Who is the best team to NEVER win an NBA championship? 🏆 | YouTube Exclusive 

2016 Thunder. KD and Russ took down the 67 win Spurs in round 2, winning 2 road games against a team that only lost once at home all year, and then were up 3-1 on the 73 win Warriors (and were DOMINATING them to take that lead). If they would’ve won that title (beating LeBron in the Finals), it would’ve been one of the greatest title runs of all time

2017-18 Rockets , mvp james harden and Cp3 take a 3-2 lead on the greatest team ever assembled, having the lead in games 6 and 7 ,and lost due to Cp3 getting hurt and 27 straight missed 3s😞 or 2021 nets

The 2016 Spurs team that won 67 games always comes to mind, that team was stacked and I thought Tim was gunna win number 6 and ride off into the sunset 😢

You guys are cooking with these shorts and extra things. The podcast is the same good thing as ttw but this stuff has made it improve overall

2002 sacramento kings. iykyk

As a Rockets fan the 2018-19 post season will always hurt my heart

2017 spurs had the gs team down 20 at half then zaza decided to hurt kawhi. Crazy what if

An offensive powerhouse filled with young stars, the 1994-95 Magic were one of the best NBA teams to not win a title. The two leading scorers for the team that season were 22-year-old Shaquille O’Neal and 23-year-old Anfernee Hardaway. The team also featured Horace Grant, Nick Anderson, and Dennis Scott. Orlando went 57-25 in the regular season, which was good enough for first place in the East. Orlando made it to the NBA Finals but was stopped by Hakeem Olajuwon’s Rockets as Houston swept the series.

The 2004 lakers come to mind right away. That team had everything except the chemistry they hated each other and still almost bs their way into another ring

For me it's the Yao and McGrady Rockets. Remember that win streak. Had they not got hurt they win a championship. U can't tell me otherwise. They had all the pieces.

That seattle team from 90s was super tuff just coundnt get it done but they were super good

2013 Knicks Carmelo Anthony won scoring title, jr smith SMOTY, Tyson chandler DPOY

The 2016 Warriors, Spurs & Thunder

2005 pacers were ready to win and had so much potential but that brawl deaded everything for them

90's Jazz for me. Back to back finals with no win is tough. They may not have the highest peak but how long they were elite with no title is unheard of.

2011-12 Bobcats

love these youtube exclusives

2018 rockets. Were up 3-2 on the KD curry warriors but lost due to cp3 getting hurt in game 5 and Trevor Ariza missing 9 of the 27 3s

The 2016 Spurs are definitely my pick. 40-1 at home, losing only to the 73-9 Warriors. They were blowing teams out at the same scale as the Warriors. Only lost to the Thunder in the 2nd round due at least partially to questionable officiating in key moments.

early 2000s pacers, old reggie, jermaine oneal, ron artest etc

Y'all picked all my choices but throwing out 1993 Suns. Been watching old Jordan series back and they had the best chance. They went blow for blow with peak Jordan and just fell short.

As a Knicks fan JKidd Jr Smith Melo Stat Tyson Chandler was such a beautiful team and sad they didnt get close

2019 76ers. Ben Simmons JJ Reddick Jimmy Butler Tobias Harris Joel Embiid. I’m so sad we didn’t win that year Kawhi is a monster

yall boys cooking recently !

Genuine question from a huge suns fan for P. How often were you able to stay up late enough to watch those suns teams home games with Nash? I’m young but when I watch those old home games from the 7SOL teams, it’s different, the energy is on another level. How often were you able to experience that?

Firmly the 2018 Rockets and it’s not close, about 2 threes away from beating the best team of all time, clearly the best

2000-2001 portland trailblazers c’mon guys look at that roster from top the bottom

Malice and the Palace Pacers team comes to mind for me. That team was dom-i-nant before the Malice

2019 Philadelphia 76ers. That team was so stacked and got unlucky that Toronto matched up perfectly against them, I think they would’ve beat the Bucks and Warriors and won the championship.

Yo p i think saying come aboard for numbers on the board it better than what you got idk

It might be my blazers bias but, the a healthy 08-10 blazers team is winning at least one, the trio of Roy, Aldridge and oden in the 62 games played together were 50-12.

Okc thunder 2016

All star lance stephenson? Mike is off the green green 🍃

Yuhhh eating rn perfect timing

In no particular order: 2018 Rockets, 2016 Spurs, Thunder in the 2010s (just the whole decade), 1996 Supersonics

Shaq and Penny was a great duo to never finish the job

2018 rockets

The 2019 76ers with jimmy really made me a believer

2002 Sacramento Kings not being mentioned is absurd. HOFERS on Open Court all had his team as number 1 a few years back. And, to be honest they would demolish most of the teams you guys mentioned. LOL

As a Bulls fan, it hurts that we didn't get past that hump in the early 2010's

NUMBERS ON THE BOARDDD

Oooh, stop. Thank you for making me hold in my imagination the idea of an OKC and Bulls finals. Wild

🔥

Also you did not mention the Kings on. They had Chris Weber, Mike Bibby, Peja. Robert Horry shot killed them

The 2009-10 l Atlanta hawks with Mike bibby Jeff Teague Josh smith Joe Johnson a young Al horford think they won 50 games that year great team then they had a second chance in 2014-15 they had 4 all stars on that squad crazy

2018-19 warriors? They literally took the raps to 6 WITH injured kd and klay. If they werent injured they woulda swept the raps

2011 Heat

2002 Kings

Boogie and AD pelicans

Sacremento kings 2002-2003

1998 Indiana Pacers

2007 Suns has to be my pick so I'm with P, if Amar'e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw weren't suspended after that dirty hit from Robert Horry I definitely think the Suns would've gone all the way and won it

That Kings Webber and Bibby team is one of the best teams to never win.

