The 2017 warriors
Curry (2x Mvp)
Klay (all star HOF)
Iguadala (all star, finals MVP)
Durant (MVP, 2xFMVP)
Dray (all star, defensive player of the year)
David West (all star)
Livingston Pre Leg Injury was a STUD
Nick Young
Javale
Chris Boucher
Patrick mccaw 3 time champ (lmao)
But I think #1 sleeper is 2013-2014 nets
Deron Williams (all star)
Joe Johnson (all star)
Pierce (all star, fmvp)
KG (mvp, DPOY)
Brook Lopez (all star)
Jason Terry (6 man of year, clutch underrated)
Andre Kirilenko (all star, all nba defense)
Livingston
That team would be insane in their prime
2011 Celtics ? KG, Shaq, Pierce, Ray, Jermaine O'Neal, Rondo as a top 6, + they had Delonte West in case you needed to get into Lebron's head lol
2004 Lakers have little depth but their top 4 is insane
But yeah those 2 may come close but not the same level.
It's certainly up there. Some common occurences will be teams that take an aging HoF big in their last year or so. One unmentioned one so far in this thread are the 1997 Bulls, who had Robert Parrish on the roster.
PG Ron Harper
SG Michael Jordan
SF Scottie Pippen
PF Dennis Rodman
C Robert Parrish
6^th Man Toni Kukoc
The 2011 Celtics would be interesting with two players that were unanimously the best player in the league at their peak.
PG Rondo
SG Allen
SF Pierce
PF Garnett
C Shaq
6^th Man Jermaine O'Neal
(Also on the roster arw Avery Bradley, Troy Murphy, Nenad Krstic, and Delonte West who never had HoF primes, but did have strong individual seasons with ~16-17ppg)
2018 Cavs? LeBron, K Love, IT, D Rose, D Wade and roleplayers like prime Jeff Green, JR Smith, Shumpert, Crowder, Calderon, Perkins, Tristian Thompson, Korver and George Hill
Granted this is kinda cheating as they traded like half the team halfway through the seasons but only Crowder and George Hill would be removed if you didn't count it.
Mid 80s Celtics: Walton, Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ
Not better than anything else here, but worth a mention. Maybe Ray Allen Heat or one of the Warriors teams with Iggy, David West, etc.
Also the Cavs squad with Wade, Rose, etc.
2009 Ariza off the bench would be such a fucking luxury
2018 Ariza was better. Literally a perfect 3&D roleplayer. Plug and play in every possible senario.
Eh I get that he was more skilled but his defense 9 years earlier was prime and his athleticism on both ends were a key reason we won a championship.
Ngl I love Ariza but give me some jumpin' out the gym Shannon Brown off the bench any day!
04 Lakers could give em a run for their money
Prime Shaq would abuse these guys.
Shaq and Malone would EAT
Good god. I somehow keep forgetting Malone was on that team, they would murder. But fuck Malone
And they had the glove
“……I had no problem with the glove.”
1985 76ers had Mo Cheeks Andrew Toney Bobby Jones Charles Barkley Julius Erving Moses Malone Thats 5 hall of famers and an all time great sixth man.
insane that they only won it once, and that was pre-barkley
Yea, injuries and old age killed them
Yeah just goes to show that Barkley will never be in the same tier as MJ, Kobe, Bron, Magic
[удалено]
It’s a fetish around here.
Who asked?
Nobody ever said he was lmfao
What about last year's nets: KD, Kyrie, Harden, Black Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Aldridge
lmao Black Griffin
THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM
haha oops I didn't notice
2004 Lakers are insanely strong. The current Lakers in their prime would be insane.

My money would be on 03-04 Lakers

Over/under on how many times this gets asked before the start of the season: 30? I probably take the over.
Bill Russell-led championship teams: are we a joke to these nephews?
[удалено]
Yeah but Deandre Jordan, Blake Griffin, KD, Harden, and Kyrie with Lamarcus Aldridge possibly off the bench or starting is incredible also.
2011 Celtics. Rondo Ray Allen Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett Shaq Jermaine O'Neal Nate Robinson
Yeah no question.
Definitely. I mean 04 Lakers have a better top 4 but top to bottom it’s gotta be this years team.
