Whats the greatest NBA team in history?

[DorianRo]

I will go with the '92 Bulls. Jordan at the peak of his game as well as Pippen. Because both were at their peak I think it trumps the '96 Bulls slightly where Jordan (though still dominant because he was so far ahead of everyone regardless ) past his prime as was Pippen. Though the '96 Bulls team does have the defensive stopper down low and arguably best rebounder ever in Rodman

I think I would give the slight edge to the '92 team just because Jordan was not as good during the 2nd 3-peat as he was the 1st

I'd give it to the 96 Bulls, 72-10 don't lie

92 Bulls 2nd

97 Bulls 3rd

that is true. No one will ever SNIFF that regular season record again

'95 Rockets. Face playoff elimination 5 times, then Hakeem throws them on his shoulders to destroy MVP DRob & sweep Shaq for the championship.

[FPL]

My top 5 (in no particular order):

67 Sixers, 72 Lakers, 86 Celtics, 97 Bulls, 01 Lakers (playoffs)

If I can't use the 01 Lakers, I guess I'd go 92 Bulls or 99 Spurs.

[AbeVigodaLive]

Just to break up the dick-sucking party...

I'll go with any of the '86 Celtics, '87 Lakers or '92 Bulls.

[PhutureDynasty]

Depends on what each person values in the team. Regular season record? Playoff record? Team roster?

In no particular order a few teams that come to mind for me are...

83 Sixers
01 Lakers
96 Bulls
86 Celtics

[Smelters]

The 2003 Syracuse Orangemen.

[thedangerouskitchen]

I'll roll with the 92 or 96 Bulls.

Some of those 80's Lakers and Celtics teams are right up there as well.

[wailuaFC]

Im completely biased but I couldnt put anyone above the 01 lakers

[jordanzone]

Bulls from 90-98...they ruled a league when the talent level was far superior, unlike now...

...96/92/93/97/91/98

[Robceltsfan]

What a fucking Bulls fan circle jerk this is.

'86 Celtics....duh.

[Deez]

96 bulls

[jordanzone]

What a fucking Bulls fan circle jerk this is.

'86 Celtics....duh.

hey, it is what it is...when you have the GOAT playing for your team and equip him with players he can mold and shape cohesively as a solid unit, this is what you will achieve...

..fwiw, I completely understand the resentment felt by Laker and Celtic fans...winning all those titles and not a one of those title teams could measure up to any one of those Bulls dynasty teams...

[town bidness]

87 or 01 lakers.

pick a dynasty.

87 or 01 lakers.

I'd give 87 lakers #2 behind the 96 bulls. It's close.

96 bulls would have to be #3 behind the 01 team.. greatest playoff run to date.

[americaninfidel]

'85 Lakers

[jordanzone]

Lots of homers.

But that's okay.

I know that's right...why do others seek to dump on the Bulls 24/7?...simply mind boggling, but understandable...

01 lakers, no not even one of the top 3 teams.
