Are the '86 Celtics the Greatest team ever?

[Remote]

All I know is the 2014 Warriors would get swept.

 

[LezJepzin]

'96 Bulls by a fadeaway over McHale and Parish .

But before that 72-10 squad ten years later, they were the best of all time.

Still GOAT frontcourt

For me it's 86 Celtics or 87 Lakers.

86 Celtics had Prime Bird, Mchale, Chief, DJ, Ainge, Healthy Walton, Wedman (who was a good scorer with the Kings) and Sichting. That Team would dominate the paint, and could also run and shoot from the outside. That team had FIVE Hall of Famers in it's rotation.

87 Lakers had Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Cooper, Scott, AC, Mychal, and Rambis. This team had 3 Hall of Famers, two of which are in the top 6 greatest players ever.

definately... the 96 bulls played ina weaker era.. the celtis were stacked and had the goat front court... the bulls were seriously carried by jordan and phil jackson

They almost lost to the Cavs

And the atlanta hawks

 

[Juggalo Fred]

And the atlanta hawks

They still won

You could say the hawks were better than the Lakers that year Cuz they gave Boston a better fight than kobe and them

That Celtics team went 40-1 at home and swept the Bulls in the 1st round. MJ averaged 43ppg

Look who his teammates were

True. That bulls team shouldn't even be mentioned for that reason. He gotta compare them to the 72 win team for a great argument. Jordan may not have been as explosive but everything else around him was superior. And he was still playing at a goat level.

89 Pistons were tough

86 Bird is better than 96 Jordan

Mchale would regulate and parish would embarrass the likes of luke longely

Rodman would hold his own against Kevin bro
