Puts the 1980's NBA in the 98 Utah Jazzs, how many ring?

They were definitely pretty tough Louie. Not as tough as the Lebron Era, but still a lot more harder than the 90s. I think Lebron will win 5 champions chips in the 1980.

It was a tougher era because it wasn't watered down (due to expansion), and teams could shoot better. Teams like the 00-02 Lakers (with two guys and a collection of stiffs) or the brick-laying 90's Knicks wouldn't make it out of round 2, and the 90's Bulls would struggle to win one championship.
