Top 10 Teams in NBA History Also included in the NBA's 50th-anniversary celebration was the selection of the Top 10 Teams inNBA History . The list was compiled based upon unranked selection undertaken exclusively by members of the print andbroadcast media who regularly cover the NBA. Teams were chosen from among allsingle-season individual teams. Each team won theNBA championship , and they combined to average 66 wins per season. The 1995–96 Chicago Bulls had, at the moment, the best single-season record in NBA history with 72 wins.
Six out of the 30 NBA franchises (29 franchises at the time of announcement) had a team named to the list; theBoston Celtics , theChicago Bulls , theLos Angeles Lakers and thePhiladelphia 76ers had two teams selected.
Six players were on the roster of two teams on the list—Wilt Chamberlain with the 1966–67 Sixers and 1971–72 Lakers;James Edwards ,Dennis Rodman , andJohn Salley with the 1988–89 Pistons and 1995–96 Bulls; andMichael Jordan andScottie Pippen with the Bulls in both 1991–92 and 1995–96. Three other individuals both played for and coached honored teams, all of whom completed this "double" with a single franchise—K. C. Jones with the Celtics as a player in 1964–65 and coach in 1985–86,Billy Cunningham with the Sixers as a player in 1966–67 and coach in 1982–83, andPat Riley with the Lakers as a player in 1971–72 and coach in 1986–87.Phil Jackson , head coach of the Bulls from 1989 to 1998, was the only man to coach two teams that made the list. Although Jackson was under contract to the Knicks as a player in their 1969–70 championship season, he did not play that season as he was recovering from spinal fusion surgery.[ 68]
The Hall of Famers listed for each individual team are solely those inducted as players, and do not include those inducted in other roles. Players whose names are italicized were inducted after the announcement of the ten best teams.
