I like good halfcourt passing and ball movement as much as I like transition opportunities. I think the 2001-02 Kings had a great balance. When healthy, they had amazing depth, wide-ranging versatility and every single player could pass and shoot. Too bad they couldn't defend and had only one player worth a damn in the clutch (Bibby).
If I'm being homer, the 91-92 Suns were fantastic fun, and the 92-93 Suns were about as complete an offensive team as has ever been constructed when healthy.

2005 Suns.
It was entertaining in that they put a lot of points on the board, but weren't really threatening.
Also agree with the post above about those early 2000's SAC teams.

That Laker team just beating the living fuck out of everybody (at least once Fisher came back). Almost flawless basketball.
The 90's sonics with Rainman, Glove, Detlef, Big Smooth, etc were also fun to watch.
Shaq, Penny, Scott, Anderson, Grant was a fun team too

I like this one
Showtime Lakers and Michael's Bulls.
I remember the opponents would be doing that little 2 point dance while the Lakers were heaving the ball full court and scoring before the opponent could get back. You couldn't take a second to admire yourself.
And we all know Michael was fun to watch, but Scottie Pippen on the break was a gazelle and was spectacular to watch.

not sure whos the most entertaining to watch tbh. run-and-gun teams would always give you eye joys when you watch their games but such style of play doesn't win championships, when the game is settled in a half-court tempo such teams are fucked and bound to lose

Huge revelation. If coaches see this post, the entire NBA could change.
Thanks!

Kobe already had 3 in the books. Pau couldn't win a single playoff game till Kobe took him in.
^Though Pau couldn't win a single playoff game till Kobe took him in.
Translation: To win playoff games, Kobe needed Pau.

Tbh, I'm pretty sure Kobe needed Fisher, Pau, Odom... and at least 6 other players. Otherwise they would've had to forfeit.

Would Kobe have made it out of the first round for the rest of his career without Pau? I doubt it.

Everybody; Kobe, Duncan, Dirk, MJ, Magic, Bird, everybody. It's a team game.

To play the game, but not to win it. Kobe had enough teammates to play, just not the right ones to win. He needed Pau in order to get to the next level. Shaq took Wade to the next level, and Pau to Kobe there after Shaq dropped him off.

By that logic, Pippen took MJ to the next level as well.

Robinson was over 60% at 10ppg, becoming a pretty reliable anchor for the team. IIRC, all of the final games were within ~10 points, so Timmy needed that anchor since the 25/14 he was putting up was as good as he could do. Don't kid yourself, he needed people, not just d-league scrubs, but people who could fill in roles he couldn't cover.
Terry averaged 18ppg for the Mavs, so Dirk can't take that claim either.

Denver Nuggets averaged 126.5 in 1981-82 and was a blast.
Any game when Tiny Archibald played and averaged 30 ppg.
Pau couldn't win a single playoff game till Kobe took him in.

That team was great. So sad on the last leg of the 3peat PJ, Kobe and Shaq spent it on a dick measuring contest. The 4 peat was loss in the crucible of trying to 3 peat ...it took a toll on all 3.
But I have to say the 1985 or 1987 Lakers. They were BOTH on a mission and would not be denied. 1985 was particularly sweet cuz we rang in Boston. But watching Magic start to take over as leader and to watch Worthy truly blossom and Scott become more integrated to the squad was beautiful. I also think McAdoo got to scratch as well (IIRC) ...Showtime at it's best. Magic was giving PG and fast-break clinics nightly.

Early 2000's Kings. Great offense, amazing ballmovement. Pretty much every player on those teams was a great passer, especially Webber and Divac. That is one of my favorite things in basketball, is good passing big-men.
