Best team ever? I guess ur too young to remember some of the 80s Celtics and Lakers or 90s bulls.

As for best run, 2001 Lakers lost 1 game n OT and swept the western conference. That included sweeping the spurs and kings. Iverson beating them n LA in OT in game 1 of nba finals to prevent an undefeated run still annoys me.

Thats not just me saying it. Thats coming from a lot of sports talk shows. I dont think a title team ever closed out on a 14 game win streak with probably a 20pt margin of victory.

They are putting up stats snd analytics that no other team has done.

I think the Warriors won 14 or 15 straight.

Yeah the 2017 team only lost one game in the finals. Thats probably the closest example in modern basketball. The Knicks will have more losses no matter what, but they *could* close out the final 3 series in sweeps.

He's probably a top 30 player. 33rd in career BPM, 15th in VORP, 21st in Win Shares, 32nd in PER.

Kobe is "overrated"? Dear god we have some absolutely brainless fans. Do tell how Kobe is "overrated"?
All the mythologizing of Kobe since his death has definitely resulted in him becoming a bit overrated. He’s now remembered as both a better player and person than he actually was.

The NBA Playoffs and the Finals have been fantastic as has the NHL Finals. I probably won't watch a random NBA game in winter but when it matters in these moments, it's amazing to watch. Take last night - Spurs lead then Knicks claw back to lead by double digits. Spurs go on a big run, crowd going insane, they take the lead with less than a minute left. Brunson, Wemby mistake, Brunson again. Last second shot doesn't go. Knicks have complete control of the series as the most famous city in the world celebrates and the rest of us are like, "oh, this may actually happen for New York." Incredible stuff.
