Ive been watching what lakers games I can, and they are absolutely awesome. I do live in Ohio so they are not on TV a lot, but what games I am able to watch just blow me away. With Kobe and Shaq working together instead of fighting this year, the Lakers are completely unstoppable. I bet my one buddy 5 buck thst the Lakers wouldn't lose more than 10 games all year, and I think he's a sucker for taking the bet. If anyone else out there is a BBall fan please let me know what you think.
You've gotta be kidding, right?
The best team ever would probably have been the Boston Celtics team of the 1950-60s with Bill Russell that won 10 straight championships. Their record speaks for itself.
They would be followed by the Chicago Bulls team of the early 90s which won their first three-peat (pre-Jordan's first retirement). That would then be followed by the Lakers team of the mid-80s with Magic, Worthy, Byron Scott and Kareem which won 5 championships in the 80s. Then that would be followed by the Celtics team that won in '84 and '86, which had asd their starting five Bird, McHale, Parish, Ainge and Dennis Johnson. They were, in a word, awesome.
This Laker team is good, but they have a long way to go before they can be called one of the best ever, IMO.
