Most dominant seasons in New Orleans Pelicans history

While championships often define legacy, regular-season dominance can reveal just as much about a team's peak performance. From record-setting win totals to historically efficient offenses and suffocating defenses, these seasons represent the highest sustained levels of excellence each franchise has reached.

Stacker compiled a list of the most dominant seasons in New Orleans Pelicans history using data from Stathead. Seasons are ranked by Simple Rating System (SRS), which measures point differential adjusted for strength of schedule. Developed by Sports Reference, SRS measures a team's average point differential while adjusting for strength of schedule, making it one of the clearest ways to compare teams across eras.
