Great Top 10 !!! I certainly agree with the number 1 position..that Lakers-Celtics rivalry in the '80's is perhaps the greatest rivalry ever in the NBA!!

[@alejandrosierra792]

80's basketball is the greatest era ever for the sport!

[@isaacannanjr2371]

I keep forgetting Bill Russell has 11 rings. Why is he not talked about in 🐐 conversations? 🤔🏀

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

1. There were only like 10 teams when he won many of those championships. 2. His Celtics were stacked with HOFers including the coach. 3. GOAT is not just number of rings; guys like Pippen, Horry, Kerr would be in the discussion if it were. 4. Russell was mostly a defensive player. Averaged 15 PPG for his career.

[@charleswilliams6758]

@@thebasketballhistorian3291 Doesn't matter. If there was a GOAT, he would be in the conversation. There is no GOAT because you can't compare eras. Jordan said this himself. Different rules, equipment and the obligation of military duty are some of the reasons why you can't compare players in sports from different eras.

Dude the knicks have only won 2 titles and that was in the 70s the lakers have 16 and are considered the best franchise because they literally have won in every decade except the 90s..... so what do you mean? Of your argument is that NYC has the mecca of basketball, let me tell you something.... MSG is the mecca because thats where it was first played professionally.... thats it, so the knicks are nothing special..... almost every franchise in the league is better than the knicks
