    Default Most wins against top 15 all-time teams

    Based on SRS, please find the top 15 best teams in NBA history based on SRS:



    Crazy to think that LeBron James faced 4 of the top 15 teams all-time

    2015 Warriors
    2016 Warriors
    2017 Warriors
    2008 Celtics

    More impressive, he faced 4 of the top 15 best teams all-time. No other player has played more than two

    Some players were blessed to play ON the stacked teams, while others were forced to play against them

    Side note: I didn't see the Utah Jazz on this list

    It's only a crazy dream until you do it.

    LeBron didn't face the 2013 Thunder, but he did face the '08 Celtics who you missed

    Where is Chicago the years without Jordan? Why are they only there the years with Jordan? I thought Pippen was MVP and they basically made the finals?

    Looks to me like Jordan...is the 2nd/5th/and 9th best team of all time.

    Where is LeGOAT?

    LeBron faced the 08 Celtics as well and took them to a gruelling 7 games

    MJ on the other hand got his ass swept by the 86 Celtics

    It's weird the 2013 Thunder are ahead of the 86 Celtics.

    You realized that Lebron shot 35%fg and had 6TO/g against those celtics in what was his 2nd worst series ever, right? While Jordsn averaged 41 ppg on 50% on the 86 Celtics.

    Apples and oranges.

    He should also realize that the 8th seeded Hawks also took them to 7 in the first round, while beating the Pistons and Lakers in 6. That Celtics team scaled their effort to the competition the entire playoff run.

    troll thread as usual but on other notes it'll be seen as a little unbelievable in like 10 yrs that durant/westbrook never won anything. Ran into some great all time teams and some bad luck with injuries.

    True. They might have played down to their competition. There is no way the Atlanta Hawks should have given them much more trouble than the Lakers did.

    What does "troll thread" mean to you?

    A thread filled with literal history and facts?
