Tim Donaghy look him up. He shed light and on how game 7 of the Laker vs Trailblazer 2000 series and the 2002 Laker vs King series, which both resulted in Laker championship. Mavs should have won in 2006 and Suns should have a ring. Mavs might be one of the worst because it was in a finals series. D Wade absolute ANNIHILATED the finals free throw record with 97 free throws to SHAQ’s 94. The only two people who have more had 98, and 99 and anyone else with even 80 or more attempts, not named D-wade (for what reason I don’t know) and Shaq who had hack a shack to INTENTIONALLY put him on the line because he was a line liability, Literally played in the EARLY 70s or earlier because the style of play and possession where higher. No person in the modern NBA era has come even close (no one within 20 free throws lol) to accomplishing those amount of free throw attempts dwade has taken in the finals (and to make this even worse it was a 6 games series lol) D-Wade is good but nobody is going to UNINTENTIONALLY foul Dwade in the finals more than people are INTENTIONALLY foul Shaq in the finals...

Didn't even remember their regular season had been so pedestrian statistically, which is a little bit of a shame cause if they had won at least 60 games I think people wouldn't be overlooking them as much today.

This was great Jonny and I think the Lakers might be the greatest playoff team of all-time considering who they beat to get to the finals in 01 with winning the last 8 regular season games and 11 straight playoff wins. I saw that dominant run that the Lakers put on but I think there are teams who can challenge them for greatest team ever. Great video.

I gotta give it to the 1995 Rockets. You've got Drexler, Hakeem, Thorpe, Cassell, Horry, Maxwell, and Kenny Smith. They were so good they got past the Jazz, Suns, and Spurs just to get to the Finals. Then they swept the Magic. That's just a killer playoff run. People prefer to give teams credit for their playoff record and season record, but imo if you're the #1 seed, you should have an easier road to the Finals unless the 2nd seed in your conference just happens to be great as well. Here, the Rockets took on 4 teams that won more than 57 games and 2 of them won above 60 games. That Rockets team could've taken anyone down, but they're not given credit because of their regular season record.

Can you make a vid on how good was Wes Unseld? He passed away recently and that would be a perfect video to honor his legacy.

These titles were fixed for the Lakers by NBC's Dick Ebersol. After MJ retired, Ebersol decided to make Shaq and Kobe the new good guys for the 1999-00 season. After NBC lost the contract, Shaq and Kobe didn't win the title together.

A 96's bulls team. Or the 2010 lakerS. 2014 Heat team or the 2016 Cav's that beat the Warriors. But I still take the 2001 Lakers

I know the 2016 Warriors had a better record but I think the 2001 Lakers would beat them in a full series. The Warriors have absolutely no answer for Shaq.

This team was stacked.

The only reason imo they lost that first game to Philadelphia was because they lost momentum from ending their playoffs so early to get to the Finals. It's what happens when you steamroll over everybody, which is what they did.

56-26 is a great regular season record considered the best two players from the team did not get along and the starting point guard missed almost the whole season. But when Shaq and Kobe clicked and Fisher back... Baq-to-Baq championship!

I was a blazers fan. I cried.

Judging from playoff performance this is my pick, the highest 2 regular season winners one looked surprisingly weak in the finals other than Rodman, it was pippen and jordans worst playoff series offensively, the other didn't finish at all.

Also IMO, these Lakers had the greatest collection of role players in NBA history.

Simply unstoppable

Pacers so close to a championship that 2000 year too 😢 we couldn’t stop Shaq that series

I agree with you that this Lakers squad could be the best team ever assembled. They are in the conversation. I watch that team all the time back when I was a kid, I was a big fan of the Lakers. You would have to say this team is the greatest playoff team ever assembled. 15-1 is a record that will never be beaten. You can throw the regular season right out the window, they weren't even trying half of those games.

Miss these Lakers

i remember this was the start of kobe vs shaq, they were now both in the top 3 in ppg, who will lead the team? the media asks.. but they were strugling and complacent, fisher was also injured. he came back, then they turned it on near the playoffs, cut isiah rider, and continued that momentum till june.

I like the earlier best Lakers, Celtics and Bulls teams, but no one could be the 2001 Playoff Lakers once they got healthy & chemistry. The 15-1 and record Margin of Victory over so many excellent teams has yet to be matched.

