Imagine Kobe at his youngest years with the Lakers going against the exiting MJ and Bulls while also at his older years going possibly against up and coming Lebron and cavs or the Heatles at it's debut season. 8 & 24 could've gone against the 2 arguable GOATs in his 2 decade career.

[@vincentsoleseporcher4347]

The #1 team on your list is 100% correct. No matter what excuses that anyone can come up with, they blew it! Imagine where Curry would be in the GOAT list if he had won. But, if they had won, I do not think that KD would have signed with them. It was bad enough for him to join a 73-9 team that lost in the finals.

[@cliptomaniac2562]

A good question is would he rather have had that 73-9 season end in a chip and never win with KD. It’s 2 chips to 1 but that 73-9 chip is special

[@vdismukes]

The 1990 Lakers belong on this list. They had the league's best record at 63-19, the regular season MVP, and were the 3-time defending Western Conference champs. They lost 4-1 in the 2nd round to the Suns after beating them 3 out of 4 games during the regular season and sweeping them in the 1989 playoffs.

[@romanramirez7847]

Good pull. I agree that the 1990 Lakers were a disappointment. I cite two major factors in their underachievement. The first is that the Lakers had been to the Conference Finals EIGHT straight years prior to that which is insane in itself, so I could tell that they were trying way too hard to go a ninth time. The second is that Riley himself had grown way too obsessive in the team’s success. His last two seasons with the Lakers, he began pushing the team way too hard with exhausting practices, and by the time the playoffs came around the Lakers themselves finally ran out of gas. After that season, Riley resigned and Michael Cooper retired. I consider that in my opinion, to really be the last season of Showtime as Mike Dunleavy changed up the play style once he got there the following season.

[@vdismukes]

I was aware that Riley's practices caused the injuries to Byron Scott and Magic during the '89 playoffs, but I did not know that the intense practices continued the following season. That would explain Riley and the Lakers parting ways after the early playoff exit. Additionally, perhaps the Lakers were looking past the Suns to a Conference Finals matchup with the Blazers. I remember thinking at the time that the Blazers were the only team that could prevent the Lakers-Pistons trilogy. @@romanramirez7847

I honestly would put the 2022 Lakers ahead of 2016 GSW. Like I understand the disappointment around GSW not being able to finish the Cavs but the GSW had some stuff working against them. Their center Bogut was out, Draymund got suspended for that crucial game 5, and I honestly believe that since his ankle injury in the first round Steph wasn't playing up to his regular season standard. Add on that they had a grueling WCFs where they had to make their own comeback and it isn't that surprising to me. The 2022 Lakers on the other hand were just trash. Even when all three superstars were healthy and on the court they couldn't manage to get things going. At least when all 3 of the big 3 Nets played together, the few rare times it happened, the results were generally wins and they looked good.

[@cliptomaniac2562]

Injuries.

[@agreatquestion8830]

They would be disappointing if the main guys where not injured, if bron and ad didnt miss sometime off and 3 of them had played alot of time and adjusted well with each other then you can consider it because for me 73-9 warriors could have finish it off even you say Green was out they could have finish it and them actually played alot together and not missing alot of time made it feel like dissapointing

Probably one of the only old heads in here, but the 1986 and 1981 Lakers. Especially the 1981 team. Both were spoiled by the Rockets and a dominant center. The 1986 team was expected to give us the 3rd consecutive Lakers vs Celtics matchup but the Rockets had the perfect formula to counter the new Laker focus on physicality. Ralph Sampson isn't a name talked about enough and kids today probably wouldn't be able to fathom a 7'4" version of T-Wolves Kevin Garnett who can even play small forward.

[@LocalManMakesMusic]

2022 Lakers were too high. Sure they underachieved in historic fashion but there were tons of people that called out the many red flags for this team before the season began (I recall someone making a video about how unsuccessful all the teams were with an average age as high as theirs 🤔) Also I’d say 2011 Heat were too low. That team was heralded as the greatest thing to ever happen to sports and even though they made it to the finals, they fell flat against a huge underdog.

