Which NBA team has the best starting five players in the league right now? Could it be the mighty Phoenix Suns, who easily possess the best record in the NBA at the moment? Or is it the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, who seem to have been taking it easy during the 2021-22 regular season until recently, perhaps saving their energy for the games that really count towards hanging a banner.
If you look past health at the moment, do the Golden State Warriors belong in this conversation? And what about the hottest team in the league since the start of the new year, the Boston Celtics? No team has had a better record this year, and the Celtics own the NBA’s second-best point differential to boot.
The hosts of the ESPN show “NBA Today” recently debated this question, with Richard Jefferson, Kendrick Perkins, and Tim Legler all offering up their opinions on the best starting five in the league at the moment.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear their takes on where the Celtics rate among the best of the best.
