The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

What were the most entertaining teams you've ever seen?
I’m a bit of an old head but run tmc was entertaining as a lakers fan
Definitely the those kings teams with white Chocolate running the break and flashy passing to a rolling man
Or those up and coming warriors teams pre Kd that just ran around screens and shot threes plus Steph won his first mvp and chip in that era
Im so biased but the clippers this season are the most entertaining team I've ever watched
Jason Kidd's New Jersey Nets
Philadelphia Sixers 1976-77
85-86 Celtics were crazy too. The ball movement was so wild and fun.
videos like this are reasons why i love this channel. perfect mix of fact and basketball opinion
Happy to see the Kemp/Payton Sonics on here.
I'd also include the mid 2000s Pistons for just for the sheer smothering defensive prowess that we haven't been allowed to see in the years since. And from a team composed of scrappy underdogs, cast-offs and rejects with chips on their shoulders playing for a blue collar city that often feels as if the world is against it.
Ha! I just commented almost the same. The Pistons were true grit.
My 2nd fav team of all time behind my championship Nuggets
For me it's the 87 Showtime Lakers. Every time magic got the ball. I was holding my breath because I was trying to anticipate just what play he was going to make. And plus they got down the floor with such blinding speed. It was incredible to watch.
how old are you bruv
Adrian love him some lakers I remember you going crazy for big game James
@@rdubb6592 who is this?
@@rajathnayak5624Ikr blud has to be at least 50
The 82 Lakers were an even better fast break team with Nixon also handling the ball, a more athletic Magic, Macadoo, and a younger Kareem.
I wish I could have watched a lot of these teams back then.
Seasons change. Great players/teams come and go. If you're young, you'll see plenty of unique and great ones as time goes on :)
Me too, I’m 17 and I love going back and watching old showtime lakers games
@@jonnyarnettidk man, seems like everyone plays the same these days hopefully your right tho
After a spectacular play Calabro would often say stuff like "Flying chickens in the barnyard" or "Nobody do the voodoo like you do!"
“THE REIGN MAN!”
His kid was in my third grade class growing up. Nice guy!
Kevin Calabro is the voice of my childhood. "Good Golly, Miss Molly!"
God I love that man
It was really fun to watch the Orlando Magic with young Shaq & Penny. Penny seemed to be the new but more athletic Magic and I also liked the "skinnier" (this word seems so wrong to describe him...) more dynamic and more agile Shaq more than the later Battle Tank Lakers version.
2014 Spurs had the best team passing it was like art
Turn of the century Raptors with McGrady, and mostly Vince going crazy with big dunks almost every game.
The Kings with White Chocolate were also lots of fun.
The '12 Heat would get a high ranking on my personal list, that's literally the team that got me back into basketball
After they took my Sonics (love that shoutout in this video, totally agree) I basically stopped caring about the league. But what Bron and Wade were doing in the highlight reels was so damn electric that it legitimately got me back into the game
Thats funny because that's the team that got me to stop following basketball until the 2015 finals when the spurs got me back into the game by beating that Heat team
@@NoLanConnection yeah, that's fair. I didn't really give a damn about competitive balance at that point, I just wanted to see highlights
(amusingly, I *did* find the KD Warriors almost put me off of basketball for a few seasons. Guess I was just hoping for something different at that point)
No Lob city Clippers is crazy, but W list none the less
To be fair, you're asking a Laker fan to appreciate the Clippers.... that ain't easy bro. lol
@jonnyarnett Man u can't be Bias like that😂😂😂😂😅😅. Naw that's like me as a Bulls fan appreciate Detroit.
@@Bigedub101I mean yeah he can lol its his channel
@@jonnyarnett definitely valid😂
Good list! It might not exactly fit the term "entertaining", but the more years pass, the more I appreciate the playstyle of the 2003-2004 Pistons. This is a stark contrast to the more offensive-minded teams that would usually come to mind, but I really enjoyed their suffocating defense and the constant battles that were fought in the paint.
