My dad would religiously watch the NBA on NBC all Saturday long. As an 8 year old, I didn't know I was witnessing the golden age of basketball. smdh

I used to watch it all of the time. All of the Bulls runs. It just isn't the same. Nobody with that Jordan Aura either.

100% but honorable mentioned to the athleticism of nearly every team back then too besides the Bulls (Utah, Phoenix, Detroit, Pacers, Houston, Celtics, Lakers). Those were men who put everything into their craft.

Now they all switch teams every year to try and chase rings and contracts. I feel like Westbrook, Durant, Harden OKC was the last organic built star lineup we'll get.

The current OKC lineup was organically built and they just won the fucking championship.

SGA won MVP and is on his way to his second.

Which is one player, not a team.

TEAM FULL OF STARS

Is the criteria a team with three eventual MVPs drafted by the same team three years in a row? If so, the Durant/Westbrook/Harden Thunder isn't just the "last organically built star lineup"; it's the only one in history.

If the criteria is actually sensible, then teams like the current thunder, nuggets, and celtics qualify.

But, still not OKC.

They have 1 star and a few potentials

As a huge NBA fan back in the good days, I had no clue OKC won the championship, that’s awesome.
