It's not slander, stop saying everything is slander. They weren't a good team compared to the rest of the teams on the list. One of the most impressive runs not one of the best teams huge difference
@@KhalylStewardFinally someone with a brain. Like, they won the championship obviously they’re good? But if you compare them to other championship teams it’s different
Do you know how much of a carry job that season was for Hakeem? That one ring might be the most powerful ring in league history, just because of the strength of every team he beat, and the strength of his own team. Hakeem in 95 might be the most impressive post season run I’ve ever seen
I think the 1995 rockets has to be B tier because even though they only won 47 games, they beat two 60 win teams and beat a 59 and 57 win team. That’s crazy. And them adding Clyde in the middle of the season and not the start could be a major factor to why they only won 47 games. Or maybe I’m just a rockets fan yappin
2011: - Beat Brandon Roy & LaMarcus Aldrige in the first round. - Swept the reigning champion Kobe & Gasol Lakers team in the second round - Beat the Young Thunder Harden, Russ, & KD in 5 Games in the Conference finals - Beat the big three Heat in the Finals winning 3 straight games. B tier while this year's Boston Celtics is in A🤔
@@vnkawdi its not about picking your teams, its about the level of competition. Doing a tier list on how teams were constructed does nothing but overlooks the run itself.
As a warriors fan, I will happily assert that any other year damn near that rockets team cruises to a championship similar to how the Celtics did this year. Like, they crushed basically everyone but us, cause we were the greatest team ever. That WCF was bigger than the real finals that year imo. To me, whoever won that was going to get the trophy. I remember still being terrified even while they were missing all those threes game 7. I vividly remember getting pissed at some of our turnovers and saying "FUCK, the rockets just want it more than us! This would set basketball back decades if we let this style of play win."
@@greyklopstock7155”That WCF was damn near bigger than the real finals that year” yeah no shit. It was Lebron and a bunch of fucking bums against 4-5 hall of famers in their prime. The WCF was easily the most important series that year.
@@canonhayes9330the reason why is becauae most people love the 2015 Spurs and they team play. The Celtics are legit the best passing team of all time over the 2015 Spurs. Plus they had more star power and deeper team then 2015 Spurs.
Crazy to not start with the 83 sixers. Swept the prime showtime lakers, put up at the time the best record ever, had two MVPs in Dr J and Moses Malone. I mean, they absolutely STYLED on the entire league that year.
Kyrie in 2016 missed the first quarter of the season coming back from that knee injury in the previous finals. Always seemed like he didn’t get back right until the playoffs
One of the things I like about convos like these is that when you adjust criteria, the list will look mad different. For example, if we were talking less about skill of the team and more about what they were able to do with what they had, there'd be more carry jobs at the top of the list and the 04 Pistons would be in S Tier. But because of the criteria set before the start, them being in B make sense
Kyrie didn’t have a great regular season in 2015-2016, but you have to remember he was coming off recovering from a kneecap fracture he suffered in the 2015 Finals. He just had to work his way back into game shape during the season, then turned up in the playoffs.
Glsd that you out the Raptors in B tier. They were a very solid team with great depth. Kawhi even sat out games in the post season and the other guys came through. There was even discussion (as stupid as it was) whether the team was better without Kawhi.
Them potentially going back-to-back is something that would be incomprehensibly unacceptable. That could potentially feel like if Hitler started WW3 and went back-to-back on all of us.
Some of these rankings are weird. How are you S tier if you didn't dominate both reg and post season? '86 Celtics are A, but 2000 Lakers who lost 8 games are s?! What? 2000 Lakers went 5 games in the 1st round. That should be automatic disqualifier for S. '08 Celtics, S?! How are '08 stomping other champions when they couldn't even stomp their own competition in their playoff run?
2013 Heat didn't set the record for a win streak. Come on, Sage. They won 27 games, still 5 games behind YOUR Lakers. Plus, that Heat team was one rebound away from losing the Finals. How is that an S tier?
Super nitpicky, but I would’ve loved to hear your thoughts on the 83 Sixers team. Lost in the finals the prior year and picked up Moses Malone who was MVP in 82. Only lost one game in the playoffs if I’m not mistaken.
@@KingHampton-ul1iw what’s worse to come back from a mcl sprain knee that’s for 15 days, or a fractured knee cap that lasts for 25 games of the season and the whole summer
In reality, they’re like a low B hovering around the top of C tier. The last two rings (Nuggets and Celtics) are shameful rings and I think we will look back at this era as the dark ages of “good basketball”.
@@AgnusDeiGloriaexactly. They’re just letting the tubby Asian guy feel secure about this championship rn. History will tell a different story. These payoffs were awful.

@@gsisemore all these Celtic fans are so down bad that they are celebrating a free trip to the finals and beating a team that shot 17% on wide open 3s. Such an unserious turn of events lol
I honestly think the Raps team would give the A tier teams a run for their money. IF we were speaking hypotheticals like we did the 24 Celtics. OG was out the whole playoffs. So if you add OG they would have been 9 deep Lowry Green Leonard Siakam Gasol Ibaka Vanfleet Anunoby Powell To add another hypothetical. I think if Kawhi did return to Toronto. That Raptors team would beat the 2020 Lakers. You have an improved Siakam + the same squad. It would have been cinema.
