The Lakers and Celtics are the top teams historically but who comes next...

[P2K]

Then why the hell did you create this thread and asked for others' opinions when you obviously had your mind set and discount anything else brought up?

The OS NBA Forum in full bloom.


Or maybe it's just me. I guess I'm just so biased and need to stay out of this because I have no clue of what I talk about.

I didnt have my mind made up. I thought about it after starting the thread. Im not discounting anything. I made a list and youre discounting my list. Thats fine. But I also encourage you to make your own list so I can poke holes in it. If you think it should be the Sixers because their success has been more spread out, thats totally valid as I said at the outset. But from my end, as I thought about it, the Bulls had too strong of a case.

The Warriors were just as successful or even more successful as a Cali team than a Philly team so I wouldn't just call them a Philly team.

Sixers are up there but they really have had only had two streaks of excellence..the short time with Wilt and the Dr. J years.

The Spurs did have an era or consistent competiveness with Gervin and won 5 division titles with him. There recent dynasty over the past 9 years is greater than anything the Sixers did by far. While the Gervin era isn't as good as the Wilt or Dr. J. era, the Duncan era has been remarkable. Even before Duncan, the Spurs were a real competitive team with Robinson.

No team is close to the Lakers and Celtics in terms of continued success but I think the Pistons then Spurs have been the top teams historically. If you place the Sixers over the Spurs, it's simply because they have a longer NBA history. After the Spurs and Pistons, it would probably be the Warriors and Sixers followed by the Knicks and Bulls.

You are discounting what others are saying because when I made my list, you didn't come back with a nice debate.

You came back with "Nice avatar".

That right there fired off shots. You get what you get after doing that.

The Warriors, while good in California, were way more dominant and are way more of a historical landmark while in Philadelphia. Sorry, but I can't agree with you on this.

And that means nothing? That spans over three decades by themselves. 60s, 70s and 80s.

While the Spurs run now is awesome, that trumps Chamberlain, Greer, Doc, Cunningham, Moses, Barkley and Iverson?

Isn't that a part of the equation?

Your opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

I cant believe youre bent out of shape about that. It was no big deal. I was just razzing you a little because you were lobbying hard for Philly teams with this very conspicuous Philadelphia avatar.

So then don't get bent out of shape when I think of your opinion as being stupid and misguided.
