making the Lakers #1 is like putting the Cardinals ahead of the Yankees for the best MLB team ever LOLgotta go with the most titles, not a team that's below .500 in NBA finals appearances

The Bulls greatness is mostly limited to the 90's. The Spurs as a franchise...-4 Championships-Only former ABA team to win a Championship-3rd Highest Winning percentage in NBA all time-2nd Highest Winning percentage in NBA Finals history-Have only missed the playoffs 4 times in team history-Up until this year, they had the most division titles (16) out of any team in the league during their existence (32 yrs). Lakers were second with 15, but tied them this year.-Have made the playoffs 19 of the last 20 yrs, only missing one year when Robinson was injured during the season (the year that got them the #1 pick in the draft, and Duncan).there is a reason he says they are "comfortably" in the 3rd spot.
