85/86:
67 win Celtics 40-1 at home
Bird’s 3rd straight MVP
Jordan’s 63

95/96:
72 win bulls
2 New Canadian Teams

05/06:
Kobe’s 81
Bron being youngest ever to avg 30ppg
D-Wade’s finals performance
Nash’s Suns


15/16:for reasons you mentioned
 
Western conference was a bloodbath that Year. Losing that second game when LMA had his second straight 40 bomb was the turning point honestly. After that LMA went on to play not a single good game from my perspective.
Also the Thunder switching screen and roll. And they ran a play offensively where Russ gave it up to Harden to bring the ball up then set a pindown screen for KD who came up to the ft line area and krpt hitting jumper after jumper over Tony Parker. Perk and Ibaka had that 100% from the field game. That was a great playoff run sans for the flameout vs Miami. Literally subtract the Perkins minutes that series and we win it going away

Harden was on the Thunder in 2016? :lol
 
Can't believe you forgot the '58 Syracuse Nationals. Lost to a really tough Philly Warriors team led by Paul Arzin in the playoffs, but Dolph Schayes went off that year. Was a joy to watch.

What you call a joy, I call boring. I hated coach Seymour since his rookie season with the Toledo Jeeps. Couldn’t stand watching his teams.
 
Doesn't fit the criteria but 04 Lakers. They're only remembered for losing in the finals but they had times where they were dominant and unguardable. Started off the year going 18-3. As a fan, they lived up to expectations even tho GP never really fit like a glove

Suppose I could see where you're coming from. The energy in the Onondaga War Memorial Arena was second to none when Schayes was having one of his nights though.

The more I think about it, the hook shot or sky hook gotta be the hardest shot in the game.
