Anthony Edwards includes LeBron James in his all-time starting five

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards gave his ultimate starting five, which included LeBron James, as well as a surprise.

One of the biggest debates when it comes to NBA history is who belongs in the league’s all-time starting five.

It’s a question that many have either been asked or given an answer to.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, one of the league’s rising stars, was asked the question, and he gave an interesting answer.

First, he included Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James in his all-time starting five.

But beyond that, he included another player that may have showed a touch of narcissism and even arrogance, or perhaps it was simply a joke to lend some levity to the moment.

One thing is for sure: There is plenty of recency bias in Edwards’ list.

The big question is whether James is the greatest small forward in basketball history. Many think he is, but there are plenty who would still put Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird in that spot.

With the Lakers’ hire of Darvin Ham as their new head coach, fans are hoping that, if the team improves its roster, James can win his fifth NBA championship ring in 12 months and solidify his standing in the annals of history.
