It might be appropriate seeing how Miami Heat are doing something unique at this time. What do you consider to be the top 5 teams of all time?

1. 1986 Celtics: Almost no weakness. Probably the GOAT front court, great fast break team, Bird and Mchale in their prime, great bench with sixth man of the year, and good defense. And one of the best passing teams of all time. 40-1 home record too.

2. 1996 Bulls: Great versatile defensive team. Very solid bench. Elite coaching. Even when they have Jordan they play great as a team with guys knowing their roles. Having the best record in NBA history is legendary. They were the best offensive team and best defensive team in their season. They destroyed their competition by beating them on a average of 12.3ppg in the regular season. Plus Rodman, Jordan, and Pippen were first All Defense Team. Ron Harper was a pretty good defender as well.

3. 87 Lakers: It might be the best Showtime team. Magic, Worthy, and Scott in their prime. Michael Cooper being the DPOY. Kareem, even though was old, he was still elite as a center. A great scoring option. And a great coach with Pat Riley.

4. 72 Lakers: Seemed like they finally lived up to their potential with West, Wilt, and Goodrich. They hold the 33 win streak. Wilt being great at defense, West playing a more disturber role, and Goodrich being the scorer. Won 69 wins of the season.

5. 71 Bucks: A young Kareem in his prime, being a force of nature and Oscar Robinson being more of a playmaker with solid role players. They also destroyed their competition. They beat teams on the average of 12.2ppg. But they destroyed in the playoffs by beating teams on the average of 14.5ppg.

Honorable mentions:

85 and 87 Celtics and 85 Lakers: Magic and Kareem were closer as the 1a and 1b type. Great team, probably underrated and should belong in there somewhere. Might be better than 87 team. And that 85 Celtics team was really stacked. The 87 Celts was great but got consumed by injuries in the end. Mchale was at his peak that year before the injury.

83 76ers: Like the 1996 Bulls, they had three players in the All Defense Team. Moses Malone, Mo Cheeks, and Bobby Jones. Plus they had Dr. J. and Andrew Toney. Playoff record was 12-1. Second best playoff record.

01 Lakers: Probably the best one and two punch option. Not as stacked as the other teams, but they dominated the competition in the playoffs. Best playoff record with 15-1.

97 Bulls and the first threepeat Bulls: 97 Bulls were pretty much the same team with the 96 Bulls. 69 wins and could've won more if Rodman played a little bit more games. And the first threepeat Bulls were great because Jordan was more at his best and Pippen and H.Grant were coming to their own.

2002 Kings: Probably the the best team to never win a title IMO, and one of the most entertaining teams. I may be a little bias with this one.

Only mentioning 1977-present teams since I havent seen much from the older teams.

1. 1986 Celtics - Greatest mix of talent & chemistry the league has ever seen. This team pretty much had no weaknesses, elite offense, elite defense, they would beat you up on the boards, and they even used the 3 point shot to their favor at times. Greatest front court in NBA History as well, adding Walton to that team was almost criminal.

2. 1996 Bulls - An amazing team known for their consistency and defense. Probably the greatest defensive back court the league has ever seen, and a top notch offense. Only knock on this team was lack of post scoring from their bigs.

3. 1987 Lakers - One of the most efficient offenses the league has ever seen, known for their fast break. Defense was solid as well. Weakness would probably be rebounding, they struggled on the boards at times, especially vs Eastern teams.

4. 1983 Sixers - Team full of all-stars, only lost 1 game in the postseason. It was a top heavy team, lack of depth and the PF position was a weak spot.

5. 1992 Bulls or 1985 Lakers - Can't decide.

71 Bucks - Destroyed the Regular season and playoffs
96 Bulls - Pretty much never challenged the whole season.
86 Celtics - Only lost one home game all season
87 Lakers - Maybe the stiffest competition
67 Sixers - Awesome regular season (66 wins) but also wiped the floor with Russell's Celtics.

Pretty good list, I wold argue 00 Lakers over 10 but... can't really argue with it too much
2000 Kobe was still young and the only championship that people can tell that he's a 2nd option.. In 2001 Kobe was a legitimate 1b to Shaq.. By 2002 Kobe was already equal to Shaq.. 2009 and 2010 version of Kobe was better than 3peat Kobe.. His 09 and 10 PO run was one of the best of all time.. So this is how I rank them..

