Right know, of course it would be the Lakers. This is somewhat redundant. All time would be the '96 Bulls. There record was 72-10. Since were on the topic of best teams, let me get this off of my chest.
The '01 Miami Hurricanes are not the GOAT. That would be the '95 Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Well, for the 2008-2009 season, I think It would be Lakers. The lakers have a strong defense and when you get stops, you get plays on offensive and they are just beastly on offense. They got power, height, and 3-point shooting on the team. They also have a killer bench. Cavs came close but could not play under pressure in the playoffs and got no bench.
Lakers are too good because there young and are very versatile. Also the cavs have a shot next year with shaq but LeBron will be out of there any moment now.
Now childrens lets remeber something here... Lakers are good because of KOBE. 90% of their playbook is centered around him. Once he leaves their screwed. Also, the Lakers just happen to have a tendency to get away with some of lowdown dirtiest stuff ever. Last years game against the Celts, was pathetic, if not downright, street fighting. Elbows, Heavy fouls and more. And alot were not called and everyone at ESPN might as well quit their jobs and become publicists for Kobe. "He's the greatest!" "Look at how he controls!" "KOBBRYANTSITEHBSTPROFESIONALNBA PLAEYROFALTIEM!1!1!11!" And also yes the Bulls in the 90's were the best NBA team.
