[Raymone]

Someone sounds shook a Kobe led Team is Top 5 all time.

01 Lakers were obviously better.

Bro, you honestly think that team is top 5 all time? '00 & '01 Lakers are clearly better

[jayfan]

Yeah, not sure what all goes into the Elo rating equation. The article explains it, but I haven't really read it yet.

00-01 Lakers should be in their place. The way Shaq and Kobe were playing in the Playoffs, I don't think many teams in NBA history would stand a chance.

01 Lakers were obviously better.

Kobe led the 01 Lakers in winshares in the Playoffs and him averaging 32/7/6 during that 11-win streak with 9.7 points on above 50% shooting in 4th quarters made them that great though. Shaq for once wasn't the best player in the world during that amazing stretch.

[CavaliersFTW]

'67 Sixers and '72 Lakers would wipe the floor with most of those teams did they give this an arbitrary cut off or something?

[dh144498]

[BlakFrankWhite]

13-14 Spurs should Be. Top 5

Most innovative exciting offense ever seen

[ProfessorMurder]

'09 Lakers?

F*ck off.

[Kobe_6/8]

I wish I could watch 01 Lakers vs 15 Warriors

If the 15 Rockets lost to the Warriors by 1 in Golden State, the Lakers would son them.

Just lol'ed at the thought of Shaq playing the 15 warriors.

[bballnoob1192]

3peat Lakers are that low? '87 Lakers?

those teams were insanely top heavy. so the fact that they are not on this list means this list is probably using some kind of average talent system. im guessing
