@Asim Ali Showtime won 5 titles in the 1980s with 3 different Finals MVPs. Magic won in 1980, 1982 and 1987. Kareem won in 1985 when they finally beat Boston and Worthy won in 1988 when they beat Detroit. How many teams in NBA history have had 3 players all capable of carrying the team to the championship when needed? Certainly not the Bulls. There was MJ, and then there was...MJ. Sorry, Scottie was never good enough to carry the team, even for a short series. The Lakers had 3 guys good enough to do that.

Also one of the most clutch players in history, he averaged 27 and 8 on 60% fg in game 7s, won a finals MVP, led the lakers in playoff scoring in their championship years of 87 and 88 and was 2nd in 85. His 21.1 play off average and 22.2 finals average is better than Isiah Thomas, Clyde Drexler, Reggie Miller, etc.

@@taimurabid5135 it's tough to say. As a team unit, it's not even a competition. Plenty of Spurs teams were incredibly good because each player contributed and they cultivated a winning culture. Hence being the most successful post-Jordan franchise. They for the most part didn't need 1 guy to go off and score 40 in order to win games. The Big 3 Heat were also incredibly good when they were at their peak. You could also argue though that their Big 3 was kind of overrated. After 2011, Dwayne Wade wasn't the same player as he use to be. Chris Bosh was a great player who had moments, but he was also kinda overrated. Lebron was arguably at his best when he played for the Heat, that's their 1 saving grace. They had the best player in the league and when he was dominating, the team was actually good enough to really help him win Championships. The difference between the Heat and Spurs were that the Spurs had probably the best coaching in the league and had selfless superstars like Tim Duncan uphold a culture that prioritized defense, getting everybody involved, and winning games. The Heat were fun to watch, they had a player who could easily take over games when needed, and they could beat anybody in multiple ways. Tough to tell. Curious to see what Clayton's gonna pick.

On the clip of Magic hitting the baby sky hook against Boston in Game 4, thank you so much for using Chick Hearn's broadcast instead of the national CBS buffoons. I wish I could find replays of classic Lakers games as called by Chick. On KZbin I've seen replays of great past Lakers games but they're all national network broadcasts and, quite frankly, the announcers are all terrible.

These Lakers would've probably beaten the early 1990s Bulls in a Finals series. They wouldn't have lost in 1991 like they did with that stripped/injured roster

Well thats cheating....these and the 01 Lakers were the best Lakers teams of all times....how about this 87 vs the 96 bulls, were both teams are matured, been in high stressful play off games and finals, not the young 91 bulls.

As someone who's watched and obsessively studied basketball since 1969 , imo if you could move those 90s Bulls back ten years to the 80s, they wouldn't have won a single championship and most likely not even gotten to one most years.

I've said that the 1987 Lakers could very well be the greatest team ever. Certainly, from top to bottom, they are the best Lakers team ever, with all reverence to the great 1972 Lakers' championship team.

Man, Pat Riley really is one of the greatest coaches and leaders ever to not be talked about as much as Phil. His resume speaks for itself, even as a background office head for the Heat. There’s just so many things right here for this team to work so good. Magic and Kareems leadership qualities cannot be understated.

In the 80s lots of people who generally didn't care about the NBA or basketball would stop what they were doing to watch the Lakers and/or Lakers v. Celtics. They were that good, and they were great to watch. Showtime Lakers and Larry Byrd Celtics was the best era in Basketball.

Worthy was an otherworldly athlete, a 6'10 racehorse w/elite jumping ability. The idea that, idk, Klay Thompson (no shade toward Play, who is great in his own right) is somehow more able to hang athletically than Worthy is laughable. As a pure athlete, Worthy would humiliate all but a very small handful of SFs who've come since
