Can you assemble an all-time great starting 5 with better chemistry?

All in their primes.

PG: Magic
SG: Kobe
SF: LeBron
PF: Duncan
C: Hakeem

Coached by Popovich

-all can defend, all can dribble, and all can pass.
-2 reliable shooters.
-points can be scored from anywhere on the court.

Magic can back down pretty much any point guard in league history. No way you can take a defender off Kobe or LeBron and leave them to be guarded by a pg (unless maybe Magic).

Kobe is taken over Jordan because vs any other squad of all-time greats, defense will be solid. When a pass gets tipped while the shot clock is winding down,there is nobody that's better than Kobe from 22+ feet out with 1-3 seconds left on the clock. Kobe is there as a potential momentum changing/killing threat. Let's not act like Kobe doesn't make electric passes either.

The rest is self-explanatory. Was thinking Kareem, but I think Hakeem would get the best of him in their primes.

Durant would make more sense instead of LeBron, as he is a much better perimeter shooter and off-ball player.

I don't know brehs, Jordan didn't pass much either (at least not much more than Kobe). But he can't hit those clock winding down three's like him.

I thought about Durant also, but I don't think his defense is as reliable as LeBron's.
