2017 Warriors had the most talent ever, '86 Celtics are right behind them.
The '86 Celtics roster was insane.
Bird - Best player in the league. MVP winner.
McHale - Entering his peak, unstoppable during the postseason that year. Top 5 player in the league.
Parish - All-Star center. Gave you 16/10 a night & reliable defense.
DJ - One of the best defensive guards ever. Still in his prime, was an all-star the year prior.
Ainge - Entering his prime. versatile 2 guard who is one of the best role players ever
Walton - 6MOY award winner that season. Best back up center in the league
Wedman - Former All-star, now role player. Known for his shooting
Sichting - Like Wedman, known for his shooting. Pesky defender who never seemed to miss a mid-range shot.
Not enough perimeter defense to be elite in today's game. Too slow and clunky, too. I raise you the 2004 Lakers:
Bryant - Top 3 player in the league. Entering his prime.
O'Neal - Top 5 player in the league. Exiting his prime, but can still give you 40 and 20 in a playoff game.
Payton - One of the best defensive guards ever. Still in the tail-end of his prime, was an all-star the year prior.
Malone - Still a solid, all-around player. When he got hurt, the Lakers struggled big time.
Fisher - Clutch 3-point shooter and scrappy playoff player.
Fox - Exiting his prime, but can still knock down threes and pass the rock well.
George - underrated 3&D player.
Medvedenko - unreal mid-range shooter. Played well in game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Walton - unbelievable passer.
