Can the Lakers or Spurs become the greatest team of all time?


For a team to be considered the greatest of all time, it has to outpace the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls -- Michael Jordan's fourth title team finished 72-10, and many think it was the greatest NBA machine ever assembled.

Two of the most impressive teams of the young season -- with a plausible chance of reaching 72 wins -- have been the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs.

Bookmark this page and come back to see just how well the Lakers and Spurs are doing, game by game, compared to MJ's Bulls.