I would also mention 90-93 Bulls, 91 Warriors, 95 Magic, 96 Bulls, 00 Kings, 12 Heat,
Run TMC was epic.
Agree
Run TMC was a super fun team
94, 95 Rockets.
94 with Hakeem, Sam Cassell, Big Shot Bob, Vernon Maxwell, Mario Elie.
95 with Hakeem, Drexler, Cassell, Big Shot Bob, Elie.
The 96 Bulls will always be my favorite team but the Sonics were so fun to watch in the early to mid 90s! Sonic boom was the truth, such a great and iconic duo 👍
Im sorry but the warriors had a 5 year stretch where they played a beautiful brand of basketball. Good list though. I think Nash wins a championship if not for the suspensions of his teammates
Pre Kd warriors were a fun team
Man they were definitely gonna win but I do say Cleveland would won a few games, and been a better Finals
@@nvm9040warriors with KD wasn’t fun to u?
I agree with most of these: Kemp/Payton, 7SOL, Kobe/Shaq and Showtime Lakers, Splash Brothers? Good choices
But….. no 02 Kings, MJ Bulls or Bird Celtics?
I agree that the Showtime Lakers are the most entertaining team I've ever seen. I'll also give shout outs to the 2002 Kings and the 1986 Celtics.
I relocated from Seattle ('84-'92) to Chicago area in 1993. So I had the blessing to watch Payton/Kemp, and Jordan/Pippen in their heydays.
BTW - I'm shocked GSWs' Run-TMC didnt make the cut.
Hey Jonny! Still waiting on that "best two way players " list
One of the best nights ever in all of sports history is when that Warriors team won its 73rd game while Curry made his 400th 3 and simultaneously Kobe’s final game was going with that 60 point barrage with the comeback win.
No its not...73 wins dont mean SH*t if you dont wins it all... that was the biggest choke of all time...
shoutout to jonny for hooking us up with W nba history knowledge
Thank you Jonny!
Great list. Jonny Arnett, I'm a 67-year old woman and I love your videos.
THE MOST ENTERTAINING NBA 🏀 TEAM OF ALL-TIME: WITHOUT A DOUBT THE 1980S SHOWTIME 👑LAKERS ..
No doubt Dude!!
Ok unc
Excellent 👌
I disagree but each to their own, it's an opinion not a fact.
Who let this old head on their youtube account man
The heatles gotta be on here. The amount of expectation around them was insane, and while they did win, they had so many close calls like 2012 when they were down 3-2 going into td garden, or 2013 when ray allen hit the 3 against the spurs
Great video, Jonny. Great points throughout as well. I especially agree with your points about the 99-2000 Lakers. I admit that I didn't appreciate them at the time. However, over time, I came to appreciate and deeply respect them. They were incredible. I remember Shaq getting past double and triple teams and always wondering how anyone could stop him. I also was amazed by Kobe.
I was too young to have watched the Showtime Lakers, but I've seen clips of them and they were really fun to watch. They, like the 2013-14 Spurs, played beautiful basketball.
Happy Sunday, Jonny! Have a nice week.
W video thanks for contributing constant basketball knowledge💯🙏
What a great video. You can even just turn off the sound and watch the highlights and get enjoyment out of it on repeated viewings
Completely devoid of any ranking assessments or reasoning, but just my own personal favorites:
- All Bulls championship seasons… They were my hometown team, after all.
- 2014 Spurs
- 2008 and 2009 bulls with Derrick Rose, before the first injury.
- mid 90s Orlando Magic with young Shaq and Penny
- 2008-2010 Kobe Lakers, when winning it all was very much not a foregone conclusion
- Mid 2010’s Blazers with young Dame, Lamarcus Aldridge, & company
Haven't watched yet... Lob-City Clippers have to be on this video 📸
Sounds like they're on your list! Sonics for me, but Clippers were close behind. Didn't appreciate them when they were around, simply because its my job to hate on the Clippers as a Lakers fan. lol
@@jonnyarnett You are right, they are on my list 🙂. Really appreciate your videos, keep up the great work!
