With so many teams in NBA, which ones are/were really playing team ball with more than five players shining as hero, which one had more players who would like to stay with the team for his entire life, on and/or off the court?
Are these teams (or the team you just mentioned/thought about) part of top five Final-Champion-Winners?

Celtics.
Look at what Larry Bird and Kevin McHale have been doing... they work on someone else's payroll to help get Celtics back.
Overall speaking, there are only "two" good teams in NBA, Red's team, and Jackson's teams.

the raptors, we are known as playing team basketball, and usually per possesion we get 6-8 touches before someone takes the shot. also 25-30 assists a game. Bosh is one of the best team players who really shares the ball regardless if he even gets 10 points a game. Any NBA player that comes to our team really fits in the style of play, because we're always looking for the open guy and noone cares if they get 10 shots a game or 1 shot. Bosh loves the fact that he has 2 top quality point guards (starter TJ Ford who gets 8 dimes a game, and our bench point guard Jose Calderon who gets 6 off the bench!!). Every game, there will be a different points leader, whether it be the first man on the roster or the 6th man. Just watch a game and you'll hear the announcer's saying "that's unselfish basketball" and how we kick the ball in and then swing it around the perimeter and back in untill we get a great look.

probably the Spurs, they definitely play team ball, win championships and I can't picture any of their core players playing elsewhere.
if you mean top 5 of all time, they're certainly in the discussion. only a few teams have been considered dynasties. the spurs are on the lower end of that but are talked about in that respect. they hurt their reputation a little bit in their past championship but i guess a team that plays dirty is still playing dirty together.

The Nets would beat any college team 100 out 100 times.

I can agree with the above and say Spurs, but another team who plays team ball is the Houston Rockets. All five of their lineup plays team ball.As far as succesful I can say they will predict they will make it deep into the playoffs.
