Ranking the top 10 basketball teams of all time

#4 Golden State Warriors 2016-17

The Warriors in the trophy ceremony

The greatest Finals comeback of all time was, unfortunately, also the root cause for the imbalance in the league today. LeBron James and the Cavaliers' Finals win caused the rather cheesily named 'Hamptons 5' to band together in the Bay Area, and the Warriors went on a murderous run through the year, finishing the regular season with a 67-15 record that they attained by basically sleepwalking through until April.

Come playoff time, the Splash Brothers turned it up in Kevin Durant's absence to ease past the Blazers with a sweep. Durant's comeback allowed the Warriors to turn their play up to a notch I've never seen a team attain in the postseason, and an injury to Kawhi Leonard was basically the death knell for the Spurs in the Conference Finals.

The Finals were little different, as LeBron's triple-double efforts and Kyrie's 29.4 points per game average brought all but 1 win for the Cavs in a game when they set the playoff record for 3-pointers made with 24.

Adding a prime Kevin Durant to the mix has messed up the competitive balance of the league for a number of years.
