Uncover the Untold Stories Behind Every NBA Franchise’s Greatest Team Since 1986-87—You Won’t Believe Who Tops the List!

Cleveland Cavaliers: 2008-09 (10.30)
Though the Cavs had some great years in the 1980s with Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Ron Harper and Larry Nance – including a 57-25 record and 7.77 TRACR in 1988-89, you had to figure this was going to come down to which LeBron James-led team was No. 1. And the 2008-09 team was the most dominant overall, winning a franchise-record 66 games before getting upset by the Orlando Magic in the conference finals.
Utah Jazz: 1996-97 (9.32)
Perhaps the only question here was: Which “Stockton-to-Malone” team had the highest TRACR? The answer is the first of the back-to-back Western Conference championship teams in 1996-97 when Utah set a franchise record that still stands with 64 victories. But the second-best team wasn’t the 1997-98 team that returned to the NBA Finals. It was the 1995-96 club (8.66) that lost to the Sonics in a Western Conference finals that went the distance.
