That whole season was a cheat code. There have been “clearly the best team that year” champions over the decades, but this warriors team was legitimately, by definition, virtually unbeatable.
Crazy to have witnessed the world crucify the lakers at even the THOUGHT of Chris Paul playing with Kobe Bryant but that same universe allowed this fairytale lineup to exist.
The showtime lakers had battles. The 80s Cs had battles. The bulls had battles. Dynasty lakers and spurs had battles. This warriors unit, to me, short of KD altering the timeline with a ripped Achilles, is the most unbeatable team in history.

They did get taken to seven though.
people are usually pretty clear that the 2017 warriors were significantly better than the 2018 team
If we are going to pick a single year, 01 Lakers absolutely tore through the playoffs and threepeated
They threepeated in 02, 01 was back to back
