Unfortunately it’s the Lakers

Philly you out Shaq

He and Kobe push LA over the top

If you could argue O’Neal also for Orlando, then starting 5 the Magic are as good as any

Shaq
Dwight Howard
Tracy McGrady
Penny Hardaway (Before the knee)
Grant Hill (Before the knee)
Paolo Banchero’s name is going to be high

So you're asking for the greatest collective of players to make up a roster.
I was thinking of the greatest to play together like the 1927 New York Yankees Murders Row.

I believe Garnett only played 6 or 7 seasons with Boston, but 12 for Minnesota. Wilt played 5 seasons with the Lakers and won a title. Lebron 7 seasons with Lakers and counting.
Ok so take Garnett off Boston. Wilt belongs to Philly, he not only played for them but was also born and raised there. LeBron was drafted into the league by Cleveland and won a championship there, I think he belongs to them.

Thanks for the big font. My eyes aren't so great anymore. I don't think you need to take Garnett off Boston. He did great things there. I was noting how you didn't like someone saying Shaq should be on the Lakers all-time greats list (8 seasons, in his prime). I know Wilt played longer with Philly. He also did great things with the Lakers for many seasons. Hopefully Lebron will still do good/great things with the Lakers.
