    Most of the time when I see these lineups, they don't take chemistry or guys playing a set role into account, just an attempt to stack the deck with talent.

    Curry, Klay, Kawhi, Durant, Dwight would beat them.

    Maybe, but the amount of time you spend living on this board, there's no way you find time to watch basketball, so YOU wouldn't be able to say. I'll wait for others.

    All the guys in my OP have high bbIQ, they could easily play together.

    Joker has never played next to a big like Duncan who doesn't shoot 3s. The time I saw him share the floor with Plumlee years ago, the Nuggets were worse for it. He's always been best with a small ball 4: Milsap, Grant, Gordon.

    MJ and Lebron trying to fit will be clunky. You're right, they are all smart, but I think the offense would be very bumpy at times with that team. They have multiple guys who want the ball in their hands and occupy the same spaces on the floor.

    Not sure id call millsap a small ball 4. He came in as the ncaa rebound champ and an old school bruiser who developed a modern game

    By the time he got to the Nuggets, he wasn't that same player. Utah, possibly part of ATL, maybe.

    Curry/MJ would be "off-ball" pretty much the entire time. Jokic/Lebron would be running the offense (they can both space the floor if needed). Duncan is the only one who might have an awkward fit, but his BBIQ/Passing/Defense make up for it.

    Honestly any time I think of an all-time starting five, the PF position is the hardest to figure out. You could go Dirk, but you don't really get defense rebounding. Duncan, KG, Giannis all have the same issue of not really spacing the floor to the 3 point line. You could go small ball and slot Bird/Durant at the 4 possibly?
