Kevin Durant Names All-Time NBA Starting 5; Includes Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan

Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant has gotten involved in the timeless tradition of building an all-time NBA top-five list.

Appearing on Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles' Knuckleheads podcast, Durant listed Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon and Magic Johnson in his top five.

One key note is Durant mentioned he prefers to put players in any listing of all-time rankings after they retire. That helps explains why, for example, LeBron James isn't part of this group.

That's a perfectly valid stance for Durant to take.
