Best NBA team of all time?

Answer 1

There is no "best" team, as "team A" may have the best record but can't beat "team B" who has a worse record, but "team C" can always beat "team B." The point is, no team is the best, but some team is the best record wise. Those would be the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics, and the New York Knicks all trading off best records throughout the 2009 season. Some may say that the team with the most championships is the best team, but that is not always true.

Here are more opinions from WikiAnswers users:

It is difficult to judge different Eras, but generally speaking the best basketball team to play was the Chicago Bulls of the 1990's which were able to win 6 rings in 8 years led by Michael Jordan and Scottie pippen.

Currently, the best teams in the NBA (2009 season) are the Boston Celtics, which are the current champions and the Los Angeles Lakers in the West, who played them in the 2008 NBA Finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic are both also considered in the top 4 at the mid season mark of the 2009 campaign.
Minn-Los Angeles Lakers. If 3 Dynasties are not enough for you, than I don't know what YOU mean by "Best NBA Team."


I think LA Lakers and Boston Celtics are the top 2, cuz they have more championship than other team

the best team would have to be the celtics with bill Russel and bob cousy, they won 8 STRAIGHT championships and 11 of 13 championships, probably the best team in NBA history

UPDATE 2012
Really, the best team in the NBA is your favorite team. The top three, the "A", "B", "C" teams would be the Boston Celtics, L.A Lakers and the Chicago Bulls, especially the Celtics and Lakers because half of the NBA's history is dominated by the two teams and both teams won more than 10 championships. The Bulls would become the third best out of the three, because they only six championships but if Jordan and Pippen had stayed longer it would be much longer.

In the modern era, there is still to be decided. If LeBron James worked with his teammates with the Cavaliers, they would have probably won seven championships and destroyed Jordan and the Bulls' record. What sickens me is people acted like the Cavaliers won titles, even though they didn't because James was a ball-hog back then. This became obvious in the 2007 Finals when they were beaten by the Spurs. There's Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, when they were swept by the Mavericks in 2011 and the Thunder in 2012 this kind of took Kobe's career a little downhill, but now that Dwight Howard is signed with the Lakers there is a little more hopes, because the Lakers have a really poor defense and they need someones like Howard. As for the Heat, the 2010-2011 was all disappointments. With James, Bosh and Wade everyone though the Heat would break the Bull's record of 72 wins. The Heat got swept by opponents they knew they could beat in the 2010-2011 season, 3-0 by the Bulls, 3-1 by the Celtics and 3-0 by the Mavericks. The 2011-2012 regular season fared much better, they beat Dallas 2-0 games, Bulls tied 2-2 games each team taking home wins, 3-1 against the Pacers but still struggled 3-1 against the Celtics.

It just all "depends" on your definitions of "best" whether it be "best" record. For best records, the Thunder, Bulls and Heat were the top three in the NBA in 2012. The NBA has attained much talent and never stopped, from the Jordan-era and the Larry Bird and Magic Johnson-eras, to an era where superstars like Dwayne Wade, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and LeBron James rise to stardom.

When it comes to championship legendaries, it is probably the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls and Spurs. Two from the Eastern Conference and two from the Western Conference.

In my opinion for 2011, it was the Bulls, Celtics and Mavericks. For 2012, it was the Thunder, Heat and Bulls. For 2013 I believe it'll be the Lakers, Heat and Thunder even throw in the Bulls there now that they've got Vladimir Radmanovic and Heat has got Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis.

Answer 2

The best NBA team of all time is the Boston Celtics. The Celtics have more championships than any team in baskeball history with 17. They won their latest title in 2008 when they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 4 games to 2. The Lakers are second to the Celtics with 14 titles, but trail the Celtics in head to head championship match-ups 9-2. After these teams would be the Chicago Bulls with 6 titles during the Michael Jordan era.
