Tough to not take my favorite players but If I had to put money on it or my life on it I'd have to pick my 5 like this.
Jordan
Shaq
Pippen
KG
And its a toss up from taking a PG like Nash or spreading the floor with T-Mac (We don't really need a PG but I'm not sure if that's the rules to have to pick one, Only way I'd grab Nash for this question)
But to have a defensive line up of Shaq/ KG guarding the rim and Jordan/ Pippen guarding the wings is absolutely insane. Then they are also some of the best offensively players in history as well. All 2 way players aside from Nash. T Mac was a decent defender but he could spread the floor and make things really nasty for any opposing team.
I hated not being able to toss Dirk or AI in there but that would be my bias talking over who I really believe on that list could make the best 5 especially since I think Dirk is marginally better than KG, I just wanted some of the best 2 way players up there. Dirk even in his prime wasn't a very good on ball defender neither was AI, Dirk was a good team/help side defender with quick hands under the basket and AI was a wizard in the passing lanes, Just not the same level of defenders as the other guys who could also get buckets easily. Dirk and AI are literally my 1a and 1b favorite players right after MJ.
Side note I just realized my picks were kinda chosen over playing in that 90s/2000s era. Them playing today would also probably work just fine and get you 82 but I might pick differently slightly if it were today's soft ass chuck up 3s style we have now...
