#8 Los Angeles Lakers 1986-87
This was the season when the fabled Showtime Lakers were at their absolute peak. Kareem 'Captain' Abdul-Jabbar was still playing at an All-NBA level, Magic Johnson was in MVP form and Big Game James Worthy had come into his own as one of the most prolific wing scorers in the league, flying in and dunking on people every once in a while.
In addition to the Big 3, the Lakers also had Byron Scott, a veritable All-Star on offence, defensive specialist and Defensive Player of the Year 1986 Michael Cooper, AC Green and Kurt Rambis on their depth chart. Through the course of the regular season, they held a 65-17 record, and they proceeded to defeat reigning champions and bitter arch-rivals Boston Celtics 4-2 in the NBA Finals after blitzing through the Western Conference playoff bracket.
