2017 AG Greatest NBA Teams of All-Time #4

[Y2K]

'83 Sixers had the last two MVP winners (Malone & Dr. J), the 6th Man of the Year (Jones), 2 all-defensive first teamers (Jones & Cheeks), & 4 All-stars - beating the defending champs in a Finals rematch. Sixers went out and got the guy who owns Kareem in the playoffs (Moses is something like 7-2 against him all time) and he delivered. During the season Philly has 2 ten-plus game win streaks and came out the gates 10-1. They were 22-5 by Christmas - both marks slightly better than the 87 Lakers pace.

@Havlicekstealsit, are the 83 Sixers your official vote or no?

Yes

Got it.

71 Bucks.

Kareem was a beast in his Bucks years.

Oscar could still ball too.

Yeah but as he got worse so did the Bucks in his 4 years there.

Phuture voted for the Lakers. He said he'd be voting for the Sixers NEXT round.

That threw me off. I stand corrected.

Sorry for the confusion gentlemen.

My vote is for the 87 Lakers this round.

[Odogg]

I know this poll is focused on a single season, but let's not forget that both the 83 Sixers and 87 Lakers came back with the same teams the next season.

Lakers went back/back in 88.
Sixers lost in the first round in 84.

No 97 Bulls?

Seriously?

69-13, with legendary finals performances from MJ, and Steve Kerr.

They had an excellent season but there were times where they look a little out-of-sorts compared to the season before. They were an old team that was a year older as well.

Idk if I'd say they looked out of sorts at any time. They were dominate from start to finish. Started 12-0 and only had 2 back to back losses all year. The biggest disapiointed was they were 68-10 and went 1-3 to end the season. Should have had back to back 70 wins. But all 3 losses did come against 54 + win teams.

In the playoffs they went 15-4 with their last 3 series against 56, 61, and 64 win teams.

The out of sorts comment is more appropriate for the 93 or 98 Bulls tbh

[Titan18]

Also the 92 Bulls should be a option in place of the 08 Celtics

The 92 Bulls are the next team to be put up there.
