Across the sports world, the debut of “The Last Dance” signaled the start of a month of reminiscing, learning and, above all, debating.

Greatest player of all time? Greatest team of all time? Was Scottie Pippen’s trade demand reasonable? Did Jerry Krause cause the splintering of the dynasty? The list goes on.

Zach LaVine chimed in on a different age-old conversation point on the most recent addition of "Roundball Rap" hosted by Marc Spears of ESPN’s The Undefeated by giving his all-time Bulls starting five.

Here are LaVine’s picks. These are sure to spark some controversy:

PG: Derrick Rose

SG: Zach LaVine

SF: Michael Jordan

PF: Scottie Pippen

C: Pau Gasol

A young man’s list if we ever did see one. The most eye-popping inclusion is, of course, LaVine himself at shooting guard. He was able to get Jordan and Pippen in there by sliding them each down a position.

We’re not going to hold this one against LaVine. After all, how could one not include himself on the all-time team for the organization they both play for and ostensibly lead? That’s a franchise player's mentality, whether you believe it's misguided or not. He's been one of the only bright spots on the Bulls for some time.

Still, playing Jordan and Pippen in their conventional slots (positionless basketball! Again, a young man’s list) and inserting Bob Love (Hall of Famer) or Dennis Rodman (Hall of Famer) would have been more palatable. Or leaving Pippen at the four and inserting Chet Walker (Hall of Famer) in at small forward. Heck, you’d be hard-pressed to argue even with leaving Rose, Jordan and Pippen as is and putting Jerry Sloan (Hall of Famer, one of the founding fathers of Bulls) in LaVine’s spot.

Of course, there are issues at the center spot, as well. LaVine’s case for Gasol is predicated on two All-Star seasons in Chicago in which Gasol averaged 17.6 points and 11.4 rebounds in one of the last productive gasps of what’s sure to be a Hall of Fame career. However, notably unconsidered were Artis Gilmore (Hall of Famer), Joakim Noah and even Tom Boerwinkle, who helped pioneer some of the first Bulls teams of note in the 1970s.

Alas. Again, it’s hard to be too hard on LaVine for this one. We’re here for any and all digressions down memory lane while the Bulls assume their rightful place at the center of the sports world.