Love you man for this video 1 Showtime Lakers was so fast !!!! 1985 playoffs this team averaged nearly 130 ppg without 3s they will run you to the ground and make you give up !
The Jordan one happened in game 4 of the 1998 2nd Round of The Bulls vs The Charlotte Hornets on May 10th 1998.
This Play happened with about 3:20 left in the 1st.
Good job on the Showtime pick Jonny. They were fun to watch as a kid.
Another 🔥vid
I enjoyed watching the kings with white chocolate and with mike bibby the next year.
On another note, I have a video series idea for you that might or might not get views 😅: a top 5 or 10 nba players from each country in the world combined with the 1st player or first two-three players from each country to ever be drafted. Maybe some story about it. I learn recently that France was one of the first country other than the US to provide the draft with a player in the 50s or 60s, but he never got to play.
Anyways thanks for the vids.
SO happy you mentioned Kevin Colabro. Absolute legend.
Off the top of my head I got '96 bulls, '12 bulls, '16 Warriors, Warriors in early to mid 90's from Run TMC to Sprewell era with Chris Webber, Shaq and Penny Magic, and that '05 Heat team in the Finals that year. Kings with Jason Williams early 2000's.
94, 95 Rockets.
94 with Hakeem, Sam Cassell, Big Shot Bob, Vernon Maxwell, Mario Elie.
95 with Hakeem, Drexler, Cassell, Big Shot Bob, Elie.
Nice list Konnu. You missed two teams yje CP3 clippers and the Chris Webber and jason Williams kings
Hey was just curious if you could send me to any videos you’ve made talking about giannis! He’s my favourite player and I’d love to hear how you view him! Love the channel regardless!! Keep up the great work up!
I knew the 2015-2016 Golden State Warriors were going to be on here. That team brought new life and excitement to the league in a way I've never seen before in my 14 years of following NBA basketball. Even non-GSW fans like myself were tuning in to watch their games and following their success.
Good list. Id put the 1986 Celtics in there. And Chris Webber's Kings teams
In my opinion, the pistons team of this year should be on this list, its so funny seing all of the lowligths LMAO
Lmao
It’s damn funny if you are a masochist. 😂😂😂
before watching the video i already knew those Showtime Lakers were gonna be #1 LMAO but that's fair enough bc my fav team would be the 2012-2013 Knicks bc that's the team that made me love the NBA
you always have great topics and I respect and enjoy that. My list is kind of "Funky" b/c how I " enjoyed them. I believe y'all will see what I'm talking about........
5. 82-86 Sixers
4. 93-96 Sonics
3. 98-02 Kings
2. 92-96 Magic
1. 86-91 Pistions
each one of these franchises had a spot where you saw them ready to contend. you saw them make a key addition by either trade or free agency, and then you seen them start to fall by either injury, free agency, age, etc..........but at full strength all five clubs for there period of time was extremely entertaining to me
94, 95 Rockets.
94 with Hakeem, Sam Cassell, Big Shot Bob, Vernon Maxwell, Mario Elie.
95 with Hakeem, Drexler, Cassell, Big Shot Bob, Elie.
Great video,
Mine would be
5) Showtime Lakers - Same reasons as you
4) Jokic Nuggets - I don't know there is just something so fun about watching such a unique style of team in this day and age. It is fun watching a center play like a point guard and making everyone else look like superstars.
3) The Splash Brother Warriors - Once again same as you
2) The Big 3 Heat - There was definitely a rock star mentality around this team and it showed how they ran the floor and just gave us so many great plays.
1) The Shaq and Kobe Lakers - It was like watching Thunder and Lightning play together on the field.
OMG YOU DID MY RECOMMENDATION!!!!
