Why The Professor & KG Picked These Guys For Their All-Time NBA Starting 5 | KG CERTIFIED 

Respect to KG for showing respect to legends of the game

Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain were triathlon athletes meaning THEY WERE TWO OF THE MOST ATHLETIC GUYS IN THE NBA EVER. Wilt chamberlain picked Arnold swarzeneggar up by the waste and put him on the hood of a car. Russell was a high jump champion and could touch the top of the backboard. Y’all gone miss me with the “Shaq was the most dominant player of all time BS” when he really flamed out at 32yrs old.

Bill Russel was a near Olympic athlete. Legit…more than just 2 sports too. You can see the insane ability, reach, reading, sprinting the floor and commanding the paint. Russell was a freak athlete man.

Crazy how players give Kobe respect, but the media, unathletic people who have never played basketball, hate on him 😂

No cap, this was absolutely great to watch. KG bringing that energy. Professor being as humble as we all know him to be. For the record, my top 5 if I'm trying to win 20mil would be... 1. Steph Curry 2. Michael Jordan 3. LeBron James 4. Tim Duncan 5. Wilt Chamberlain With the exception of Curry, all of these players in their prime were dominant both on offense AND defense.

KG choosing AI made me smile. I love AI.

MJ (MVP, DPOY, Scoring Champ) Kobe (81 Points) Bron (Finals 50 Point Triple Double) KG (Minnesota Prime) Hakeem (Finals Sweep) Steph (2015 MVP) This is my squad and the versions of the players I’d take. KD. Doctor J. D Wilkins. Wilt. Bill. Those are my personal favorites. The list goes on…

Yes! Garnett has it! Wilt & Russell on the same team!

1.Penny Hardaway,2.Tmac,3.KD,4.David Robinson,5. Hakeem Olajuwon as a unit they gone give you that work but just think going up against 1.kobe,2.MJ,3. Pippen, 4.Greek freak,5.Shaq that's match basketball

For me personally I'm running Hakeem Timmy Lebron Michael Stockton You could argue that this player or that player might be better at a position. I will argue that in terms of a team game this lineup will crush every other lineup out there.

Wilt and Russell excellent picks. Just got to add Bird, Magic, and Jordan.

Curry, MJ, Lebron, KD, Wilt. Unstoppable. I only went KD over Kobe because he would be a better fit as a PF and can space the floor better.

Stockton, Jordan, Bird, Rodman, Olajuwon. Stockton and Rodman just keep coming at you and do all the dirty work.

Lol! I really liked this segment

Steph MJ KD LBJ Jokic Maybe not the best defensively, but this team can sure put the ball into the hole...with every possession XD

Magic, MJ, Steph, Rodman, Jokic. Unbeatable.

BILL RUSELL & WILT FRONT COURT WOULD BE SO CRAZY😳

Listen wilt and Russel are so underrated its not even funny those two still more athletic in their prime then anyone today.

I love how KG said he would guard Shaq so confindently.😊

"I'm gonna throw everyone for a loop with this one, but..." Muggsy Bogues at the 4

Nice video ❤

Chamberlain, Russell, Lebron, Jordan, Kobe 👏

A.I, M.J, KOBE, K.Garnnet & Bill Russell. (bench) S.Curry, LBJ, T.Mac, Duncan & Shaq /// OMG dats killin everything

Dennis Rodman at the 4 for some mind games.

1:38 you ain’t gotta explain to me this yo shit😂😂😂😂kg funny as hell fr

man there is 4k footage out there from the 60s that will change your mind about how good those guys where back then....Wilt was fast..I mean really fast...and then he took these fall away shots of the backboard ...if Wilt came in the league today the whole league would have to adapt to him ...make no mistake

Damn the professor getting old. I’ll never forget that summer watching the and 1 mixtape tour when it came on ESPN. Makes me feel old.

My guy KG , love u bro , my favorite player ever

Jordan, Sir Charles, Duncan, Shaq, and surprisingly Stockton. There are enough scorers. You need the all-time steal and assist king to get the others the ball.

Love the sarcasms with the who’s guarding Shaq 😂

I got Kareem/Shaq lineup too! Iverson, Jordan, Kobe, Kareem, Shaq Got paint dominated. Best wings ever. MVP Iverson at point because he shredded entire teams by himself ...with NOBODY to pass to. He's a "playmaker" on my team.

Great duo

Im going 1. Abdul Rauf 2. Petrovic 3. Bernard King 4. Timmy D. 5. Hakeem

KG is one of the very few that Always shows respect to Wilt coz he knows how unbelievable Wilt was. Forget all the BS and just focus on the player in that era with all the rule changes and many will agree there’s not 1 better than Wilt.

My squad is all big dogs. Jokic at the 1, Karl-Anthony Towns at the 2, Joel Embiid at the 3, Yao Ming at the 4, and Dikembe Mutombo at the 5.

Respect to Grayson Boucher for going out in public with that haircut

Steph Jordan Kobe Larry bird Wilt

KG is awesome. Big KG fan!