2002 Kings Nash Suns 97 and 98 Jazz 2018 Rockets 2021 Nets

90’s Reggie miller pacers and Jason Kidd 00’ nets

The Steve Nash Suns and the 2012-2013 Grizzlies

17 spurs. 17 cavs. 18 rockets. 96 sonics.

We should probably go "cores to never win a ring" or this would be very easy. Would take 1990 Bulls, 1988 Pistons, 2017 Cavs, 2016 Warriors, 2011 Heat, 2013 Spurs. 2009 Celtics. Etc...

This Celtics team is for sure becoming one and the clippers this year

Personally for me it is 2017 wizards but they were not favorites I just wish they won lol

Literally all of KDs non gsw teams, either stopped by role players selling or health issues

Dwight Howard magic

The suns with Barkley the 7 seconds or less suns, the sun's the year they lost to the books. The suns man. 😭

Their bias for them Chicago teams are getting annoying

2017 cavs

Glad as hell the bulls got mentioned first…. Love that fucking team to death, man

2004 Lakers, 2019 Warriors, 2017 Spurs come to mind first

The 06 suns didn't have amare. Way overachieved. 05 or 07 with the suspensions as mentioned, would have been better choices imo. Ssol suns as whole for sure. Good shout by P.

2002 Kings because they were robbed. Honorable mention to 2007 Suns for Amare's bogus suspension the one year they had their best chance. D Mills bogus as hell for that weak Bulls pick lol may as well pick Dame if you're being biased

Last year’s heat, wouldn’ve been a fairy tale win similar to the 07 mavricks

no way they started off with the d rose bulls 😭😭😭

wait, how can the mention teams in the east during bron'S era. i was told by twitter experts that the east was absolute shit and thats the only reason bron made it to 8 straight finals.

How can the answer be anything BUT the 73-9 warriors lmao

No lie, I think a healthy John wall and Beal shoulda won a chip if not the minimum a eastern conference finals

No 2002 kings is crazy

2017-2018 Rockets

I will never understand how the 03 Sacramento Kings didn’t win the title that year

2017 Cavs were better than the 2016 Cavs

2019 warriors

Kd harden and kyrie nets

2002 Kings. The streets won’t forget.

LA Clippers and Kawhai Leonard the last 4 years haven’t made one single finals appearance. When they joined together PG13 and Leonard everyone expected them to be in the finals and that was like that last 4 years and they have failed over and over and over again. They had the most talent and depth and they added more talent and still have failed to make it to the finals. That has to be the most disappointing team not to make a single finals appearance in 4 years embarrassing. Still even now they have them as the favourites with Denver and they had them favourites every year previously and every time they either get injured or lose a 3-1 lead in the bubble where their best player Leonard had 14 points in a game 7. The media blamed PG13 and now Doc Rivers for their failures and injuries but it’s been 4 years of consistent failures and disappointments for me they have been by far the best team to never win the chip and not even make one single finals appearance huge L

Clippers are gonna have 2 different eras of teams that won’t win the finals but should’ve. Lob city and possibly current team

i think the 2019 warriors would have easily won the finals if they werent injured and are the easiest answer to this question

The 2010 Atlanta Hawks

Yessssirrrrr

1997/1998 Jazz hands down. Oh and the 2002 kings ...

LOL, Noway the Bulls team with Rose. I would go with the Sacramento Kings of the early 2000s. They got robbed vs. the Lakers and would have stomped the Nets. And, that Kings team would have creamed the Bulls team.

94-95 magic and 2017 cavs

Lob city clippers

90’s Sonics🥲

2000 trailblazers/2002 kings.

2016 or 2018 raptors

This list was lowkey horrible. There's a big difference with the best teams to never win VS your personal favorite teams to never win. Those bulls and Pacers were not championship level teams because they lacked the offensive fire power. They were great defensively and great to watch because they were very competitive teams. The clippers were a highlight reel team, everyone and I mean EVERYONE knew something was missing from that team which is why a successful season for them would be considered a WCF appearance which they never achieved with CP3 and Blake.

Never forget the toe on the line…

NUMBBBASS ON THE BOOOOARDDD YEEEEEEEEUUUUUSSSSSS

07 Nuggets with Melo..

Jerry wests teams

Pacers pre-malice

raptors between the years of 2015 to 2018, the lowry and demer era, if LeBron didn't exist they would have atleast got 1
