Probably the 2014 Spurs, although Kawhi was on his way to becoming one. Tim Duncan was good, but older. That was overall just a great team.


2011 Dallas had Dirk. He came in 6th in the MVP that year. Dirk was a god. Close enough.

2004 Pistons are the other team that comes to mind. Had a lot of good players, no absolute superstars.

The point is your narrative is cute. But that's just not how the league works 90% of the time.