Love this vid! You nailed it with the #1 pick 😎. I would like to add an honorable mention with Dominique's Hawks... now they would get my 🫀 pumping
Late 90's/Early 00's Kings, 2014 Spurs, 23 Nuggets, Kidds Nets, 16 Warriors, Young trio OKC and for me personaly 04/05 Pistons. Their offensive and defensive playstile was unique and really entertaining to watch for a basketball enjoyer like myself
2018 Rockets were entertaining as well. That death lineup of CP3, Harden, Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson, and PJ Tucker is a classic :D
Nice Topic for video
Good list. I also liked the Durant Westbrook Harden Thunder team. And Penny Shaq Magic
The 90s Suns, The 90s Blazers, The Cousy and Russell Celtics, The ‘77 76ers, The 2012-13 Heat, The 1990-98 Bulls, The 2017 Warriors, Bird’s Celtics, Charles Barkley, Julius Erving, and Moses Malone’s DUNKFEST 76ers, and there are many more teams that are honorable mentions.
The fact that you can admit when you’re biased makes you more trustworthy actually. Lol. But really, self awareness is a great quality. And this list is good!
Going through the comments, and it seems the '94 & '97 Charlotte Hornets don't get enough love. Heck, I lived in the PNW at the time and still enjoyed watching those teams.
Warriors, during the tutelage of legendary NBA coach Don Nelson, formed the “Run TMC,” a small ball trio composed of Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway.
It was an instant hit as all three players were capable of switching, running the floor, shooting from all cylinders, and attacking the basket.
I like your list! Who would be some of your honorable mentions?
93&94 Phoenix Suns were a lot of fun to watch. Worthy of a place here or maybe Top 10.
Barkley had his highlights and was on a mission, Richard Dumas was doing mad dunks, Majerle was a glimpse into the future, and when KJ played he did KJ things. Plus Ainge was causing trouble in all kinds of ways.
Agree, that was a really fun team
Jonny top 10 scorers please 😢
It's coming! Might save it for the next top 10 compilation though, which should drop VERY soon. As always, I'll include timestamps in the pinned comment so you can find it quickly :)
0:42 Isaiah has hops. Making us 5’8 guys proud
Agree with you .
For me its the showtime Lakers made me a NBA fan ..😀
It'll always be the 2014 Spurs for me. It was just so elegant like they had transcended the game of basketball
As a Growing up Laker fan. That Spurs Basketball is a beautiful brand of basketball.
ball movement of the 86 celtics was amazing too.
The Warriors right before KD ruined basketball and hopped on the bandwagon were so much fun. And I’m a Cavs fan
No 12-14 Heat? I mean Dwade and bron lobs to each other were mesmerazing
The Bad Boy Pistons. They were both an excellent heel in the narrative, as well as a team of incredibly selfless players always looking for the best play.
I think you're pretty much right some runner-ups honorable mention would be the Shaq and Penny Orlando Magic.. Chris Mullin and the Run TMC I believe it is
I know this may be crazy but I like the Iverson team that played the Lakers in the finals. Iverson was a one man gang a pure joy to watch, box office! He was the offense!
Showtime Lakers are a given on any list they lived up to their name and then some
Personally I would take the 2001 Lakers over 2000 just cause the 2001 playoffs Shaq and Kobe peaked as a duo
Also bias-ly loved the 2010 Lakers as much as any team.
Kobe was Kobe the most dynamic offensive player in history, and always had me flabbergasted with all the moves he could pull off and hit amazing shot after amazing shot
Gasol played the right way and fit together with Kobe like PB&J his game was like poetry combing skill, size, and was one of the greatest passing big man in history
Artest was trying to redeem himself and was playing texbook quintessential defense, bit erratic on offense but he played with heart and passion lead to him making clutch plays in the playoffs. Ariza the year before was great too but I slightly prefer Artest
Odom was a point forward and a swiss army knife in terms of roles you could use him for, great lefty finisher too
Bynum was one of the last traditional Centers and had an amazing low post game along with Gasol making for a very entertaining twin tower duo
Then of course you had Fisher with his clutch shooting and high bball IQ, Shannon Brown with his freak athleticism
Also feel like I have to mention the Bulls with MJ the Basketball God and living highlight reel, Pippen the og point forward while being the best lockdown defender in his era and maybe even history, and then for the second 3peat you had Rodman being Rodman nuff said
Since the trade deadline the mavs are now by far the most fun team in the league, for me the most fun team to watch since the 2019 raptors
The 96 bulls have to be on my list. Amazing offensive execution and passing. Plus you get the honor of watching prime MJ with his absolutely perfected fadeaway, which I would pay good money to see by itself. And add to that the insanity that was Dennis Rodman, who was the most entertaining defensive/hustle player of all time. The 96 bulls were to ultimate must see tv. So much so that non basketball fans would get together and watch their games. I remember as a kid having the entire family get together to watch it, even my sisters and aunts who never watched a game before or since. It was that special.
