The best teams of all-time were not playing in 2011, teams in more recent years are considerably stronger on average and at the top. The 2009-11 Lakers were a super team back then, but would be a 2nd round out today in most years.

2nd round outs in recent years? Did you not watch the 2023 Lakers who made the Conference Finals? I would favor the 2011 Lakers over them. The 2023 Heat made the Conference finals too and I would take the 2011 Lakers. Go back a year and the 2022 Mavs made the Conference Finals and 2022 Heat. I would take the 2011 Lakers over them.

The 2023 Lakers flipped the switch in the playoffs. They were not the same as the RS version. They'd have run over those old Laker teams. Ditto the Mavs.
