1946-1947 Philadelphia Warriors: The inaugural season of the NBA/BBA. The warriors cemented a tradition upon It's inception in 1946. Can't have the NBA without this team that started it all.

1995-1996 Vancouver Grizzlies: you know you miss this Canadian team regardless of it's relevance in the 90's!

2003-2004 Detroit Pistons: one of the greatest defensive teams in the history of the NBA, still does not get the recognition it deserves for it's efforts that year. A lineup of virtual cast-outs and assumed washed outs.


1996-97 Detroit Pistons: an underachieving team that was led by superstar Grant Hill. People forget that this team won 54 games that year in the east (the era in which jordan dominated in) and were bounced in the first round. Still, they were a great team to watch on the court.





Joe fulk's was the NBA's first superstar and he should be honored. Without him the NBA would not have progressed into a dominant powerhouse without the contribution of Fulks.

Re: Top Missing Teams from the NBA's Greatest Mode

This game needed a 70's Celtics team. Would have loved for one of the games to be the 76 Celtics vs. the 76 Suns.

[bvickers223]

How about the 1997-98 Pacers? They took the last Bulls championship team to 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals. They were one of only two teams to force any of the Bulls' 6 champions to a game 7. (91'-92' Knicks in the Conference Semis).

[naot2010]

Kidd and the nets, 15-1 la playoffs, 2000 blazers, nash and dirk mavs, 98 pacers took bulls to 7 games

[naot2010]

06 heat, Mikan lakers

Now those are my favorites from your list, especially the ones in bold. I would also add the 1991-92 or 1992-93 Miami Heat with Glen Rice, Steve Smith, Rony Seikaly, Bimbo Coles, Brian Shaw, Kevin Edwards, Willie Burton and (Harold Miner)

Agreed this team was the best Pacer team of Reggie's era, was the only team to beat the Bulls twice during the regular season that year then pushed them to a grueling 7 game series one that Pippen even said after the game that the Bulls were lucky to get out of this series. Pacers would have probably been favorites in the finals that year had they beaten the Bulls. This Pacer team won 58 regular season games which was the most of any Pacer team ever (94-95 team had 52 wins, 99-00 team had 56 wins).
