There are eight teams since 1970 that I think you can make the argument for as being the greatest NBA team of all time. The 1986-1987 Los Angeles Lakers are one of them.

@Asim Ali Showtime won 5 titles in the 1980s with 3 different Finals MVPs. Magic won in 1980, 1982 and 1987. Kareem won in 1985 when they finally beat Boston and Worthy won in 1988 when they beat Detroit. How many teams in NBA history have had 3 players all capable of carrying the team to the championship when needed? Certainly not the Bulls. There was MJ, and then there was...MJ. Sorry, Scottie was never good enough to carry the team, even for a short series. The Lakers had 3 guys good enough to do that.

Pippen, the better defender, led in passing, rebs, and steals at 16 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 2 spg and 47% FG and 70%, FT, with Worthy scoring more, with better accuracy, at 18 ppg, 5 rpg, 52% and 77%

There's gonna be 8 total, and this is the 6th. Since the Heat show up in the intro before the "with apologies to Bill and Wilt" part, I think they're not gonna be included. Curious to see which Spurs they pick, though

[@derpmcgerp8062]

@@taimurabid5135 it's tough to say. As a team unit, it's not even a competition. Plenty of Spurs teams were incredibly good because each player contributed and they cultivated a winning culture. Hence being the most successful post-Jordan franchise. They for the most part didn't need 1 guy to go off and score 40 in order to win games. The Big 3 Heat were also incredibly good when they were at their peak. You could also argue though that their Big 3 was kind of overrated. After 2011, Dwayne Wade wasn't the same player as he use to be. Chris Bosh was a great player who had moments, but he was also kinda overrated. Lebron was arguably at his best when he played for the Heat, that's their 1 saving grace. They had the best player in the league and when he was dominating, the team was actually good enough to really help him win Championships. The difference between the Heat and Spurs were that the Spurs had probably the best coaching in the league and had selfless superstars like Tim Duncan uphold a culture that prioritized defense, getting everybody involved, and winning games. The Heat were fun to watch, they had a player who could easily take over games when needed, and they could beat anybody in multiple ways. Tough to tell. Curious to see what Clayton's gonna pick.