Honestly, it's baffling to me how the 2007 Mavericks can rationally be ranked as a bigger disappointment/shocking fail (other than to Mavericks fans) than the full-mouthed, star-studded 2011 Miami Heat, not to speak of so many other teams. I think the impression of the awkward press conference as a confluence of bad circumstances like a hot and overachieving Warriors-Team that had beaten the Mavericks three times in the season and was coached by the one man, Don Nelson, who exactly knew how to take Dirk's game apart, must have overshadowed what rationally could be expected. Not to speak of the consistent anti-Mark Cuban/Mavs bias of the referees ... So yes, this was a good team, but far from a super team like many of those ranked way lower on this list. So, disappointing? Definitely. Shocking? A bit, because the exit was so early, but not really that surprising when you look a bit closer. But top 3 compared to the others? No, just no. I am however fully on board with ranking the 2011 Mavericks as one of the top 3 most impressive championship runs of all time. ;-)

[@strm5622]

Dallas was so strong all season long. They looked like they were on a mission and nothing would stop them. I remember the season very well. I also remember that I was super worried that GSW might be the opponent in the first round and I thought that this might be the toughest matchup for the entire playoffs since they had already lost to GSW in the regular season. Maybe I am biased but for me it was a massive disappointment. I really thought they would win it and they might have if it were for any other opponent in the first round...But no excuses: big upset, to me it belongs so high. Unfortunately...

It’s interesting how many Kobe teams appear on this list.

[@Davivd2]

Of all the Lakers teams on this list, the 2004 team should have been the highest. 98 was a stacked team too, and the others were just bad fits. That 2004 team was destroyed by injuries. IIRC Malone, Kobe, Payton, and Shaq only played 27 regular season games together. In those 27 games, they were spectacular. The opening game of the season was like watching the Globetrotters. That team knew that they were so stacked and nobody cared who shot so they just passed the ball around and steam rolled teams. The games where all 4 of those guys were on the floor were some of the best basketball games that I've ever seen. But the injuries.....Each one of those guys missed like 20 games through out the season and it was never all at once. So 2 or 3 of them would always be on the floor, and every week it would switch out. The chemistry never set in because how the offense was being ran and who was getting the most touches shifted from week to week. To this day, I've never seen a team fluctuate what they do so much and it was all because of injuries. Had that team stayed healthy, they could have won it all, and IMO had the most promise out of all the teams listed except maybe the 98 roster. Kobe was still a year away from being a super star but their bench was deep. Elden Campbell and Derek Fisher were the best bench players at their position in the entire league and they still had B Shaw, Big Shot Rob, and Rick Fox on the bench. Fox, Horry, and Fisher became the starters 2 years later and they 3 peated. You should have waited a year to make this video though. That way the Suns could have made the list. :-)

Watched at least 50 of your videos. Just realized I wasn’t subscribed.

[@parmoaunes]

Melo and Amare were considered as a contender 😂

[@codyeble0713]

Ill still never forgive Mike Brown for losing that Orlando series for us.. putting LeBron on their point guards to "disrupt their offense" then putting delonte west on their forwards was the dumbest coaching move I've ever seen.. there were also injuries that would have helped deal with dwight so Andy and Z didn't get destroyed every play.. oh well, least we got 1 ring

[@nicksamp515]

Wait, so the 2009 Cleveland was more of a failure than the 2011 heat? I mean Ben and Big Z were already at their twilight years and Mo Williams was a replacement all-star, meaning he wasn't even supposed to be an all-star. 09 Cleveland shouldn't even be on this list to be honest. Team was decent but it lacks the star power most of the teams on this list had so I don't know why it's a failure. 2020 bucks was even more tragic and should be the ones on this list since they lost to a 5th seed in the 2nd round in just 5 games. Also 2023 bucks should be here but where is it?? I think the only reason why it's on the list is because a lot wanted to have a Kobe vs LeBron matchup and it didn't happened.

[@SowerOfMustardSeed]

How was the 2011 Miami Heats only #14 on the list?