A lot of people thought that nuggets would beat the Celtics this year and the nuggets were better last season, so if Celtics in A I think the nuggets should be in A
Should've just put don't know ball for the rockets teams tbh 😂 those teams were some of the most well crafted teams we've ever seen. It wasn't like a complete carry job by Hakeem like Duncan with the 03 spurs.
The 22 Warriors' most valuable player besides Curry was Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins in the playoffs that year was 🔥. His defense on Luka & Tatum were key to winning it all
I haven't seen the video yet, but just to throw my criteria in not that anybody cares, you're NOT S tier : if you got took to 7 games in any series, won less than 63 games in a full season
‘86 Celtics shoulda been “S” tier fr . Literally regarded as one of the greatest teams/rosters ever . But I see why they an A too, so I can’t really be that mad
As a Spurs fan I must say: -14 was best "championship" team -best team would go to either 16 or 17 07 I feel like it's B tier. Yes it's more modern n more peak Tony n Manu, but I don't think it's better than 05. -03 is C tier, we cooking the Rockets...respectfully
I'll cover the dunno ball teams for you: 77 Blazers: B, Solid team on both ends, Bill Walton was that dude, not enough star power besides Bill 78 Bullets: D, this is easily the worst version of the Bullets teams from that era, and it shows in the fact that the finals mvp was Wes Unseld who, while a great defender especially for being a 6'7 center in that era, was nonexistent on offense aside from being a great outlet passer 79 Sonics: B, great defense, very akin to the 04 Pistons, had a well rounded offense in terms of scoring and assist distribution, they just weren't a very efficient offense 80 Lakers: B, Kareem was still that dog, Magic was a damn good rookie, easily the weakest roster of the Showtime teams 81 Celtics: C, the front court was solid, with Parish, Bird Maxwell and even a rookie McHale coming off the bench, but this wasn't the best version of any of those guys except maybe Parish who was never above being the third best guy on the team and the backcourt was mid 82 Lakers: B, Better than 80, picked up Jamaal Wilks, had solid guard depth with Magic, Nixon and Cooper, had big man depth with a still damn good Kareem and a past his prime but solid Bob McAdoo, but not nearly good enough to make A 83 Sixers: A, Still in his prime but aging Dr. J, MVP Moses Malone, Bobby Jones who was at the time one of the all time great defenders as a sixth man, Mo Cheeks, solid depth, there's a reason Moses Malone almost correctly predicted that they would sweep through the playoffs 84 Celtics: A, Probably the 2nd best Larry Bird season, Parish was still solid, McHale was a beast, not quite as deep or as good on either end of the floor as the 86 team but this team is still busting your ass 85 Lakers: A, this is in my opinion the best version of showtime, Magic and Kareem were both mvp caliber players, Byron Scott and Cooper were both on the team to offer 3 and D play at the two guard(plus Cooper was a lob threat) McAdoo was still giving you a semi efficient 10 a night off the bench behind Kareem, Jamaal is still on the team with solid bench production...oh and James Worthy was coming into his own, this team dwarfs 87 imo
No, we’re not doing this. Don’t revise the 2011 finals to save Lebron’s legacy. Like he lost to a relatively ass team, especially when compared to his own. He just played bad; shit happens. But let’s not go back and pretend as though the 2011 Mavs were even close to a team like the 04 Pistons. They’re a D tier team, C at best, especially when compared to the other teams in those tiers. That team was pretty ass for a title winner. It’s definitely most comparable to the 2003 Spurs
Before watching, I already know the 2014 Spurs are gonna get disrespected even though they went through Steph, Klay Dray, Dirk, KD, Russ, and the big three heat
92 Bulls are A tier to me, did they have the depth of the 96 Bulls...no, but the 96 Bulls are also the best version of the Bulls for a reason(except the 96 finals, right at the finish line they stumbled and Dennis high key bailed them out to the point where there's an argument he should've gotten finals mvp over Mike) but the 92 Bulls still had a damn good defensive 4 in Horace Grant averaging 14 and 10 on solid efficiency, so was he as good of a defender as Rodman...no obviously Dennis is one of the greatest defenders of all time...but, he was still a damn good defender and was objectively a better offensive piece Side note: I know that Scottie definitely wasn't going to win mvp in 92, but Mike won mvp in 92 and Scottie got enough mvp votes to finish top 10 so...just saying the 92 Bulls did have two people get mvp votes, one of which won the award
I think 2020 lakers and 24 Celtics get the same rep bc they both got excuses on why they were successful in the playoffs and I also think the Celtics beating that mavs team should shut some of that up bc everybody was saying mavs were gonna win
79 sonics are a B 80 lakers are S 81 Celtics are B (didn’t have to play magic) 82 Lakers B/A 83 Philly C (got a first round bye and swept a hurt lakers team) 84 Celtics S (beat showtime with no injuries) 85. Lakers S (first time the Lakers beat the Celtics ever)
Ain’t no way aside from 2022 you gave the warriors S tier championship. You’re absurd brother. 😂 Edit: So y’all ranking the teams not the championship ok I see why The Warriors were in S Tier.
