A Daily Babble Production
Welcome to the newest edition of the CelticsBlog NBA page's
newest feature, Runnin' Fives. Over the course of the next few months,
we'll be picking a five-man all-time team for each of the Association's
thirty currently active franchises. The rules are simple: The
goal is to put together the best
possible standard five-man line-up (two guards, two forwards, one
center, with some room for finagling if need be) for each team based on
the performance of the players while with said team. For instance,
it's hard to imagine Michael Jordan making the Washington squad or Karl
Malone or Gary Payton challenging for spots in Los Angeles (or Mark
Blount making any team, anywhere). We'll be progressing from youngest
franchise to oldest at the
rate of one to two teams per week, pursuant to the workings of the
NBA's news cycle and availability of sources as we'll be checking in
with bloggers, beat writers, fans and anybody else we can get a hold of
for insight on their teams. And of course, we're always
looking for your input, and we invite all readers to submit their own
line-ups, honorable mentions, dishonorable mentions and everything in
between in the comments section below. We eagerly look forward to
hearing from you!
