EPISODE SUMMARY

Part 2 of our series on All-Time NBA Starting 5's takes us to the Western Conference. There are some really good lineups, some not so great ones, and some interesting choices. Eaton or Gobert? Kobe or West? Who will be the Lakers starting center? And just how many teams will Wilt Chamberlain make it onto?
