Also, I think a case can be made soon for the clips big 3 ...
Not my list not sure I agree their determination of "super" ... with the full list or order:
But two Laker teams on this list ...
I think the 1984 Lakers despite making the finals should be included tbh ...I expected them to win. I didnt expect the 2013 Lakers to ring and said that on here. I did expect us to ring in 2004 But after Colorado I knew we were screwed ...thanks, Kobe!
I also the Jail Blazers from 2000 should be mentioned
I think a case can be made for some other teams as well.
Thoughts?
Also, I think a case can be made soon for the clips big 3 ...
They're not a super team.
Look at some of the teams on that list ...
Clips big 3 or at least the top 2 rivals most of them.
1. 2013 Lakers
2. 2004 Lakers
3. 2011 Heat
4. 2016 Spurs
5. 2004 Mavs
6. 1996 Magic
7. 2016 Warriors
06-07 Mavs as a super team
Not a bad list but I would rank 2004 higher than 2013 which is a vastly overrated team. Cannot believe how many of you here thought they would ring.
Never have I felt more validated on my hoops knowledge than that season.
I said no way that team makes it past WCF I predicted 2nd round loss ...
no one else was even that close.
Y'all was ing on here like when we got Pau ...
The 2013 team was enormously hyped to be great. Dwight was the next Shaq, people still thought Kobe was a top tier player, Artest said they'd go 73-9, and every Laker fan was going nuts about how they finally got their point guard after years of Fisher and Smush Parker and so on. They were supposed to be the team to shut Miami down with two elite bigs and a star who Laker fan said was better than LeBron. You may have argued they were a second round out but that's not where expectations were. Expectations were them dominating the West leading up to an epic Finals matchup against Miami.Not a bad list but I would rank 2004 higher than 2013 which is a vastly overrated team.

its pretty stupid to look at just 1 year. the heatles werent a failure. they were together for 4 years, went to 4 finals, and won 2 rings
the warriors? they won the le a year before this video was made. besides, i wouldnt consider them a super team since almost all their stars were "home grown." this years version, though, different story
1. they were ... by folks that buy in to hype ...and Laker fans that dont follow hoops closely.
2. That team was injured early bit they were still disappointing
3. Dwight was never on Shaq's level which shaq told us repeatedly.
4. Nash, Pau already past his prime same as Artest. By 2015 Nash and Artest were both pretty much retired.
5. Pau and Dwight did have some decent seasons after 2013 though ...
6. Kobe was not on Lebron's level by 2013 GTFO LOL using Laker fans ranking as basis for your argument wgaf? (but he did will us to the playoffs and was super impressive in doing so in 2013 despite high usage rates ...until his achilles snapped.)
The media hyped them to too. Back then everyone thought the Lakers were getting 2010 Howard and that Dwight only played ty because he wanted out of Orlando. He was the next Lakers great bigman, the next in line after Wilt, Kareem, and Shaq. And everyone acted like the team still had 2009 Kobe Bryant, not Kobe entering the Patrick Ewing phase of his career where he was slowing down bigtime but still wanted the ball every time down the floor. Nash was coming off an impressive couple of years in Phoenix and everyone thought it was an obvious trade, that LA's picks would be late first rounders anyways and that you mortgage the future when you have such a clear path to a le with Howard and Bryant together.
I know Mike Greeny Geenberg declared us champions the day after on Mike & mike it all went down.
That clown doesnt know about hoops ... needs to stick to baseball.
I agree. We were stacked but never considered a Super team.

So 2013 Lakers have to be the most disappointing superteam ever. They were the favorites in Vegas a month before the season started and needed a bunch of questionable officiating to even make the playoffs (eg shooting 50 FT vs Golden State). It wasn't just Spurstalk haters hyping the 2013 Lakers as a great team that should have rang.
They were selling your .
That doesnt prove anything as far as most disappointing ever ...goes. Are you saying that they had the bestodds of any team ever not to ring? Otherwise not sure it proves anything except they had the most hype in 2013
And besides im just arguing 2014 was more disappointing for me bacause Shaqobe was still near their prime ...i truly thought we would ring pre Colorado ...and even got suckered a bit after .4 but pistons scared the out of me once they got Sheed he was a known laker killer
I cant help it if lots of people dont know about hoops.
Hey man, this is getting old. I've been a Clipper fan since 98. Can we please let this one go?
A le favorite just eeking into the playoffs on the refs back is enormously disappointing, I don't know how you can argue this. It's like you're looking at this with hindsight instead of in the moment, just like when you try to argue with me that the 2004 Finals wasn't a monumental upset.
2013 Lakers is not much of a disappointment, they were plagued with injuries afterall...
With the obvious ref-rape no way should the kings be on this list. I would also have 2004 near the top.
