So if/when the Warriors lock down the championship, are they the best single season team ever? -- (edited)

They kind of have to be right? Best record ever in the regular season and champs too.

Responses:

I would still go with the Bulls 95/96. - Will Hunting Jun 13, 16:35 2
- I think that's the top comparison, with what I was thinking - simple numbers and talent. - b. Jun 13, 16:51 1
  - for me the top 4 i've seen are probably the 85-86 c's, 86-87 lakers, 91-92 bulls and the 15-16 warriors.... - x Jun 13, 16:57
No but they're in the discussion. Rule changes and such make it hard to compare teams from different decades. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 16:17 2
- yeah, it's impossible to really do. the 60's celts teams are sure in the discussion with all the championships, but how do you compare them to... - x Jun 13, 16:38 1
  - Exactly. There's so much that changes each decade that they're basically playing a different game after a while. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 16:50
Sure. I could agree with this. Best record, best team stats, champions. But it comes with a caveat. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:10 8
- it'd be more than one hit, they did go all the way last season. -- nm - b. Jun 13, 16:16 7
  - Good point. I was just trying to draw a distinction between "best teams for a season or two" and "best teams of all times." - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:24 6
    - heh, I'm ok with saying what I said, obviously; but reading your im made me a little reflexively vexed. "can't they win and be laud- - b. Jun 13, 16:30
    - The Shaq/Kobe Lakers arguably weren't as good as the Kareem/Magic Lakers. -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 16:29 4
      - i'm comfortable saying the shaq/kobe lakers were certainly not as good as the magic/kareem lakers....nm - x Jun 13, 16:39 1
        
        They were fortunate to get 3. Al time collapse by Portland and an all-time fishy referee-game vs Sacramento. - Will Hunting Jun 13, 16:46
      - I can agree with that, too. And there's an argument that even the Kareem/Magic years weren't the best Lakers teams of all time. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:35 1
        
        Wilt/Jerry/Elgin agree. -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 16:43
Best single season team? Without question. -- nm - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 13, 15:58
For a single season? They're in the discussion. -- nm - David Jun 13, 15:54 2
- yeah, i agree with that...nm - x Jun 13, 15:59 1
  - They're in the discussion, but I don't think they win the argument. -- nm - pmb Jun 13, 16:32
no...nm - x Jun 13, 15:51
i think it puts them in the Detroit Pistons strata - senor dentista Jun 13, 15:49
that means they will have had the best season ever and, to me, are one of the best ever overall; but there's a ways to go yet for goat. -- nm - b. Jun 13, 15:46
got a ways to go -- nm - budice Jun 13, 15:46 17
- I meant best single season team ever, not best team overall ever, because that would be dumb. -- nm* - Shaun Jun 13, 15:50
- nice phrasing, boo. -- nm - b. Jun 13, 15:47 15
  - Im pretty religious when it comes to MJ Bulls -- nm - budice Jun 13, 15:58 14
    - do you think the 95-96 bulls were the best version? i can entertain the thought that maybe they were even better in 91-92 - x Jun 13, 16:10 12
      - I thought the 91-92 was the better version of the team, but I do think the depth of the 95-96 team makes it a tougher call. -- nm - pmb Jun 13, 16:36 1
        
        there's no doubt the later bench is wayyy better...nm - x Jun 13, 16:50
      - That's a good point about the '91-'92 team. Those Bulls teams were the best I've ever seen. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 16:15 9
        
        In a better era of basketball, they were still dominant. That matters. -- nm - David Jun 13, 16:23 8
        
        while i'm not at all convinced that era was so much better than now, another reason that i think the 91-92 team was likely better was because.... - x Jun 13, 16:33 7
        
        The first Dream Team beats the 2012 Dream Team by like 25. -- nm - David Jun 13, 16:58 6
        
        i don't think i mentioned that the first dream team wasn't better.....nm - x Jun 13, 17:03
        
        that was so laughable, intl players going up against their idols - budice Jun 13, 17:00 4
        
        i remember when they played angola.... - x Jun 13, 17:06 3
        
        I think my favorite story was how Jordan was late to a function with someone else and reporters were like "What's Daly going to say?" - Will Hunting Jun 13, 17:15 1
        
        heh. though apparently jordan was the only one who actually bothered to watch film of the opponents....nm - x Jun 13, 17:19
        
        Imagine if you were an oddsmaker having to set a line on that one. -- nm - David Jun 13, 17:07
    - I just meant we used the same words. :) - -- nm - b. Jun 13, 16:03
