I probably take 93 first, but I will definitely accept 03 as first, because the lineup of KG, Duncan and Shaq, is just insane in defense and rebounding.

Not sure if I prefer Magic and Bird and old Erving/Malone or prime Lebron, Durant and Kobe/Duncan. Probably do.

In any case, the 2023 seems like a historically bad year.

83 team has:

Bird - 3 rings
Magic - 5 rings
Erving - 1 ring (3 in the ABA)
Malone - 1 ring

10 rings, so pretty close.

93 team has:

Jordan: 6 rings
Hakeem: 2 rings

8 rings.

2013 team has:

Lebron: 4 rings
Durant: 2 rings
Kobe: 5 rings
Duncan: 5 rings

16 rings :bowdown: Though to be fair, both Kobe and Duncan were past their prime here.

That 2003 team is insane. Pretty much everyone there is at or near their very best.
