Do you think this year Heat are at the top 30 teams in the history?

at the 1971-72 Lakers in 4th!

Most opinion pieces of this type put the 1966-67 76ers 1st and the 1971-72 Lakers 2nd, or vice-versa.

Never seen a piece that puts Boston up there, or New York for that matter. Terrible article.

Ahh, the '71 Lakers. Best known for their record-setting consecutive win streak of 33 games, snapped by -- that's right:



The Milwaukee Bucks

Pardon me as I escort myself out..

Um.. Ron? Do the words "chronological order" mean anything to you?

[36 Karat]

To be fair, it's pretty small print. I didn't notice it myself until you pointed it out.

But yeah, poorly formatted article, if anything. They need to put the whole chronological bit near the title.

It took Kareem and Oscar's team to snap Wilt's record breaking streak its to be expected.

The bucks championship team with kareem, oscar and dandridge is one if the most underrated teams ever. Won 60+ games blew through the playoffs winning by over 15 ppg, swept the finals. Featured two of the best players ever. Yet always overlooked because they atent a large market franchise

very good team but it's a little misleading to suggest that they had two of the best players ever, technically it's true but Oscar was 32 and in decline, certainly not the triple double machine of 7 or 8 years prior

Yeah, that is true. That bucks team i believe did sweep that defending champion all time great laker team on their way to the title as well

No, Not unless they win 66+ games and go on a 20+ game winning streak.

Ah, you got me. Ha ha. I should have known an official NBA site would have made the "top 10" neutral. Sheesh.

My original statement still stands, tho. 1 and 2.

How old was your dad then? 15?

I remember the game, knew it was going to come to an end sooner or later. For sure against the defending champs.

Something else you won't know firsthand...the Bucks gave the Lakers all they had in the WCF. I remember getting blown out of the two games the Bucks won and barely winning two of the four in that series...however, wrapping it up on Milwaukee's floor was special.

the guy who is undersung on that squad is Dandrige - great defender, big contributor on the Bullets title team too

Hahaha sad part is, no, my father would not have even been 15 years of age at that point.

Gotta love YouTube. I've been catching a lot of archives of these teams from decades past, problem is, it seems plenty of classic games simply aren't available, or were never properly archived in the first place. Tis a shame.
