Summary:
[NBA 6, ABA 3]
1968-Boston (NBA) 118, Pittsburgh (ABA) 99 [MVP-Bill Russell, Boston Celtics]
1969-Boston (NBA) 115, Oakland (ABA) 112 OT [MVP-John Havlicek, Boston Celtics]
1970-New York Knicks (NBA) 97, Indiana (ABA) 90 [MVP-Walt Frazier, New York Knicks]
1971-Milwaukee (NBA) 113, Utah (ABA) 94 [MVP-Oscar Robertson, Milwaukee Bucks]

1975-Kentucky (ABA) 123, Golden State (NBA) 112 [MVP-Artis Gilmore, Kentucky Colonels]
1976-New York Nets (ABA) 117, Boston (NBA) 114 [MVP-Julius Erving, New York Nets]
Please read the link I provided which has a fictional account of each game. It's just fun and fascinating for me since it very well could have happened.
I believe ABA teams would have dominated in the last few years before the merger.
What would be the implications of the ABA dominating before the merger ? How would it have resounded down the decades? Surely, Julius Erving would have been considered the best SF ever, maybe until Lebron.
