In before 2007 Spurs, 2010 Lakers
Rockets
Players or teams?
07 Spurs
95 Rockets
06 Heat
considering what a ty era it was, most of those 70's champions are probably the worst.
pre-80s compe ion in general sucked
late 70s and early 80s is when the league started to really become infused with widespread talent
Lakers fans will call the spurs les bogus because "the compe ion was weak". Some will say Kobe > Jordan because "Jordan's compe ion was weak"
Apparently compe ion is only strong when the lakers do something good
The 06 Heat team was stacked. The Spurs were better then anyone in 07, but the real finals were vs the Suns, its not Spurs fault the Eastern Conference was weaker that season. And the 10 Lakers team was damn good, they had a solid opposition in the C's team, Perkins went down in game 6, otherwise the C's won it in 6 or 7 maxi.
2007 was just a terrible year for the NBA...one of the most uninteresting seasons and postseasons in my lifetime. LeBron's Game 5 and the GSW-Dallas series are the only things worth mentioning that year.
06 Heat. Stern just wanted them to win...
This.
00s has been a strong decade overall, so I don't think any championship team from this decade was particularly weak. But gun to my head, I'd pick the '07 Spurs and the '10 Lakers as the weakest.
People massively overrate that Celtics team. Old, slow, banged up, and only advanced to the Finals because Lebron decided to give one massive you to Dan Gilbert by tanking the series before bolting off to Miami.
The 07 Spurs weren't really a weak team, it's just their road to the le was so weak and unchallenging. That wasn't their fault, of course, they didn't force the Mavs to choke in the 1st round, they didn't suspend Amare, and they didn't force LeBron + a lottery team to be their Finals opponent. But that whole postseason was just really weak and the 07 Spurs legacy unfairly takes a hit because of it.
They went 16-4, but yeah, that run just didn't feel as rewarding and as satisfying as other championship years. Some (I think Bill Simmons) have even called that the best Spurs team ever. Maybe they were, but unfortunately we'll never know since they'd played nothing but weak/good teams on their way to the le. They didn't beat one great team en-route and that fact will always loom over that run.
2011 Mavs.
Back - to -Back tho !!
Other than how that dumbass Avery Johnson ed over the Clippers (and ironically his own team) by tanking at the end of the regular season to draw the Warriors in the playoffs, I actually enjoyed that season overall, tbh....
2008 made a mockery of the NBA with those Celtics and Lakers BS trades, THAT was a ty season, imho...
Swept the defending champions.
Beat the Thunder.
Beat the Heat.
I thought it was one of the more impressive runs of the last decade.
The 'yeah, but...' les
FWIW, according to SRS, the worst NBA champion ever was the 1957-58 Hawks, with an SRS of 0.82...
Fluke. Big Daddy Tyson trade to OKC goes through and that run doesn't even happen. Didn't help they blew it up for fatass and the drama queen.
How is any of that even remotely relevant?
