Superteams are becoming more of the norm in recent years, as superstar players have figured out that teaming up with each other gives them the best chance to win NBA titles. Of course, talent wins chips and there have been some all-time great teams that have dominated the league in their era.
But what if we could create 5 superteams that would go an unbeatable 82-0 to shatter the Golden State Warriors’ record of 73-9? Here are the 5 most unstoppable superteams formed by starting lineups of the game’s greatest players who ever played the game.
Superteam 1.0 – “Perfect Two-Way Play”
Magic Johnson, James Harden, Julius Erving, Karl Malone, Wilt Chamberlain
Anytime Magic Johnson leads the line, we will get Showtime. Magic is the greatest and flashiest point guard who ever played the game, and will make all his teammates better. Giving Magic Johnson the likes of James Harden and Julius Erving on the wing would be a dream to watch. Say what you will about Harden, but his stepback three and ankle-breaking skills can be showtime.
Magic and Harden will throw lobs to Erving all game long, as the 6’7” forward might be the best in-game dunker we have ever seen. This trio will simply outperform and demoralize any team in the league, but Karl Malone and Wilt Chamberlain make this team even better. While Magic is unstoppable on the break, he can feed it into Malone and Chamberlain in the half-court to destroy defenses. Not to mention, Wilt is one of the most notorious “flashy” stars who have ever played the game. In all facets of the game, this team is perfect and will go 82-0.