2002 - Kobe = SHaq.. Imagine a team with 2 equal best player in the league
2001 - Shaq1a, Kobe1b almost same as the above but Shaq was slightly better here
2009 - Kobe had one of the best PO run of all time comparable to 1st peat Jordan
2010 - same as 2009 but they struggle beating one of the best defensive team of all time in the finals
2000 - Kobe was still too young and the only championship year that Kobe was a 2nd option

Non Lakers team

Base on how they dominate their competition:
86 Boston - because people rank them that high.. But any current team would probably shit on them..
96 Bulls - 72-10 in a watered down era.. The record was the only impressive but the competition sucks..
2004 Piston - they beat the lakers who were on pace to be the best team of all time.. Its quite sad that injuries, chemistry issue and Shaq out of shape prevent them from doing it..
2003 Spurs - they beat the 3peat Lakers in the 2nd round
2011 Mavs - they beat the defending champs for their quest to their 2nd nba finals trip and beat one of the most stacked team of all time to win the title.. This include the most epic disappearing act in the finals by the losing team best player..

Most unstoppable duo ever. 15-1 and a .938 winning percentage, the best playoff run in NBA history including a sweep over the Spurs, the best team of the regular season. The '01 Lakers lost their only game in OT and won the Conference Finals by an average of almost 22 ppg.

How can a person believe that the '84 Celtics were better than the '86 team? Players who were with both teams have said that the '86 team was the best team they played on, even Larry Bird. Red Auerbach has said that the '86 team was the best team he had been associated with.

(Only since 1996), I would change #3 from 2009-10 Lakers to 2004-05 Spurs. A prime Bowen to put on Kobe, a prime TD (albeit with sprained ankles), a prime Manu, a not yet prime TP and great role players (Barry, Horry, Nazr, Rasho, Udrih, Glenn Robinson) is a bad matchup for 09-10 LAL.

in 1984 it took Boston 7 games to defeat a 47 win New York team, the Lakers were physically better than the Celtics that year, Boston was just more physical and mentally tougher.

Bird and McHale were better in '86, they had a more lethal frontcourt, and they were a much better jump shooting team. You might not remember this, but outside shooting was a major weakness for the Celtics in '84 with a DJ/Henderson backcourt, by '86 they were one of the better outside shooting teams in the league with Ainge (much better shooter than Henderson) improving & now starting, Wedman got more minutes, & the Sichting addition who was automatic from mid-range also helped out. Parish was better in '84, but the Walton addition made the '86 team better at the center position.

What a terrible photoshop job. Wilt is practically attached to MJ's back. Where are Wilt's legs? Is he just randomly popping out of MJ's asshole?



(Only since 1996), I would change #3 from 2009-10 Lakers to 2004-05 Spurs. A prime Bowen to put on Kobe, a prime TD (albeit with sprained ankles), a prime Manu, a not yet prime TP and great role players (Barry, Horry, Nazr, Rasho, Udrih, Glenn Robinson) is a bad matchup for 09-10 LAL.

Good point, but like I said, "I'm clearly biased here. . ." I think maybe that 2004-05 Spurs would be over the 2006-07 Spurs, but that's when TD was still in his prime, Tony Parker took the reigns, Manu was still in his prime, and the bench was arguably the best in the league.
Plus, they were the first team to expose LeBron James as a season-only player (at least, at the time; he's obviously changed that since last year).

But to be honest, I don't think the 2004-05 Spurs were that much better than the 2009-10 Lakers. That Lakers squad had a prime Kobe and a prime Gasol with a great bench that saw Lamar Odom as a great 6th man. MWP, though being far below his career averages in most categories; would've easily demolished Bruce Bowen; prime Kobe would've been a lot for Manu to handle in a 7 game series; TD & Gasol would've been an incredible match-up imo, though I'm sure Timmy D would've gotten the edge over Gasol in almost every game; assuming Bynum wasn't injured for the series, Muhammed would've had a hard time containing him in the post; and the Lakers shooters, like Shannon Brown, Jordan Farmar & Sasha Vujacic, would have/could have/should scored more from the perimeter than the Spurs' bench shooters, such as Barry & a very old Robert Horry.



Again, I might be biased here, so... :confusedshrug: All I know is that I watched every game that year and there's no denying it was among the top 3 greatest Lakers teams of the 2000's.

Artest would be on Manu and Bowen would be on Kobe. IMO, 05 Spurs > 07 Spurs - much deeper and more versatile. And yes, Horry was 35 but 21 pts, 7 reb, 2 asst, 58.3%FG, 5/6 3pters made in 32 mins. - his game 5 was magnificent.

