In an alternate timeline, the 76ers would have been the dynasty of the decade.

the best individual statistics in basketball history are #1 tied the rebounding from wilt chamberlain and bill russell #2 tied the scoring from wilt chamberlain along with the shotblocking from bill russell and a MASSIVELY close #3 is the shotblocking from wilt chamberlain and #4 is the passing from oscar robertson

Slow your roll dennis rodman still exist

Pat riley/ paul westhead almost invented fastbreak bssketball / run & gun basketball ;;

@@thelyric8266 i rather have kurt rambis; dennis robman very selfish rebounder; play dirty

@@lloydkline1518 he won 5 rings grabbing the most rebounds against David Robinson shaq Hakeem at 6'6..averaged 18 rebounds while guarding magic...but ehh your pick

Yep! That really bothered me. The Moses rockets were no joke. And don't forget Billy Paultz.

Rudy "Ran my face into a fist" Tomjonovich

Like the picture of Oscar doing the splits mid air when they are talking about Kareem. Sometimes editing can be a miss. Fun video though.

the #1 tied best teams ever are the first 10 celtics championship teams led by the prime version of bill russell and #2 is the 1967 76ers led by the prime version of the other goat being wilt chamberlain

@@youtuber3328 The greatest for dominating their era. Head to head I doubt they could handle The Lakers, Celtics or 76ers of the 80s. The Lakers had the Greyhounds Cooper, Wilkes, Nixon and Magic Johnson. The best fastbreak in history. In the half court they had the #1 option Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The 60s Celtics were a great running team of for that era but the athletism went to another level in the 70s and 80s. Russell would always play well, great D, rebound, he wasn't an offensive threat or had the bulk to bother Jabbar. Just nostalgia to say they could beat those later team. Greatest? That reasonable 1964 perhaps but not the best.

@@teofemo7000 having between nine and twelve teams meant average role players like kurt rambis would never ever make the nba

@@youtuber3328 Boston had role players like Don Nelson compared to Rambis. Kurt was bigger, quicker and more skilled defensively. Rambis fit in perfectly because he besides hustled and toughness had great footwork, could run the floor and sometimes fill the lane for Nixon or Johnson. Rambis was more athletic than people gave him credit for. Do you think the 60s Celts could beat Bird's squad with McHale, Parish, DJ and Walton? I respect your opinion but as longtime fan I don't see it.

@@teofemo7000 don nelson was NOT a role players he was very elite and the larry bird's scoring didn't equal the A rebounding and B shotblocking from bill russell

Miss those days

Remember they changed the rules so Jordan and The Bulls could dominate. Rules in the 80’s were way different. I read the rule books for both eras.

Magic was better with the media, so Kareem got shafted as the media wrote the story the other way. It was unfair and childish but that's how it went.

Kareem would continue to not get his due the remainder of his career especially in the GOAT conversations. Glad to hear he's being mentioned today as his body of work speaks for itself. I just wish Magic would mention him more when people want to talk about Jordan as the GOAT. Magic should at least mention him during those conversations as other names would get brought up like Lebron, Bird, Wilt, etc.

@@eddieG667 Unfortunately, Magic desperately wants to stay among the Basketball Trinity (Jordan, Bird, himself) and with that is the requirement that he trumpets the Stern Propoganda: The NBA was at its weakest in the '70s (Reality: the only weak aspects of that decade were the commissioner, Larry O'Brien, and the horrible TV package of CBS Sports), Bird and Magic SAVED the league (Reality: They revived the NBA by leading in a new style of play and new generation of players; Kareem and Dr. J carried the league until their arrival; The NBA was NEVER in danger of folding), Michael Jordan "made basketball global" and is the game's Greatest Player Ever (Reality: saying Michael Jordan "made basketball global" is like saying Columbus "discovered" America. In 1956, Bill Russell won a Gold Medal 🏅. In 1960, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West brought home the Gold from Rome. In 1968, Spencer Haywood turned it out in Mexico for another Gold Medal. If basketball is an Olympic sport then it IS already global. If people say Jordan made professional basketball global, they're wrong again. The Harlem Globetrotters are considered basketball ambassadors around the world). Kareem did way more and was more immediately impactual on his teams than Michael Jordan. People love to point out Kareem won no titles without Oscar or Magic. They never won without him, either. However, he did have winning records and advanced in the playoffs without either on his squad. Michael Jordan never produced a winning regular season record or advanced in the playoffs WITHOUT Scottie Pippen. Julius Erving, Isiah Thomas, and Robert Parish always say Kareem is the GOAT. Magic basically had a front row seat and yet refuses go off the Stern Propoganda script. Michael Cooper, who had a front row seat along side Magic, always says Kareem was the Best of all Time.

@@JAWrightonline dunno about Magic wanting to be up there. He never mentioned himself except when cornered by Dan Patrick and even then, just was really vague. He's already said Kobe is the best Laker several times (which I think is again a slap in Kareem's face) On another thread, someone talked about the effect Len Bias would've had on the Celtics. I think that pushes out Detroit's run and likely the changing of rules to pretty much handed Jordan his dynasty in the 90s. The NBA pretty much didn't want the Pistons to win any longer and ended up making rules against teams like the Knicks.

@@JAWrightonline Dude, this is the best comment ever. Loaded with FACTS.

I’ve said this so many times and get dragged by 21 year old Kobe fans. Both are great, but Magic was…Magic
