That said, it helps to have teams that know what they're doing on the court. Obviously, every team has its own particular skills, but they need to work cohesively as a unit if they're going to accomplish big win records — and more importantly, championships. Here are ten teams that you should definitely try out. Even if they aren't your favorites — or may be be rivals to your favorites — we guarantee success with them every time you enter the arena. Miami Heat After winning their second straight NBA championship, the Heat have proven themselves true contenders. Not only do you get the superstar power of LeBron James — the cover star of 2K14 — but you also get several other players who can contribute. Throw in Greg Oden, Ray Allen and others, and you've got a team destined for a three-peat. San Antonio Spurs Though they haven't won a major championship in a few years, the San Antonio Spurs are still a huge threat on the court. Led by veteran Tim Duncan, this squad knows how to put digits on the board, and can also handle themselves defensively. Duncan knows how to go on a streak, and you shouldn't ignore Tony Parker, Marco Belinelli or Matt Bonner. Who knows, this could be the year the Spurs return to their championship ways. Chicago Bulls Not since the Michael Jordan era have the Bulls been this much of a contender. Derrick Rose, who's been sidelined for some time with nagging injuries, should be returning to his squad. On top of that, other players, including Carlos Boozer, Marquis Teague and Mike Dunleavy should have no problem moving into double digits. Chicago could be on fire once again, once Rose finds his groove. Indiana Pacers They may not have Reggie Miller, but the Pacers still came up with an impressive 49-32 record this past year, and are bound to repeat themselves with the likes of Solomon Hill, Roy Hibbert, and Chris Copeland in their line-up. Clippers Once considered a joke around the NBA league — while the Lakers were the team to beat — the roles were surprisingly reversed this past year, with Kobe's squad falling and the Clips rising to the occasion. It doesn't hurt to have a number of key players, like Blake Griffin, J. Redick, and Chris Paul driving to the lane and keeping the score close. They're bound to repeat their success this year — and put the Lakers to shame again. Oklahoma City Thunder This team has managed to move up in the ranks very quickly, with a conference title in 2012 and two consecutive division titles heading into the playoffs. They've done well since their transition from Seattle — where they were the Supersonics — with Kevin Durant leading the charge, followed by the likes of Nick Collison, Russell Westbrook and others backing him up. Durant, though, is the main draw. He's the lightning that definitely follows this Thunder. Golden State Warriors The Golden State Warriors were the surprise
