It's very boring. I loathe basketball. Since there was no hockey last season the sports bars all showed basketball games. That sucked.

I'm a Mavericks fan, unfortunately.

The Lakers are the best team in history, unquestionably. They have won more than 50% of all of the NBA championships. The teams with Magic, Kareem and Worthy were the single greatest team in NBA history and we will never see another like it.

I'm from Detroit and I love my Pistons!I hate the way the current Pistons play. The refs have stopped calling fouls for some reason so the Pistons just steamroll over everyone and slow down the game.

The Celtics have won more NBA championships than the Lakers, 16 to 13, including eight in a row during the Bill Russell years.

It was the Lakers and the Clippers. Then they lost their players. Now I prefer the Cavaliers

I used to be a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, although when the whole team was dissolved to keep that Ball Hog Kobe I stopped watching Basketball.

Also, Basketball has become so much about all of these prima donna players, that it's no longer about the Game, so I don't want to watch it.

My favorite team is the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Before the T'Wolves were formed (in '89 if I remember correctly), my favorite team was the Boston Celtics, and they are still my second favorite team.

The Celtics are also the best team in Basketball history. You just can't argue with 8 straight titles.

Although if your talking about the level of talent on a team, instead of the accomplishments of the franchise, I would have to say Dream Team I, from the '92 Barcelona games, was the best team in history...just look at the roster.

Michael Jordan
Magic Johnson
Larry Bird
Patrick Ewing
David Robinson
Charles Barkley
Karl Malone
John Stockton
Clyde Drexler
Scottie Pippen
Chris Mullin
Christian Laettner

Unbeatable...get any other 12 players you want in the HISTORY of the game, they won't beat this team.

Laettner. Ha!

Laettner. Ha!

LOL...I know, but the main reason he was included was that they still wanted one college player, and selected the one that was universally regarded as the best in the nation at that time. This was the year Laettner had that buzzer beater against Kentucky before leading Duke to the Championship over Michigan. Laettner had actually already been drafted #1 by the Timberwolves, but hadn't even signed a contract yet, so was still considered a "college" player.

As I recall, he didn't actually play much, but hey, Mullin wasn't that much better. :p

My favorite team is the da bulls who had the best basketball team of all time for one season in 95/96 or 96/97 season (I'm not sure which season) when they went 72-10. I don't think anybody will ever be able to beat that record.

Actually, the worst record ever was 9-73 by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 73/73 season.

I've been a San Antonio Spurs fan my whole life, by the way.
