Utah Jazz-Malone/Stockton era pick and roll almost for the win.

I don’t think that full team was good enough to be mentioned though.. Hornacek? Brian Russell? Brent Ostertag? Malone-Stockton carried scrubs to the finals IMO

1975 PHX Suns: Alvin Adams, Paul Westphal, Garfield Heard, Keith Erickson, Ricky Sobers, Dick VanArsedale......Pat Riley, John Shumate.....on & on.

They almost beat Jordans Bulls, and maybe should have if not for a collapse in game one or two. They had a very structured and methodical game, I've never seen anything like it. They had no business as they were old and lacking athleticism but boy could they dissect other teams defenses though.

The best is the Drexler era Trailblazers, the second best are the Suns with Johnson, Barkley and Marjle. The Jazz team with Stockton and Malone would be third place, but they were not far off from the Suns team.
