To be the best, you must have won a title, though the Warriors are granted an exception here. And only one team was chosen from any repeat or three-peat runs:

They had Michael Jordan, a great defense, won 72 games and had Michael Jordan.

2. 1985-86 Celtics
Four guys 6-foot-10 or better, shooters everywhere and Larry Bird. Yeah, try small ball against these guys.

3. 1986-87 Lakers
Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made James Worthy the third offensive option.
