That sounds stupid, but let me explain. In my lifetime, it's either Showtime Lakers or Jordan Bulls. But they seem different, in that those Bulls were one dude who was otherworldly, another guy who was really good, and then a roster of specialists, who did just the one thing and did it extremely well.

Those Lakers, though, seemed like the talent was more evenly distributed. The 86-87 team had six guys averaging double figures. 95-96 Bulls had 3.

So "best collection of players," to me, is Lakers. "GOAT + perfect supporting cast," Bulls.