#21 Defense in the league?! No way they should even be in the conversation for best team ever.

I watched all the series and man the dominance is too much from any team. Even the all star team of that year might get swept.

man how do you beat that team in 7 games? shaq just wears teams down to a nub. seriously, shaq is a unicorn, there has probably never been another human that big, that strong, that athletic in human history

@@kookou13 97 Jazz would beat the Lakers. Put Shaq in a pick n roll with an elite mid-range shooter like Karl Malone and we'd really see how much of an elite defender Shaq is. Karl Malone is an elite post defender, and is good at using the bully ball Shaq does against him, making him lose balance and lose his footing. Kobe would be tough to deal with, but Byron Rusell might be able to keep Kobe from going off. Meanwhile, Kobe was an undisciplined defender in 01, and Shaq literally was just a shot blocker and an immovable object, so he didn't even need to have a good defensive IQ. Karl Malone could bait Shaq out of the paint, or take the open mid-range they give him. Jeff Hornacek was also a 3-point sniper still, and. the only thing I could see the Jazz losing is the rebound battle, but LA would have to settle for more long 2's and 3's, so Karl Malone could pick up more rebounds. Overall, Jazz in 6 or 7.

You should make a video about one of the Warriors teams to add to the list. I think they have a case

They're in the conversation. But man there's s lot of dominant teams out there.

Of course it's hard to say who would beat who so I'll say what would be good matchup. The early 80's Lakers had a lot of talent on those squads like Norm Nixon, Wilkes, and a young Cooper, Mac and other's 😅86" Celtics, can't see nobody stopping McHale because Shaq couldn't guard him because he would stay in foul trouble. 89' Bad Boys, everyone knows them for being physical but never mention they had a lot of skills on this team plus they went against Jordan so they would be ready for a Kobe. This team Houston is a maybe because they went against a Shaq+Penny led by Hakeem a bunch of shooters and a slasher named The Glide. The 96' Bulls because they had a Big team and 3 HOF players. The 04' Pistons because they beat Shaq+Kobe. I think it's the 14' Spurs led by Duncan, Parker, Manu and a young Kawhi. The 17' Warriors had a whole lot of fire power in Curry, Thompson and Durant who will be in the HOF one day. Oh I forgot the 83" Sixers with big Mo, little Mo, The DOCTOR , Toney and Bobby Jones and others.

Do this on showtime lakers, the warriors, and bulls

They have a lot of players that became coaches as well

Crazy discrepancy between their good but somewhat underwhelming regular season record and their insane playoffs record. They really must have been going through the motions in the regular season.

They also dealt with lots of injuries. I remember Kobe broke his hand at one point and missed a lot of games.

Would've liked to see a matchup for this team compared to the Warriors team that went 73-9 in a different era.

This team was built for the playoffs. I honestly don’t think ANYBODY could have beaten the 01 Lakers in a seven game series.

Shaq got away with murder against Dikembe Mutombo during those finals.

do one on the Warriors that went 16-1 in the playoffs

Would love to see the warriors play this team

the 1960's warriors were better than this 2001 lakers because they had the prime wilt chamberlain

They had the greatest playoff run in NBA history, but their regular season wasn't good enough to make the greatest team, period. Still, my favorite version of the Lakers.

1. 96 bulls 2. 2001 Lakers. 3. 17 warriors That’s my top 3

I’ll put Warriors second then showtime lakers

Those regular season stats are misleading. The Lakers slept through the first 74 games then hit the afterburner and left everyone else in their dust. This _should have been_ a 65 win team at least, with a top 5 defense but they were injured, inconsistent, and complacent to start the year. As soon as Fish came back, they began to gel and hit their stride just before the playoffs. Remember, the Spurs were the top seed that year with the league's best record and home court. Many figured they would be favorites. The Lakers made the Spurs look like a fucking D3 squad. They took them apart with ease, it was insane watching them beat a prime Duncan by 40. They were on that good of a roll. The only team that could ACTUALLY flip the proverbial switch.

I think so

Best team I ever seen shaq’s domination Kobe’s youthful exuberance and best role players ever with the best coach ever unbeatable 2 players averaging 30
