I think right now...early in the season the Jazz have shown they have come together as a team and play well as a team.

the best team ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

San Antonio. They have a great All-around team, and one of the best players in the game in Tim Duncan. Manu Ginobli is a great player (however unorthodox he may be), and Bruce Bowen will win Defensive Player of the year. Tony Parker is finally putting his game together, and is shooting approx. 55% from the floor this year. They can't be beat.

How can you not like that the whole starting five each and everyone of them can play the game at a high level. Hamilton, Prince, Billups, R. Wallace, B. Wallace will have had a great season. They are the best team in the NBA (record wise). They will win the east championship and have a good shot at even more.

The United States is still the king even though they lose at FIBA competitions, which use a smaller ball, and much different rules than the NBA our stars are familiar with. I would say that Argentina is the 2nd best team in the world, though

The best NBA team of all time would have to be the 2004 Detroit Pistons. Everyone is going to say the Bulls in the Jordan era, but would the Bulls be a good TEAM without Jordan. The 2004 Detroit Pistons played as a team with no big superstars to pave the way to the championship like the Chicago Bulls. \n\nWith all the great players in the NBA today having a team with no GREAT players go on and win a championship takes extreme teamwork. What the Detroit Pistons had in 2004 was special. They worked great as a team, played for the love of the game and for the thrill of victory.\n\nThe best NBA TEAM of all time would have to go to the 2004 Detroit Pistons who played smart and fought hard to win the championship title.

The San Antonio Spurs. They're the defending champs and have even done better than last year by just setting a franchise record 63 wins and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Duncan and Ginobili are all healthy now. Their playoff experience and deep bench will lead them to another championship this year.

The Mavericks have already beaten the best team in the NBA...Detroit is the best team left and there no match for Dirk and the boys...GO MAVERICKS!!!

Suns the best all around team

even though Utah is leading in the standing, I'd still say the spurs are the best team. just wait come playoff time and you'll see what I'm talking about...

Right now?\n\nBest player is no doubt Lebron James. He's currently averaging 29/6/6, and the Cleveland aren't doing too shabby. Hate to say this, but best team RIGHT NOW are the Jazz. It all shows in the record, 9-1, and I'm sure they will taper off. They've been through only 3 elite teams now (Suns and Clippers), and Im sure theyll slow down once they face Hornets. Mavs, or Spurs.

If Allen Iverson is healthy, I would pick the 76ers over the Rockets. Rockets just arent that good this season. But you never did say which one is your team.

Personally, I vote for the Detroit Pistons, but if you look a the NBA top ten teams list, the Chicago Bulls had two outstanding teams at a time when the competition was greater:\n\n1964-65 Boston Celtics  62 - 18  (.775) \n\n1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers 68 - 13  (.840)  \n  \n1969-70 New York Knicks  60 - 22  (.732)  \n  \n1971-72 L.A. Lakers  69 - 13  (.841)  \n\n1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers 65 - 17  (.793)  \n  \n1985-86 Boston Celtics  67 - 15  (.817)  \n\n1986-87 L.A. Lakers  65 - 17  (.793)  \n  \n1988-89 Detroit Pistons  63 - 19  (.768)  \n\n1991-92 Chicago Bulls  67 - 15  (.817)  \n\n1995-96 Chicago Bulls  72 - 10  (.878)

No doubt! San Antonio Spurs & Robert Horry!\nThe Spurs because they compete as a "team" on a good-sportsmanship level that rarely gives in to heated moments. They set the standard by which all teams should be measured.\nRobert Horry because when all the "big guns" were retiring, (taking their loot & quitting), Big Shot Rob continued to give back to the fans & is still a major contributor to the excitement of the game, becoming one of the most winningest players in history. His accomplishments may only be second to the fact that he is the most respected player, past or present, in the eyes of most NBA greats, are nows or has beens!
