Every NBA Franchise’s All-Time Starting 5
7. Philadelphia 76ers: Allen Iverson-Andre Iguodala-Julius Erving-Charles Barkley-Joel Embiid
6th Man: Hal Greer
Philadelphia sports a top-heavy lineup that would surely struggle if the roster was stretched out to 9 or 10 players. Erving-Barkley is arguably the most star-studded forward combo out of the 30 teams, and can match up with any other pair of forwards. Although not a true point guard, Iverson gives you the skill-set of a lead guard as well as plenty of ball handling. Having not played with much talent for most of his prime, it would be fascinating to watch Iverson play alongside other stars and see how his game would evolve. Embiid is the kind of player who can flourish in any lineup. He’s a dominant force in any era. Iguodala is the Swiss army knife who would be taxed with the job to guard the opposing team’s best perimeter player. Andre is the perfect complement offensively to Iverson-Erving-Barkley, as his unselfishness and passing ability balances out three other players who need the ball in their hands to succeed.