Off topic but I think i have found the kobe game in your intro. It was a February 11th 2011 Knicks vs Lakers game where Kobe Dropped 33 Points he made the play in the intro with about 3:45 left in the 1st Quarter againts Danilo Gallinari.
You have got way to much time on your hands.
Early 2000's kings. Without a doubt, the most fun team ive ever seen
Yessir
Nice video and respectable choices. My top 5 entertainment list from top to bottom:
1. 1989 Bad Boys Pistons
2. 2004 Pistons
3. 2008 Celtics
4. 1992 New York Knicks
5. 2013 New York Knicks
Yes the Bad Boy Pistons! Nothing better than someone driving the lane only to find themselves crumpled into a heap under the basket. People forget that team could put up points too.
For now, the team that entertained me the most by watching their games (not only NBA):
honorable mentions : 1972-73 Knicks, 1974-76 Celtics, late 60'/early 70' Lakers and Celtics, 1990 CSP Limoges.
#10 1996-1998 Bulls
#9 1993 CSP Limoges (with Olajuwon and Drexler's ex-Houston Cougars Temate Michael Young, beating Sabonis's Real Madrid in Euroleague Semi and Kukoc's Benetton Treviso in final).
#8 1995 Rockets
#7 Mid 2010 Warriors
#6 1987&1989 Greek squad : an almost Nikos Galis one man show (87' Euro Camps beating Petrovic, Kukoc, Divac and Radja Yougoslavia, then USSR with Marculionis but without sabonis, 89 finalist, Beating URSS with Sabonis, 6'0" Galis putting 45 point mostly midrange and in the paint against 2 >7' foot guys, but failing in final with a Galis (30pts) vs Petrovic (28pts) duel !)
#5 mid 80'lakers when they trade Nixon and put Worthy and Scott in the starting lineup
#4 1988-1990 Pistons especially when they trade Dantley for Aguirre
#3 2000 Lakers (2001 also)
#2 1982-1984 North Carolina with Jordan, Perkins, Worthy, then Kenny Smith and Brad Daugherty, facing many future all of famers and legend (Olajuwon, Drexler, Ewing, Sampson, Price, Wilkins, Webb, Mullin, Bias).
#1 1990-1992 Duke (a cool and well balanced team, with epic games, and facing futur stars like Shaq, Larry Johnson, Webber&Howard&Rose.
For me its the 2012 Bulls, That team had so much grit, and drose was a monster.
I put the 96’s Bulls on the list, not because of their offense but because of their perimetral defense and their abillity to create fast breaks from a steal
I would put the sac kings of cwebb, bibby, white chocolate, peja and christie in the top 5. They were so fun to watch. The had passing, shooting, fast tempo and their games vs lakers were exciting
me personally as a newer nba fan (like started watching 2 or 3 years ago) i love the 2014 thunder, seeing the young athletic all stars was incredible and they put on hell of a show. also a good prime year of old “biggest heart” russell westbrook. also gotta love the 2012 or 13 heat team it really depends on if you like seeing lebron go ham every game or if you wanted to see lebron and wade both beating the hell out of teams. please don’t hurt me for not watching basketball for like 50 years and asking if i’ve watched like the 1950 bob cousy led mfs cuz i didn’t nor do i plan on doing that.
