Which team is the greatest of all time? To answer that question with more rigor than it's typically debated in sports bars, in 2015 I ranked every team since minutes played were first tracked in 1951-52 (sorry to the 1949-50 Minneapolis Lakers) based on their performance in both the regular season and playoffs.
Three years later, it's time for an update with a new No. 1, plus several other newcomers to the list thanks to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors dominating the competition in their respective conferences.
The method
For champions, I took the average of their point differential during the regular season and their point differential in the playoffs plus the point differential of their opponents.
