Chicago Bulls were the most dominant side of the decade. The 1995-96 side was arguably the best of them. With the return of Michael Jordan, the Bulls were an unstoppable force during this campaign. The team with 72-10 record are widely considered to be the greatest team of all time.

MJ led the league in scoring, Denis Rodman in rebounding and Scottie Pippen did everything else. Led by Phil Jackson who won the Coach of the Year, the team had abundance in terms of firepower and bench strength. Toni Kukoc was awarded the Sixth Man of the Year.

The franchise didn't lose back to back till February and had two separate streaks of 13 and 18 wins. They were nearly perfect at home with a 39-2 record and was a force to be reckoned with on the road.


#3 Golden State Warriors 2015-16 (39-2)

The greatest regular-season team of all time, the Golden State Warriors would have nearly capped off a perfect season with a championship if it wasn't for a certain LeBron James. With the best regular-season record of all time, the Warriors were a juggernaut during the 2015-16 season.

Boasting the greatest shooting backcourt in history in Steph Curry and Klay Thompson and a true leader in Draymond Green who was a defensive monster, the Warriors were playing lights out almost every night. They won their first 24 games, with the streak coming to an end against the Milwaukee Bucks in December.

Luke Walton was leading the charge as head coach Steve Kerr took time out due to back issues and returned to the bench only after 43 games, 39 of which they won under Walton. They eventually lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals after leading the series 3-1.
