Top 5 NBA squads of all time

#1 1995-96 Chicago Bulls

Chicago Bulls Big 3: - Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen

Record: 72-10

Their reign at the top was threatened for a brief period of time but when the 73-win 2015-16 Golden State Warriors came up short in the NBA Finals, it just made the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls that much greater.

Their 72 wins in the regular season didn't seem to catch up to them in the Playoffs like it did with the Warriors. The Bulls punched their ticket to the Finals by breezing past tough East opponents in the Miami Heat, New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic while dropping just one game.

In the Finals, they faced the dynamic duo of Shaun Kemp and Gary Payton with the Seattle Supersonics but they too proved no match, going down in six games.

Michael Jordan, who is arguably the greatest player of all-time, along with Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman were the focal points of the team's success on both ends of the floor. And like any other great team, this one too had great role players - Steve Kerr, Toni Kukoc and Ron Harper.
