Greatest Celtic Team 1960's Debate

The greatest decade of NBA basketball success ever. The 1960's Boston Celtics. But the question is, who was the best? Lets hear it boys, especially some of you grisly vets who were around to actually see it live.

Also per request by Jammer, I put an other option just in case someone would like to make a case for a team that did not win a championship, although I don't think that is possible, but I am to please.

Hard one...so many great teams...I guess I'll vote for the 1969 team simply because they were HUGE underdogs and took down the mighty Lakers in a shocker...11th and final title for Russell and the team of the decade...
It's still 17 to 11!!!!
