Ron Harper was a key piece to five championship teams. He won three titles with the Chicago Bulls in the late 1990s and two with the Kobe-Shaq-led Los Angeles Lakers.

In a recent interview, Harper was asked to name his ultimate teammate starting five. His answer didn’t shock anyone.

“I’m gonna have to go Scottie Pippen … at the one,” Harper said. “I’m gonna have to go Kobe Bryant at the two. I’m gonna have to go [Michael Jordan] at the three… I’m gonna have to take [Dennis] Rodman at the four. I’ll take Shaquille O’Neal at the five.”

Harper’s team would be legendary. They certainly wouldn’t lose more than a handful of games during an 82-game season. In the playoffs, they would cakewalk to multiple NBA championships.
