NBA | Warriors' Stephen Curry names Michael Jordan his all-time NBA starter 5

So what is Stephen Curry's all-time starting five?


In an interview with Sports Illustrated, the Golden State Warriors star point guard was asked to pick four players from NBA history who would be in his ideal starting lineup, and he chose Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Dirk Novi Cikey and Shaquille O'Neal .

" I'm at PG . I'll go with Magic Johnson -- we'll play hybrid guard, " he said. " You've got Jordan. You've got Dekra to space the floor and shoot . You've got bigs, Diesel, to hold the ball. So, I think it's a solid lineup. "

While it takes a lot of talent to share a hoop, a lot of skill sets really come together well.

Curry and Johnson will keep the ball moving. Curry and Nowitzki will space the floor. O'Neal will dominate the paint and provide Curry and Jordan with reliable pick-and-roll partners. Jordan, being Jordan, would provide the team with an isolation scorer when the game was down or when the team needed a lot of shots in the crunch time. Johnson, Curry and Jordan can push the pace of transformation .
