The scenario is evil aliens challenge us to a basketball game for the fate of humanity. Kind of like Spacejam. Except we have a time machine and can select any player from history in their prime.
5 starters, 7 back-ups
Starting Lineup
PG Magic Johnson - dynamic all around, elite scorer, GOAT distributor
SG Michael Jordan - GOAT
SF LeBron James - SGOAT
PF Tim Duncan - mr fundamental
C Hakeem Olajuwon - the man of a thousand post moves
Reserves
Shaquille O'Neal - We need some enormous unstoppable freaks of nature on the bench. We don't know what the aliens are gonna throw at us
Wilt Chamberlain - See above
Scottie Pippen - greatest defending forward of all time, incredible all-around player, dynamic scorer
Larry Bird - elite all-around player, can heat up faster than anyone
John Stockton - to distribute and run the pick and roll
Bill Russell - elite blocker and post player, winner
Kobe Bryant - can heat up quickly and take over a game

I would add Jerry West to the reserve list.

Bill Belichick and Popovich are coaches, right?

I would want my players to complement each other, but I can't overlook the big name guys.
- Hakeem -- Versatile center and elite defensive presence.
- Dirk -- Awesome inside/outside player. Can shoot and complement Hakeem in the post/high post
- Pippen -- Elite defender to complement Hakeem's interior defense. Can shoot and attack the lane.
- MJ -- It's MJ
- Stockton -- Can run the offense or lay off when MJ is doing his thing. Still valuable because he's an efficient shooter and solid defender. Can get a steal and then get out on the break with the other starters. Can run the pick and roll with Dirk.
Bill Russell
Jerry West
Larry Bird
Kevin Garnett
Gary Payton
Dennis Rodman
Joe Dumars

If Bill Russell isn't a starter, there is no credibility to the thread.

1. Somebody else using the alien test just warms my heart.
2. Stockton shouldn't be on this team. I'd go Isiah or Jerry West over Stockton.
3. I agree with your starting lineup.

Simmons had this discussion before with Bob Ryan. This was his team:
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
LeBron James
Larry Bird
Bill Walton
Basically, you have to have big guys who are willing to rebound and share the ball. Johnson, James, Bird, and Walton all fit that mold. Then you have Jordan, who is your "go-to guy."
I really like this team, to be honest. Walton would be PERFECT for a team like this.

Since Shaq was basically just a bigger version of Wilt, I think we should ditch Wilt and insert Kareem.