04-05 Playoffs 3PT% 3PT Made
#24 Horry 44.7% 38
#25 Manu 43.8% 42
#26 Bowen 43.3% 29
#27 Devin Brown 42.9% 3
#29 B. Barry 42.4% 28
#70 Glenn Robinson 30% 1

#49 Kobe 37.4% 49
#52 Fisher 36% 27
#84 Artest 29.1% 34
#88 Shannon Brown 28.1% 9

I think your memory is off in regards to LAL's 09-10 3pt shooting. SAS' shooters are better.

Anyone old enough to remember the 83 Sixers will tell you that team would beat any team the NBA has ever put on the court. In almost sure that there were four hall of famers on that team. 8 of there 17 loses came in the last 16 games when they were playing mostly second string because they had home court already wrapped up. Totally out classed a very good Lakers team in the finals.:bowdown: 83 Philadelphia 76ers

:facepalm There was no photoshop in 1992 dumb ass. These people had to find the right images, x-acto knife precisely around the negatives, combine them, and print copies. It's nearly impossible to get a perfect image that way. You can't manipulate anything other than magnification.

That's nearly flawless, especially considering they probably cut around another player that Wilt was actually defending.

You have not seen half the teams I have. Be sure about that. Nobody is saying that this team is the best ever. Better than 86'Celtics, 96' Bulls etc. But they will end up being top 10 at least. And even better if they manage to win 3+ championship in a row. And there is nothing that you can do about it also.

Why would I want to do anything about it? If they win a lot, they will be remembred as great. Until now, they have only won 1 ring though and were actually close to being eliminated on their way last year by Boston. They have put together a nice streak as of late, sure. That alone won't make me shit my pants though.

BTW, how is your argument "they will end up top 10 at least" proof that someone thinking they are not top 5 is a hater?

To me it depends on what they do in the playoffs. I think they are one of the best teams in a while atm. They'll probably be remembered as all time great team if they win the championship regardless. If they dominant in the playoffs then that would only mean great things for their ranking as a team.

The season isn't over yet. But this is about top 5 greatest teams, not top 10. This Heat team haven't played in the playoffs yet.

2003 Spurs - they beat the 3peat Lakers in the 2nd round
2011 Mavs - they beat the defending champs for their quest to their 2nd nba finals trip and beat one of the most stacked team of all time to win the title.. This include the most epic disappearing act in the finals by the losing team best player..

Good call. There isn't a single person that shouldn't bow down before this team. Not a single superstar and wins it all. Are you kidding me?! IDGAF how weak the trip to the finals were, BOW DOWN to a team that got it done using TEAM fundamentals because they had NO superstar, only all-stars. :bowdown:

Hmm...it's hard for me to rate that team. That team was good, but I think ppl overrate the team because they just pulled an upset against the heavy favorite Lakers. It was the same team who went to 7 games against the Nets. Everyone thought it was going to be a cake walk.

But they were still great and were bullied the East for a while on how good they were as a team.

2000 Kobe was still young and the only championship that people can tell that he's a 2nd option.. In 2001 Kobe was a legitimate 1b to Shaq.. By 2002 Kobe was already equal to Shaq.. 2009 and 2010 version of Kobe was better than 3peat Kobe.. His 09 and 10 PO run was one of the best of all time.. So this is how I rank them..

2002 - Kobe = SHaq.. Imagine a team with 2 equal best player in the league
2001 - Shaq1a, Kobe1b almost same as the above but Shaq was slightly better here
2009 - Kobe had one of the best PO run of all time comparable to 1st peat Jordan
2010 - same as 2009 but they struggle beating one of the best defensive team of all time in the finals
2000 - Kobe was still too young and the only championship year that Kobe was a 2nd option

Non Lakers team

Base on how they dominate their competition:
86 Boston - because people rank them that high.. But any current team would probably shit on them..
96 Bulls - 72-10 in a watered down era.. The record was the only impressive but the competition sucks..
2004 Piston - they beat the lakers who were on pace to be the best team of all time.. Its quite sad that injuries, chemistry issue and Shaq out of shape prevent them from doing it..
2003 Spurs - they beat the 3peat Lakers in the 2nd round
2011 Mavs - they beat the defending champs for their quest to their 2nd nba finals trip and beat one of the most stacked team of all time to win the title.. This include the most epic disappearing act in the finals by the losing team best player..

2004 Pistons were somewhat just in the right place at the right time. Vegas odds HEAVILY favoured the Lakers. Detroit winning was the biggest finals upset in NBA history according to betting odds. (not hyperbole. Literally true)

Nobody likes to hear this about there team, but that was more of a Lakers loss than a Pistons win.
