lineup of Cheeks/Greer/Julius/Schayes with one of Wilt/Moses/Embiid sounds nice.
Suns is fun:
Steve Nash
Paul Westphal
Connie Hawkins
Charles Barkley
Alvan Adams
KJ, Marion, Paul, Bridges, Amare off the bench.

okc
adams/durant/george/20 chris paul/westbrook
shai, ibaka, thabo and even roberson off the bench
that team can play old and new school basketball with anyone and play great in both ends, incredibly deep with options
