Everyone here knows how I feel about 50's-60's NBA. I kinda agree. I don't hold it against the real great players, but those titles were won playing against teams full of Doug McDermotts.
Most importantly to me, the Celtics have won 1 title since I have been on Earth. The Lakers have won 7. They have also been in the finals for a full one-third of my life. I ain't one of those guys who will complain that the last ten years were really painful and shit, but some of those teams were really bad. They bottomed out badly, compiled assets, and did a great job with them. It's just last summer people were saying the Lakers gave up way too much for Davis, where people including Laker fans were shitting on the supporting cast and LeBron, and I thought those dummies were wrong all along. It's nice to see them proven wrong. You can still win in the NBA by playing big boy basketball and dominating the paint.
