89 Pistons
:confusedshrug:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

All of them lose...Best chance to the 14 Spurs probably...04 Pistons among those you mentioned.

[moe94]

14 Spurs

[SouBeachTalents]

1994 Rockets

[Young X]

89 Pistons were ridiculously stacked.

Dumars
Rodman
Laimbeer
Aguire/Dantley
V. Johnson
Mahorn
Edwards
Salley

+ Thomas

Chuck Daly as coach too.

Has to be one of the deepest teams OAT. Kinda like a better defense/worse offense version of today's Spurs. Need to be mentioned more when talking about GOAT teams.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Most likely some of the best teams ever (champions) that didn't have a top5/10 player in the league and weren't so heavily-reliant on their best player. Teams like the 1989 Pistons, 1973 Knicks, 2014 Spurs, 2004 Pistons, 1979 Sonics... even though it would've still been very tough without their best player, so...

The guy who dropped 34/7/8/1/1 on 64% TS in the conference finals.

So Lamar Odom.

The 2014 Spurs is a great selection

[StephHamann]

2014 Spurs (if we assume Parker is the best player)

Pop benched him against OKC big time and Mills and those boys won the game

[ralph_i_el]

The spurs best player is Pop though :roll:

Replace Pop with an average coach
Replace Duncan with an average pf/c

Which of those teams would have been better last season?

What did Pop do last season that was so remarkable? The guy is a great coach but this deity status that some people place on him is getting out of hand.

[MavsSuperFan]

Any team where the best player is a controversial topic.

2014 spurs are the best example. Who was their best player?

Cold-blooded and mostly true. :cry:
