Rookie Phenom Dylan Harper Reveals NBA's All-Time Starting Five

During the NBA 2K26 Summer League, San Antonio Spurs rookie Dylan Harper made a brief appearance on ESPN's broadcast, where he shared his all-time starting five. Harper's lineup, which includes LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, and Shaquille O'Neal, has generated significant discussion among Spurs fans and NBA enthusiasts alike.

Harper's selection has drawn comparisons to fellow rookie V.J. Edgecombe of the Philadelphia 76ers, whose starting five differed in two key positions - Steph Curry instead of Leonard and Kevin Durant over Duncan.

Beyond his impressive all-time lineup, Harper's arrival in San Antonio has sparked excitement and anticipation. The young guard will wear the coveted No. 2 jersey, becoming the first Spur to do so since Leonard. Harper's defensive capabilities and his position as the star rookie alongside more experienced players have led to direct comparisons to Leonard's early days with the Spurs.

In fact, Harper's draft buddy, Carter Bryant, has openly compared himself to the former Spur, citing their shared defensive versatility and potential for growth. The Spurs are now poised to establish a dominant defensive identity, with Harper and Bryant leading the charge alongside the highly anticipated arrival of Victor Wembanyama.

As the Spurs embark on a new era, the combination of Harper's all-time starting five and the team's defensive-minded approach has created a palpable sense of excitement and optimism among the fanbase.
