the lakers had depth in both 2000 and 2001. maybe not as much depth but they still had depth. the 2000 team would have been ok, the 01 team may have had some trouble with the spurs depth. they still regularly beat more deep teams in seven game series just because of shaq and kobe though. those laker teams controlled the flow of the game so well though, shaq may have had trouble getting up and down the floor at times but I don't feel like it would have been to a critical point. just how I view it. those three teams are clearly the best

Yeah, Shaq in his prime was a complete game changer. Lots of teams tried to run on them but he just pounded and dominated and wore them down. Unbelievable.
This Spurs team was a beauty to watch, though. I loved the 2008 Celtics, but they would bog down offensively at times in a frustrating way. This Spurs team would have beaten that team.
But, the 2000-2001 Lakers against this Spurs team would be amazing to watch in every respect.

2001 Lakers: People talk about how Jordan would dominate today's era, but Shaq would be even more dominant. He dominated Dikembe Mutombo in that year's final. Kobe was coming into his own and this team had underrated depth. The inside/outside threat (add in Derek Fisher, Robert Horry and Rick Fox) would be too much for anyone.
2014 Spurs: This year's Western Conference was as loaded as ever. Put that team in the East and they finish with 65-67 wins and considerably fewer losses in the postseason.
2009 Lakers: I give them a slight advantage over the '08 Celtics because Bynum was hurt in the 2008 Finals. I think this is the most underrated "great team" of the past 20 years. Kobe with Gasol, Odom and Bynum all doing work inside were strong.
2008 Celtics: Great team, but they didn't exactly dominate too much in the postseason like the three teams above did. They were taken to seven by Atlanta and Cleveland. Credit to the game 6 win against LAL, though.
Those are the top four IMO. I think the '13 Heat, '07 Spurs and the '00 Lakers have an argument for the fifth spot.
