I have just realized thst the best team in the League Since 2000.....
2000: Los Angeles Lakers
2001: Los Angeles Lakers
2002: Los Angeles Lakers
2003: San Antonio Spurs
2004: Detroit Pistons
2005: San Antonio Spurs
2006: San Antonio Spurs
2007: San Antonio Spurs
2008: San Antonio Spurs
2009: Los Angeles Lakers
2010: Los Angeles Lakers
2011: Miami Heat
2012: Miami Heat
2013: San Antonio Spurs
2014: San Antonio Spurs
Nearly every single year the Spurs or Lakers except 2011 and 2012 (2004 is arguable)
Pd: 2008 Ginobili was injured, thats why Boston won the ring, but we could say its a tie.

The Celtics were the best team in 2008.
The Heat were the best team in 2013.

2008 - Boston (Manu was injured too) And no, it's not a tie.
2013 - Miami (Salty)
2006 - Dallas (wasn't Duncan injured? Or Manu?)

What are you talking about?
06 was the Heat...or if you are factoring in the regular season largely...the Mavs...definitely not the Spurs
08 was clearly the Celtics
11 was clearly the Mavs...how on earth were the Heat better? Not only did the Mavs have as good or better regular season, but they beat them in the finals
13...Heat

I just realized something:
00: Lakers
01: Lakers
02: Lakers
03: Spurs
04: Pistons
05: Spurs
06: Heat
07: Spurs
08: Celtics
09: Lakers
10: Lakers
11: Mavs
12: Heat
13: Heat
14: Spurs
The best teams aren't hard to figure out. I used a pretty hard formula. Can you guess it?

You're literally just picking who won the championship though lol
I can easily see an argument for 2013 spurs > 2013 Heat... they really outperformed them the whole way only to choke in a 1% probability of losing.
2011 Heat same thing.. they were whooping the mavs ass before they gave up a 15 point lead with like 2 minutes left in the game to go up 2-0 and had their best player underperform like no other great ever has. If the 2011 Heat just play average in the Finals they wouldve beat the mavs in 5 or less games. They played way below what they showed all playoffs long.
Winning and losing can be tricky.. theres a lot of luck involved in this stuff. If you replay the 11 Finals 10 times for example the heat win that shit 7 or 8 times out of 10. They were the better team.. they just choked/underperformed.

The Heat won 66 games, had a 27 game win streak, and won the championship beating the Spurs in not only Game 6 but also Game 7. And yet the Spurs outperformed them the whole way?

I could see an argument for the 13 Spurs...although I think they were grossly over-rated and actually lucked out with Wade being hurt. That 13 Heat team when right was the best team in my opinion. They had the best regular season record and then won the title with a hobbled/slumping team. If that doesn't earn you the best team...I don't know what does.
But you lose me in 2011...how were the Heat better?
The Mavs won 57 games and the Heat won 58 games.
The Mavs played in the tougher conference....and Dirk missed 9 games and was the most important player in the league to his team. So what...because the Heat won one more regular season game in the worse conference they were better?
Then the Mavs went 16-5 in the playoffs and beat the Heat.
Uhhhhh....just no...there is no argument for the Heat being better here.

I thought the spurs looked better throughout the playoffs.. they went 12-2 out west while the Heat struggled to beat the pacers. They were outperforming Miami all the way up to sure victory until they choked in a infinitely small odds situation.. up 5 under 30 seconds to win the title in 6 games and you choke that somehow?

On that logic...how can you then turn around and say the Heat were better in 2011?