These two are basketball Gawds

My starting 5: C - Hakeem Olajuwon PF - Kevin Garnett SF - Larry Bird SG - Michael Jordan PG - Steph Curry

Hakeem, Tim Duncan, KD, Jordan, and Jason Kidd.

PG: Magic Johnson SG: Michael Jordan SF: Larry Bird PF: Charles Barkley C: Wilt Chamberlain

KD, MJ, Bron(PG) , Tim, Shaq The length alone (PAUSE), is a problem, defense would be insane.

I’m going Steph and Jordan my goodness they would be so nice together. Hakeem at the 4 with his baseline jumper and defense. Shaq in the middle cause he is… well no one can stop him unless they want to foul out. I need more shooting and just in case anyone wants to get in a fight Larry Bird at the 3.

Russell, Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Cousy. The game has changed. Up until this century, a round baller had to be able to dribble with one hand and street fight with the other. Today's game is much kinder and gentler. Today, there is more perimeter shooting. Back in the day, the game plan was always get in the paint, fight for position, and take the high percentage shot. Even your best perimeter shooters back then passing and getting in the paint. It's a different game today.

Kobe , Kobe , Kobe , Kobe , Kobe

KG ooooo his own picks lol gotta love d nigga da respect be on full display😂😂😂

1 Steph curry 2 MJ 3 Kawhi 4 KD 5 Olajuwon The spacing and defense on this team is crazy

MJ, Kobe, LeBron, Shaq, Wilt.

To me a team needs to be able pass, play defense, play up tempo or slow it down, have complementary pieces, have outside range, have clutch performers, and have that dawg in them too. You need guys who can get their own shot and guys that can feed players. That’s why this is my all-time starting five. 1-Stockton 2-MJ 3-Bird 4-Duncan 5-Olajuwon

J-Kidd, AI, Kobe, KG, Big Shaq Nash, Ray Allen, T-Mac, Dirk and Timmy ready to go off the bench

Steph MJ LBJ Duncan Wilt

Magic, Jordan, LeBron, Duncan, Wilt

Kg is the only problem on his only line up 😂

To me the real game changer from the 90s to present was someone who's never taken into consideration: Manute Bol. He showed the league that even a 7'7" center could shoot the 3s and that led to the evolution from point-guard to point-forward with the following generation of big men progressively playing more and more away from the paint (Duncan, Nowitzki, KAT, Porzingis, ... ) until the ultimate phenomenon the Point-Center: Nikola Jokic. Ciao 🇮🇹

The smartest move putting Bill Russell on Shaquille O'Neal because the first time shaq got out of hand against Bill Russell, Wilt would on the next play watch and then grab shaq and throw him out of the way....Wilt hardly ever bothered about being hurt himself (except in some notorious incidents) but you attacked or hurt one of his teammates or especially a friend like Bill Russell and Wilt who hated bullying would move giants around the floor like tea-cups.... Not that Bill Russell couldnt handle himself because he feared no one on the basketball court....but wilt was beyond special on the basketball court, a giant with speed, athleticism, stamina off the charts and power and strength that no other player in the nba ever had.... Could you imagine it happening....Shaquille O'Neal for all his size never met two defensive greats like Bill Russell or Wilt in his entire career....even Rodman wasn't the defender that Bill Russell was and Bill was fast over short distances and had good stamina.... Bills cackle as shaq was moved by Wilt would be a Joy and to see the Big Dipper (big guy) on the court tirelessly demonstrating his finesse game of basketball that Shak never had and a peak Wilt had the number on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.... Kareem would score but Wilt and Bill Russell would cut his scoring down by 10, 15 points and shaq wouldn’t be able to push wilt back....if three nba players holding onto wilt couldnt stop Wilt, shaq couldn't move him....

KG is the perfect team for the professor on the black top

After seeing Bill offer his ring to KG, you know he aint gonna leave him off list now. RIP Bill

PG: ‘13 Lebron Wings: ‘09 Kobe, ‘93 Jordan Bigs: ‘95 Olajuwon, ‘80 Kareem

Good mix of players they choose, most old players just pick players from their generation when there are plenty of better options out there

Love how KG makes it blacktop so he has a shot to get picked over Duncan. No one ever talks about how they played in converse Chuck Ts back in the day.

MJ, Wilt, Bird, Magic, Hakeem.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar, David Robinson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant would be pretty tough to score on, and I think they can figure out between them how to score one point more than their opponents

I wouldn’t mind seeing how this team would be, Wilt, Giannis, MJ, Kobe, Magic

Good picks. Iverson, Havlicek, Dr. J, Larry Bird, Shaq.

