The 2001 Lakers belong here by virtue of: -Sweeping a *stacked* Western Conference (3 different 50-Win Teams) -Going undefeated on the Road in The Playoffs -Best Playoff Win % in NBA History The Diesel and The Mamba in their most *sublime* state. With a bevvy of capable, clutch role players. The Greatest Coach ever. If you care about the regular season excessively, then they don't belong ("only" 56 wins). But if we're talking about greatest team's ever, I'm going playoffs primarily. And they brought it as well, or better, than anyone ever has. Top-5 team ever, and a Top-2 (at worst) playoff team ever.
Moses and Dr.J 76ers did the same thing in the playoffs. Had a better supporting cast too. Went 16-1 in the playoffs plus they swept the Showtime Lakers who are miles better than the shitty AI Sixers squad. Celtics,Bucks,Etc were in the East too.
2013 Miami Heat A. 27 game winning streak, Big 3 (James, Wade, and Bosh) plus Ray Allen, miami took on the spurs in the finals and came back in game 6 thanks to Ray Allen, and had 66 wins in that season. B. The 2013 Miami heat is in the top 5 of other great teams including the 96 Bulls, 89 Pistons, Showtime Lakers, and 86 Celtics.
The Bucks had Big O, & prime Kareem. 2 of the top 8 players ever. Plus they had a 33-game win streak. They also won over 64 games. Heat aren't top 5, maybe top 10. 96' Bulls, Bad Boys,Bird's Celtics,Showtime,71' Bucks, 72' Lakers,Shaq's Lakers,Russell's Celtics and 99'/03' Spurs are all better.
Well, The 95 Knicks Lost To The 95 Pacers Led By Reggie Miller And His Performance In Game 1 That Stunned The Madison Square Garden Crowd. Later On The 95 Pacers Won The Series Because Of Ewing's Missed Lay Up.
I know it's just a commercial but the Pistons guy needs to learn his facts. Yea, the Bad Boy Pistons swept the Lakers in the Finals once but that's what happens when Byron Scott and James Worthy get injured in Game 1 and Magic gets injured in Game 2 leaving a 40 year old Kareem by himself who retired after that year.
86 Celtics would crush that team. DJ could guard Jordan like no other. Even if Bird was locked down (impossible) just send it to McHale and Parrish. Rodman cant guard both. BANG! 86 Celtics in 5-6
c'mon cleveland was destined to win in 2016 and they deserve this moment. the 01 lakers would never have the heart that cleveland did. so, what would you know about this?
doesnt matter hom much heart they have curry choked their center was weak bogut lebron would never get close to the basket with oneal in his prime and kobe doesnt choke as curry
@123Gravina yea cuz tha celtics had all tha best players plus it was during tha 60's not as competitive as tha 80's and 90's. No way they would beat the 96 bulls
Only reason the 95 Knicks beat the Bulls in the playoffs that year was cause MJ was playin baseball! And they nearly lost, it took a bad call from the refs to lift them to a win over the Bulls.
Still Second greatest basketball game ever behind nba jam te but The only issue I had with 2K 11 was how are you gonna have all these great teams of the past but you couldn’t have the best team that Jordan faced in the finals 93 Suns !!!??!? Smh & btw I still play this game and I’m great at it but surprising enough I am the 95 bulls only because it still had BJ Armstrong and I live and die by the three-point shot it’s crazy but Had starting lineup Mj Pippin Armstrong Kerr Harper
Umm... Why is Drake repping the heat?!?!?! I thought he was A die hard Raptors fan and the 6 god. How can he be the "6 god" and start pulling for the Raptors now. #BandwagonFan
