Yahoo Sports have created their own mini-series on their website. They take one team and break down the “NBA’s all-time starting five” by each position, and without any limits on who they pick. The most recent edition features the Los Angeles Clippers, and it’s pretty interesting!
The article is prefaced with the following:
“Because we don’t like making tough decisions, the lineups will reflect the All-NBA line of thinking. There will be no differentiation between separate forward and guard positions, and the squads will be chosen after careful consideration of individual merits only – we don’t really care if your team’s top shooting guard and point guard don’t get along.
These rankings will roll out based on when each franchise began its NBA life. We continue with the Los Angeles Clippers, who you can root for without hating yourself now!”
I don’t want to give away who their top five are so I’ll reference this paragraph to give you a feel of their thinking:
“It truly is hard to overstate just how much of an odd duck the 2005-06 Clippers were. Not only did they come out of nowhere to act as a championship contender, incredibly strange for players wearing that uniform, but their style of play (corner threes, sound and efficient choices with midrange jumpers, good looks close at the basket) was ahead of its time. Sam Cassell, acquired along with two first-round picks for Marko Jaric the summer before, should always be beloved amongst those who suffered through the Sterling years.”
Who would you pick as your top 5? Would any of today’s players be on the list? Let us know!