Yeahhhh only problems were 2021 bucks and 2023 Nuggets up to A tier. 86 Celtics 87 lakers 2007 spurs 2005 spurs 2009 lakers down to B and the biggest one 2024 Celtics down to D at max C
The only reason the rocket team won the championship was because Jordan retired, and then he came back, but if he would’ve stayed, they would not have champions
How is the 14 Spurs not S tier? Just bc they didn’t have that superstar level player? They had a lockdown defense and the best looking offense in history

80 Lakers: B, Kareem was still that dog, Magic was a damn good rookie, easily the weakest roster of the Showtime teams
81 Celtics: C, the front court was solid, with Parish, Bird Maxwell and even a rookie McHale coming off the bench, but this wasn't the best version of any of those guys except maybe Parish who was never above being the third best guy on the team and the backcourt was mid
82 Lakers: B, Better than 80, picked up Jamaal Wilks, had solid guard depth with Magic, Nixon and Cooper, had big man depth with a still damn good Kareem and a past his prime but solid Bob McAdoo, but not nearly good enough to make A
83 Sixers: A, Still in his prime but aging Dr. J, MVP Moses Malone, Bobby Jones who was at the time one of the all time great defenders as a sixth man, Mo Cheeks, solid depth, there's a reason Moses Malone almost correctly predicted that they would sweep through the playoffs
84 Celtics: A, Probably the 2nd best Larry Bird season, Parish was still solid, McHale was a beast, not quite as deep or as good on either end of the floor as the 86 team but this team is still busting your ass
85 Lakers: A, this is in my opinion the best version of showtime, Magic and Kareem were both mvp caliber players, Byron Scott and Cooper were both on the team to offer 3 and D play at the two guard(plus Cooper was a lob threat) McAdoo was still giving you a semi efficient 10 a night off the bench behind Kareem, Jamaal is still on the team with solid bench production...oh and James Worthy was coming into his own, this team dwarfs 87 imo

Side note: I know that Scottie definitely wasn't going to win mvp in 92, but Mike won mvp in 92 and Scottie got enough mvp votes to finish top 10 so...just saying the 92 Bulls did have two people get mvp votes, one of which won the award
2020 lakers in A? With the 86 Cs and the 2016 Cavs? What the fuck are y’all smoking on that take
I think 2020 lakers and 24 Celtics get the same rep bc they both got excuses on why they were successful in the playoffs and I also think the Celtics beating that mavs team should shut some of that up bc everybody was saying mavs were gonna win
“YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD TIM DUNCAN WAS OMG”
You guys should do the same thing for runners up 🏃
The nba champs from 14-18 were all top tier championship teams.

82 Lakers B/A
83 Philly C (got a first round bye and swept a hurt lakers team)
84 Celtics S (beat showtime with no injuries)
85. Lakers S (first time the Lakers beat the Celtics ever)
2016 cavs A tier ☠️
08 C's in S tier is obvious glaze. To even mention them in the same sentence as shaq and Kobe or MJ and Pip is disrespectful lol
What’s the point of doing a post-merger list if you’re gonna ignore the first 10 champions?
Ain’t no way aside from 2022 you gave the warriors S tier championship. You’re absurd brother. 😂
Edit: So y’all ranking the teams not the championship ok I see why The Warriors were in S Tier.
Yeahhhh only problems were 2021 bucks and 2023 Nuggets up to A tier.
86 Celtics 87 lakers 2007 spurs 2005 spurs 2009 lakers down to B and the biggest one 2024 Celtics down to D at max C
Luka and Tatum Career Swap?
2024 Celtics in A tier is crazy asf
In 92 I believe the Old and broken. Celtics in the regular season took down Prime time MJ and SP. Bird out played MJ the stats don’t lie
lowkey ill put the 08 celtics in b tier, going 7 games and almost got soloed by young lebron, thats embarassing
Boston won, America lost😔
The only reason the rocket team won the championship was because Jordan retired, and then he came back, but if he would’ve stayed, they would not have champions
How is the 14 Spurs not S tier? Just bc they didn’t have that superstar level player? They had a lockdown defense and the best looking offense in history
Sage : what do you think about Jaime Jaquez !!
Putting 80s in don’t know ball shows you don’t know ball
Not putting the greatest championship in NBA history S tier is absurd
That 2014 Spurs team not being in 'S' tier is wild.
Bro who gave these guys permission to talk about ball? Lmaaooo
1996 bulls is one of the best 90s teams
But the 93 bulls teams is one of the most underrated teams
'16 cavs 🎉