Here's my starting 5 Pg: Marques Haynes (5'11/6'0) (160lb) Sg: Derek Smith (6'6) (205-220lb) (forward) Sf: Hank DeZonie (6'5/6'6) (215-220lb) (forward-guard) Pf: Maurice Stokes (6'6/6'7) (231-250lb) (plays all 5 positions) C: Bill Russell (6'9⅝/6'10) (220-245lb) (C)

When picking your team you have to set the rules. 3 pt line? 3 seconds in key for defender. Hand check Flagrant fouls. (No lay ups) There even used to be a 3 to make 2 free throw rule

One of the few times I'm not upset about Duncan not being picked because this is street ball. If you're building a basketball franchise, not having Duncan as your 4 is insane. KG is spot on with Wilt and Russell.

In the last 50 years, Career Résumé - Total Achievements: (Titles, MVPs, Finals MVPs, 1st All-NBA, 1st All-DEF, 50-40-90) 1) Jordan = 36 2) LeBron = 30 3) Kareem = 29 4) Kobe = 28 4) Duncan = 28 6) Magic = 20 7) Bird = 19 8) Dr. J = 17 9) Shaq = 16 9) Hakeem = 16 11) Garnett = 15 12) Durrant = 13 12) Giannis = 13 14) Curry = 12 15) Robinson = 11 *Minimum is 1 Title and 1 MVP **BTW, Jokic has 7 at this point That’s just to put things into perspective

*kareem and shaq is GG already. unstoppable skyhook team up with unstoppable force. u need 5 players just to guard those two.*

Starters: Payton, Jordan, James, Garnett, O'Neal Reserves: DJ, kobe, Pippen, Antetokounmpo, Gilmore

Steph MJ Kobe Bron Shaq

No disrespect but that name 'The Professor' kills me everytime lmao

Magic, Michael, Kobe, Hakeem, & Shaq...GAME OVER.

1st team: Stockton, West, Bird, McHale, Jokic 2nd team: West, Maravich, Havlicek, Pettit, Mikan

on any starting 5, there's always going to be one common denominator and his name is Jordan

PG Magic SG Jordan SF Lebron PF Kareem C Wilt Nobody is beating that team. Shaq was left out to improve team defence and stamina. His dominance at the rim was not required with so many players who can shoot and score from everywhere. With Kareem and Wilt in the paint, you’re already going to score up high. Duncan was left out, I’d be interested to hear an argument for having him rather than just the second centre in Kareem.

KG is going down. AI will be like 'PRACTICE' 🤣

Shaq, Kobe, Magic, Jordan, Jokic vs Wilt, Bill Russell, Steph, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Petrovic

LITTLE KNOWN FACT (and facts aren't up for agreement) back in Bill Russell and WILT's rivalry NBA rule was 3 shots at making 2 free throws.

Kg shiny as hell

I'm going Steph, MJ, Bron, KD, Shaq

KG could pull up to my cookout anytime

Magic, Jordan, Lebron, Duncan, Wilt... You're welcome

1. Stockton 2. Jordan 3. James 4. Rodman 5. Olajuwon

For my starting 5 I am looking at who would make the team better not necessarily the best 5 ever. I'm going with: PG- Gary Payton SG- Michael Jordan SF- Kevin Durant PF- Kevin Garnett C- Bill Russell

Total Stat Points (Career Avg PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) #1) Wilt = 57.4 #2) Baylor = 45.2 #3) Jordan = 44.7 #4) LeBron = 44.4 #5) Oscar = 43.9 #6) Bird = 43.1 #7) Kareem = 42.9 #8) West = 42.8 #9) Russell = 41.9 #10) Malone = 40.9

As a diehard Spurs fan since 1997-Present, it'll be hard for me to pick anyone other than a Spur, but if I had to pick other players w a Spur: C - Kareem PF - Duncan SF - Pimpin' Pippen SG - T- Mac PG - Iverson

Respect to KG for putting Bill Russell and Wilt. Imagine Bill Russell and Wilt born in this era with all the training, nutrition, coaching, and weight lifting, etc. Wembayama who?

Steph (sorry magic I need shooting with this squad) , Mike, Lebron, Tim Duncan(kg my favorite player of all time too), Hakeem. Argue with your momma.

KG WILT!!

Starting 5: Hakeem, Bird, Duncan, Jordan, and Stockton. Backup: Shaq, Malone, Pippen, Kobe, and Payton.

On Blacktop My 5 Kyrie Kobe TMac Z-Bo Shaq We beating teams up and we getting buckets. We got Kyrie to put on a show with his handles and shot making, Kobe to be athletic and be ultra competitive. TMac because simple nobody stopping him 1 on 1. ZBo because if we playing on the streets I want the dude who even if he dont get fouled and he say he did you have to give him the ball because you know he will knock you clean out. Then Big Diesel because nobody stopping him.

The guy who's interviewing KG is "The Professor" -- right? It looks like it could be him.

KG with the baby oil legs looking like a Krispy Kreme Donut.

KG is always on 😂

KG’s point guard is a whole foot taller than his shooting guard

Magic, MJ, Kobe, Lebron, Shaq

My Favorite NBA Superstars of All Time 🔥💯💪 Magic MJ/Kobe/A.I. T-Mac The Big Ticket The Diesel

Nice top 5s by both but my 5 is Curry, MJ, Bird, Hakeem, Shaq
