No hating, 2022 warriors are genuinely the weakest champion here. Easily

That core couldn’t even beat the Lakers in 23

The warriors are the weakest. The lakers are tied with denver at 2nd. Despite my hate, the 2024 celtics are 1st. Their team is just too deep.

Warriors have a lot of “internet fans”. They have some of the lowest basketball IQ. “Our team never gets a good whistle” While they shoot 50 threes a game….

If it’s a fully healthy version of the Celtics, eg Porzingis is fully healthy, then I’ll give the edge to the Celtics.
But if it’s in the same state as all these teams when heading into their respective Finals, I’ve got the Lakers beating a hobbled Porzingis Celtics team. Caruso, DG and KCP would put the clamps on Tatum and Brown and no one on the Celtics can guard AD or Lebron.

The thread asking this question in r/nba or r/nbatalk or whatever is also insane. You can choose the 2020 Lakers or the 2023 Nuggets. There are no other legitimate answers.

You gotta remember .. there are way too many GS d-riders than most other teams right now due to all the LeBron haters jumped on GSW bandwagon. Wait a few more years as they’ll be unsuccessful and LeBron becomes more and more irrelevant and they’ll jump elsewhere

Definitely. Put the Carushow on Curry

I’d take the Bucks over this year’s Celtics any day of the week. Is this a joke? They’d have no answer for Giannis when the rest of their team was so deep.

There must be a sea of warriors fans voting in this pole because no fucking way are they better than Denver.

Personally I got it:
1. 24 Celtics
2. 23 Nugs
3. 20 Lakers
4. 21 Bucks
5. 22 Warriors
loadedryder
2020 Lakers and 2023 Nugs are by far the most dominant of the group. Steph fanboys are the only reason the Warriors got such an inflated vote on that list. They’re easily the weakest of the bunch.
m_abdeen
Denver 2023 is the best team if we’re being honest
thesuch
Never forget that Klay Thompson went 0/10 in an elimination game
TorontoRaptors34
If Jimmy hit that shot vs boston would they have beaten GS?
roakmamba
Lakers would son all of these guys.
crimedawgla
I think I go C’s, Nuggets, LAL, W’s, then Bucks… though Giannis was amazing that season.
Honestly tho, I loved that 2020 playoffs. Needed the hoops in my life.

Warriors are low key the weakest team in the list.
aj_future
People forget how good that team was because of Covid. Even more complete than the Nuggets were in 2023. They had everything: shooting, depth, size, defense, etc. inexcusable we broke it up after what happened in 2021.
HeyHooman
It’s still surreal that Rondo and Dwight won a championship as a Laker
AceO235
Only one’s who really earned it was us and the nuggets the other teams got lucky circumstances
Mister-Stiglitz
Why are the bucks so low? Giannis arguably had a top 5 all time finals performance.
bashsports
Every time a warrior fan says the bubble championship doesn’t count I remind them that they weren’t even invited

Of the last 5 years? 2019 raptors

I really don’t understand the thought that the “Mickey mouse” chip is any lesser than any other? If the Lakers won an easier championship, then isn’t that just an indictment against every other team? If it was so easy why didn’t another team win it?
Saint_Santo
Lakers would’ve beat each of those teams real talk.
Lakers messed up the formula afterward, but they had it.
RingTheBell1900
I mean we saw what 23 Lakers did with the same warriors if 22 so yeah, warriors would prob lose in 5 if lucky
EverythingWrong25
Hate me all you want, but you’re drinking your own teams kool-aid if you don’t think it’s the 20 lakers and 24 Celtics.
This sub is so out of touch lol
gsnags
Lol those graphic is a joke
gbdarknight77
2020 lakers smash every team on this list.
swallowedbymonsters
The 2022 warriors are the worst team on the list
ValuableAssociate8
The average fan doesn’t know basketball
Prestigious_Value534
People forget that this team has a YOUNGER LEBRON. Just 2 years removed from his iconic LeThanos run. With KCP, Rondo, Caruso (playoff risers) and competent big men in half washed Dwight and McGee with PRIME just robbed of DPOY at Pelicans AD. Only teams before 2020 can stop this team.
Miserable-Lawyer-233
These teams are relatively evenly matched but I think the 2020 Lakers can beat any of those teams.
Btupid_Sitch
Nugs for sure lmao

The problem with these polls is that the people answering are more concerned with the results of the poll than making sure their actual opinion is reflected. “The 2020 Lakers were solid, but I can’t let them win this poll because MJ > Lebron” or something to that effect. So, each team will usually get the votes of their fans (whether or not it’s deserved) and will not get the votes of people that hate the team or players on the team (whether or not it’s deserved). The people whose teams don’t appear on the polls and don’t have an issue with any of the teams on the poll might assess the question honestly even if their assessment is terrible. Unfortunately for the Lakers, even though they have a lot of fans to inflate the vote, there are too many people that hate the Lakers and hate Lebron so they will automatically discount them as an option. Long way of saying this poll is useless.

2020 lakers run lets do a dive into it
Round 1: Portland – #1 ranked offense in the league going into the playoffs
Round 2: Houston – #1 ranked offense in the 2019-2020 season
Round 3: Denver – just made two consecutive 3-1 comebacks
NBA finals – Miami: beat the celtics and the best team in the league Milwaukee Bucks
and we still got through all of them and won banner #17
Aggressive_Money_949
People probably interpret “best” differently here. I think because the warriors were underdogs that season people feel like they’re the “best” champions.
Lakes, Nuggz and Celts steamrolled everybody and Bucks had some luck against the Nets. Warriors had to win dog fights for that chip.
thehanssassin
“But hey at least the boston celtics didn’t win that 2022”
nth_power
That 2020 team was actually very good all around. Shame they broke that team up while they were still celebrating
nemesis1313
I hate it when they say bubble or covid champions are easy… wtf… still hard.. go lakers and dodgers!!
Oroschwanz
Remember when the Lakers used to play as a team and win championships and weren’t focused on just one player and they had success…
2people1luv
I’m not saying this only because I’m a fan, but the 2020 Lakers team is the best finals team since KD left the Warriors. What makes people think otherwise? We were the one seed and beat everybody that was a contender BEFORE going into the bubble. AD still had a jumper and great mobility and LeBron still had the pre Solomon Hill athleticism. Are they slow?
TheWonderfulLife
The answer is the Denver nuggets. They were perfectly cast in the very position.
The rest of those teams would also dick punch this years green clovered chumps. I mean champs.
