Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has slowly become one of the best point guards in the NBA right now.
He’s the cornerstone player for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are on the verge of completing their rebuild and becoming a top team in the Western Conference.
Considering Gilgeous Alexander’s new-found popularity, fans are always on the lookout for his views on the NBA.
On that note, the 25-year-old All-Star guard recently shared his all-time NBA starting five via NBACentral on Twitter.

He had Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, and Shaquille O’Neal in his all-time starting five.
A few notable absences were of Magic Johnson, Stephen Curry, and LeBron James.
The three superstars are usually included in all-time NBA starting fives of fans.
Either way, the starting five picked by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is no small deal.
The five players have won 17 NBA Championships among them.
But a huge disadvantage of the lineup would be the lack of ball movement.
After all, Iverson, Bryant, Jordan, Durant, and O’Neal aren’t known for their playmaking abilities.
On the other hand, the scoring ability of this roster is through the roof.
If this hypothetical lineup ever played in the NBA, it could easily score 150 points on any given night.
If the Oklahoma City Thunder star had included one elite playmaker in the lineup, it could have made it nearly impossible to stop this roster.
