3) 2005 Spurs

... Fakers shouldn't even be on the list. we all know that Tim Donaghy rigged those 3 Finals. as soon as Kobe was accused of rape, the NBA no longer wanted the Fakers to win so they stopped giving them foul calls.

1.2001 Lakers

2.2000 Lakers

5.2004 Pistons

6.2002 Lakers

7.2005 Spurs

The 06 Heat are the worst nba champions ever.

Answer 6

Def. the 05 Spurs.

To beat the defending champs in 7 games and to have memories of tht series stuck in peoples heads, how they not be the best team?

first 4 games all blowouts

game 5 Horrys 18 or 21 points and overtime killer

game 6 Detroit coming from behind to take game 6

game 7 Duncan winning his 3rd finals MVP and taking over the 3rd quarter.

Answer 7

of course its the lakers because i am obsessed with the lakers

Answer 8

Lakers, they did it 3 in a row. None of the other teams on their could even get a repeat.

Answer 9

9) 2006 Miami Heat - I like to give credit where credit is due, but "FLUKE" comes to mind when I think of this team. They weren't great in the regular season, winning 52 games, or in the playoffs. While it was great that Shaq got a ring without Kobe, seeing Dwayne Wade get fouls calls simply for being looked at by the other defender was disgusting.

8) 2007 San Antonio Spurs - This team was business as usual throughout the season. You really get the sense that this team "cruised" to another championship after sweeping the Cavs in the most boring NBA Final ever. There aren't any memorable moments from this championship team to be considered great or special.

7) 2002 LA Lakers - Besides the great 2002 Western Conference Final against the Kings, this Laker team was never really challenged. They blew away the Nets 4-0 in the Finals to win their 3rd straight championship.

6) 2005 San Antonio Spurs - I'll remember this team most as a club in transition, officially becoming Tim Duncan's team. It would be the first of 2 championships he'd win without David Robinson. It was also the emergence of the new big three of Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli. They beat a legit powerhouse Detroit Piston's team in 7 games to win their 3rd championship since 1999.

5) 2008 Boston Celtics - We all know the story already, KG, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce all played for crappy clubs their whole careers, then together won an NBA title. What stood out most about this team for me though is there dominant regular season, winning 66 games, and their uneven post season. They were nearly knocked out in the first round by the 37 win, 8th seed Atlanta Hawks. In the second round the Cavs, a 45 win team took them to 7 games, but they thoroughly outplayed a great club in Detroit and absolutely killed the Lakers in the Finals.  

4) 2001 LA Lakers - This championship season was the coming out party for Kobe Bryant and the first season of the "Kobe/Shaq" fued. The two players struggled for supremacy throughout the regular season, bickering back and forth while both averaged 29 points a game on their way to an 11 game drop-off 56 win regular season. So what were the post season results? A 15-1 playoffs record, the best record in NBA history.

3) 2003 San Antonio Spurs - This team was for real. Duncan had won his second MVP and after a few years of beatings taken by the LA Lakers, the Spurs were ready to dish one out. They eliminated the Lakers, in 6 games with a 110-82 thrashing, ended their "dynasty" en route to begining their own.

2) 2004 Detroit Pistons - The Pistons were a very good ball club for years, especially defensively. But in the 2004 season they took it up a notch by adding Rasheed Wallace. They holding teams to 60 and 70 points regular, but went unnoticed for most of the season as true contenders. They were heavily unfavored in the Finals vs. the then team of the decade LA Lakers, but won in a "shocking" upset 4 games to 1.

1) 2000 LA Lakers - The Lakers kicked off the new milenium by begining a dynasty. A team with 2 of arguably the best 3 players of the decade in Kobe and Shaq (Duncan being the 3rd) dominated the regular season winning 67 games. They overcame a 15 point deficet in the conference finals vs. the players in one of the greatest moments in playoffs history. Also while Kobe struggled for the series, he came through scoring 8 points in overrtime after Shaq fouled out, to seal a Laker finals victory.  

Answer 10

All expect 2002 Lakers. This is a hard question I didn't watch all these series I can't pick one.
