Which team has the greatest top four?
The Lakers top four had the highest total of mentions across any of the other teams in the NBA, with their top 4 accumulating more than 2,500,000 suggestions for those players to have a place on the top ten list. They have made a rocky start to the 2022/23 season but their history speaks for itself. The Chicago Bulls come in second due to the huge number of suggestions of Michael Jordan, but with Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen also making the list he certainly has help.
