Ranking The 23 Best NBA Teams This Century

Since the turn of the century, there’s been no shortage of iconic basketball teams. From dynamic duos like Shaq and Kobe, to the rise of the Big 3, much has changed in the NBA landscape.

But these 23 teams stand the test of time as the best since 2000:

23. 2002-03 New Jersey Nets

22. 2008-09 Denver Nuggets: This team may not have finished the job, falling to a revenge-fueled Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, but they had all the pieces to bring the city of Denver it’s first NBA championship.

21. 2022-23 Denver Nuggets: This team did.

20. 2002-03 Dallas Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki. Steve Nash. Michael Finley.

19. 2010-11 Chicago Bulls

18. 2013-14 Indiana Pacers

17. 2004-05 Phoenix Suns

16. 2008-09 Orlando Magic: Little did we know at the time that this team would be the basketball blueprint less than a decade later.

15. 2001-02 Sacramento Kings

14. 2005-06 Miami Heat: We don’t talk about Dwyane Wade’s 2006 Finals enough.

13. 2017-18 Houston Rockets

12. 2011-12 Oklahoma City Thunder: The Baby Thunder had three future MVPs on their roster and took Miami’s Big 3 five games in the NBA Finals.

11. 2006-07 San Antonio Spurs

10. 2016-17 Cleveland Cavaliers

9. 2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers

8. 2015-16 Cleveland Cavaliers: The Cavs’ 3-1 comeback on the greatest regular season team ever is the stuff of legend. Although, Steve Kerr would argue the ’16-’17 team was LeBron’s best after returning home.

7. 2003-04 Detroit Pistons

6. 2007-08 Boston Celtics

5. 2012-13 Miami Heat

4. 2004-05 San Antonio Spurs: The Spurs dynasty at the peak of its powers; Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker were all in their respective primes and the team’s supporting cast was as good as ever.

3. 2015-16 Golden State Warriors: 73-9.

2. 2001-02 Los Angeles Lakers

1. 2016-17 Golden State Warriors: Take a 73-9 team and add a healthy, 28-year-old KD.