CONGRATULATIONS!!😃😃😃😃😃😃
The Curry Lebron one is game 5 of the 2017 nba finals at golden state.
This is a tough list to make. I would want to have more than 6 teams. The early 2000's Chris Webber,Bibby,Stojakovic era Kings were really good. Same with that era for the Blazers. 86 and 87 Celtics were also really fun to watch. My hot take of the list.....2004 Lakers when they got Gary Payton and Karl Malone. That opening game was one of the most fun and exciting games that I've ever seen. When all 4 of the hall of fame players were on the court it was a passing exhibition and opposing teams just chose who got to burn them that night. Karl Malone in particular stepped his passing game up and took it to new heights. IIRC those 4 HoF players only played 27 games together that season. That's what went wrong with that team. The lineups were always in flux and really only 2 to 3 of those guys would be healthy at a time for most of the season. Who was going to carry the team from night to night was always something that they were trying to figure out. The team that beat them in the finals had the exact opposite situation. All of those guys were unselfish and healthy and you never knew who was going to beat you on any given night. 4 guys who could hit the game winner and one of the greatest defenders of all time anchoring the post. I hate to say it, but I would even add the 2004 Pistons to the list. They are one of the finest examples of team basketball that I've ever seen.
You should do this exact list with players.
Hopefully if he wasn't biased, the Early 2000s kings would be on here cuz they were fun to watch.. I agree with the rest.. Kemp and Payton were my favorite duo all-time to watch, the warriors ball movement and spurs were beautiful
I loved the Showtime Lakers also … but the highlights provided by Jordan were always tops in my eyes… so I really thought the 91 or 96 Bulls should of made the list.
I thought I'd see an honorable mention list:
Lob City Clippers, RunTMC, 96 Bulls, Shaq&Penny, Vince's Raptors, AI's Sixers, JWill on the Kings, Dominique's Hawks, Clyde's Blazers, The small ball Rockets, The Suns late 90's team that started 4 guards, Kidd's Nets teams lobbing to Jefferson and Martin.. I am sure I missed a lot.
I find jokic super fun to watch as it amazes me how little he misses cutter he almost always makes the right play.. as a team nuggest dont crack this list for me but jokic is the most fun to watch for me outside of curry
Larry Legend getting dunked on to finish the video was so La La Land of you Jonny. 🙈
I know that NBA teams was probably implied but it wasn’t specified, so I am going to go ahead and add the UNLV Running Rebels during Larry Johnson’s 2 years as one of my choices.
Aún no veo el video, pero si o si estará un Laker seguramente
Edit: No hubo un Laker, hubo DOS Lakers
‘02 Kings, ‘03 Mavericks and the ‘12 Thunder deserve honorable mention here.
I would’ve mentioned any Jordan Bulls team as the #1 team to watch! They were just fun to watch! Jordan was so entertaining, along with Rodman and Pippen. San Antonio was the most boring team to watch 😅in my humble opinion. You usually do well with your list, but I’m perplexed by this. The 2000 Sacramento Kings were another fun team to watch.
I appreciate, like a lot, the fact you showed Jason Williams in the sacramento jersey during the intro.
But yeah, this is the list where that Sacramento's soul should have been immortalized. But the Suns blablablala.
Those Scramaneto were entertainment itself and big promoters of the fast, move, shine.
I literally stopped watching basketball after the Lakers Sac robbery, but yeah, mesmerizing Warriors were noisy enough that I was pulled back in.
Yeah the 7 second phoenix suns were so fun to watch
for me;
1.) Heat big 3
2.) Baby Thunder
3.) 7 seconds or less suns
4.) Showtime lakers
5.) Splash bro’s
6.) Lob City Clippers
Honors to Run TMC, the 90’s Supersonics & Magic and Kobe/Shaq Lakers
Shocked! No 96 bulls 😢 😕
Man, if only the KD/Kyrie/Harden nets worked out, would’ve been such a fun team