[@ArtMagik]

It's not often that I find myself massively disagree with you, but there were a lot of teams that I would have put higher or lower. The most notable are the 2011 Heat and the 2022 Lakers. The 2011 Heat failure is, for my own perspective, almost as shocking as the 2016 Warriors. LeBron was in his peak, Wade was arguably a top 3 player at that time and Bosch a top 10. All the show done before the season put the expectations so high and the opposition in the Finals was so unbalanced on paper that everyone around me seemed to think that the Heat would sweep the Mavericks. LeBron poor performances, the 2-0 lead blowed and the ultimate defeat made this Finals one of the most shocking that I ever saw (and somehow in the good way because everyone prefer the victory of the underdog). On the opposite side, I still don't understand how the 2022 Lakers were so highly regarded before the season begin. Between the injury history, the lack of compatibility between LeBron and Russ and the roster that was not matching LeBron and Davis qualities, it was obvious to me that they will struggle and probably have a hard time going to the post season. I had put them between the 10th and 6th seed, and more likely 10-8 than 7-6. And seeing that they were labeled as contender made me ask if I was crazy or the other people just dumb because they see big names.

[@cliptomaniac2562]

It had to be a big name thing. I personally don’t remember any hype for the 2022 Lakers with AD’s injury history and Russ being Russ. I do remember teams like the 2011 Heat and the KD, Kyrie and Harden Nets being a foregone conclusion for the chip.

[@FrokuBabayy]

​@@cliptomaniac2562Dawg is your memory that slow? KP said they'd win 70 games. Nick Wright & Shannon Sharpe said LeBron would win a 5th ring and solidify himself as the GOAT. Bron himself said they're age didn't matter but to keep that same energy and LeMedia came in right behind that. Only as the season progressed and it became clear this team wasn't gonna do sh!t did they start to backtrack in excuses and fake injuries like they always do for Bron.

[@cliptomaniac2562]

@@FrokuBabayy lol you use Shannon and Nick, the 2 biggest Stan’s for Lebron, as indicators of what the media and fans thought? Let me guess Skip said the opposite. And of course Bron said they would win. Maybe it’s an echo chamber for everyone now. Mostly what I heard was Westbrook wouldn’t work and AD will probably get hurt

[@Bigedub101]

​@@cliptomaniac2562exactly man I seen 2 games and knew that team wasn't gonna work.. They act like those old ass people with 2 ball dominant point guard supposed to actually go together

Watched 2 regularly games a seen that team was trash

[@AquariusLeviathanProphecy]

Dam had too put my NYKs😢😅😊 3:13 👀

[@eleven-elevenproduction6211]

I don’t think the 2004 Lakers was a failed team. As a Lakers fan, I watched them get unlucky with Karl Malone injuring his knee and was never the same. I truly feel if Malone was healthy then we would be seeing a different outcome.

[@manuelcanelo6670]

Putting the 2022 Nets that high is so dumb lol. With all the injuries to KD, Kyrie missing games and their 3rd. and 4th. best player being injured too.

[@jonnyarnett]

That's kind of an excuse though, because by the logic of injuries and missed time, almost no team is allowed to be ranked. 2016 Warriors didn't have Bogut and Draymond had a suspension. 04 Lakers had Malone hurt in the finals and Kobe's Colorado trials throughout the season. 13 Lakers were insanely injured, with the Kobe achilles, Dwight shoulder and Pau's foot, etc.

[@SeeThomasHowl]

Id say that Rockets team needs to be lower. People following the league at the time and Rockets fans knew that entire lineup was well past its prime. A championship from them was always just a fools hope.

[@danielkopolovic7218]

I didn't think the 2016 Warriors were a disappointment. It seemed obvious that the Cavs would give them trouble. Even short-handed, the '15 Cavs had taken the Warriors to 6 games. With Love and Irving healthy, you had to expect the Cavs would be a tough matchup. I am not sure what the betting line was, but I doubt it was that lopsided. Besides, the Warriors had just barely managed to beat the Thunder in the conference finals (coming back from their own 3-1 deficit). By no means did they look invincible. I thought the '19 Durant Warriors coming up short against the Raptors was way more shocking. The way they had dominated the past two years, and with a Lebron-less Eastern conference (Lebron-less playoffs for that matter), It looked like a sure-thing that they would steamroll their way to a championship 3-peat.

[@c99kfm]

66-67 Boston Celtics. I mean, sure, they lost to that year's champions led by Wilt Chamberlain, but still - they had won eight rings consecutively, at that point.

The lob city clippers should be in this list
