Every NBA Franchise’s All-Time Starting 5

9. New York Knicks: Earl Monroe-Bernard King-Carmelo Anthony-Willis Reed-Patrick Ewing

6th Man: Walt Frazier

Although most of these players didn’t play together, it almost makes too much sense that these pieces would work tremendously together. They have five guys who can score and defend. Carmelo-King would be a deadly one-two punch, and the Knicks would be able to feed whichever one was playing better on a given night. This lineup resembles the title-winning 2004 Detroit Pistons in that they wouldn’t have one of the top 10 players in the league, but are solid from top to bottom.
