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.

I completely agree here. I've heard the games which Bill Russel and Wilt Chamberlain played against each other in were some of the most awe inspiring ever. I hope to find some footage of old games sometime in the near future.

I have a question though.... does anyone know what happened to Patrick Ewing? I used to watch games between Orlando and New York and they were awesome. Shaq and Ewing were great, up against each other like that. Anyone know?
