Who wins this all-time championship league?

[Marchesk]

Instead of all-time franchise players, take the best championship team for each franchise and put them in a league with modern rules. They have a summer to prepare.

In the case where a franchise has several all-time great squads from different eras, they can be donated to teams lacking a championship.

For example:

Philadelphia 76ers 83 squad is an all-time great, but so is the 67 one. So ship one to Cleveland or Washington.

Which team wins the league?

Edit: the Kings can have the strongest Shaq/Kobe team.

There's 4 teams in the 80s alone I'm not sure the Bulls would beat in a 7 game series.

Just a terrible list.

Just a terrible list.

Have you never heard of the Elo Rating? Pretty much tells the most dominant teams of all-time from the historically worse teams of all-time.

I don't understand how you could say that's a terrible list. All of those top teams dominated their respective season, some more than others.

Most indefensible rankings from that list

1. '10 Magic over '01 Lakers
2. '71 Bucks outside the top 25
3. '09 Cavs top 15
4. '09 Lakers top 5 all time
5. '03 Spurs top 25 all time

Reminds me a lot of Billingsley's Top-200 college football teams of all-time.

I'm reasonably certain that both lists just threw a bunch of teams in a hat, and pulled them out one-by-one.

Complete JOKE.

Criteria is very unfair to more modern teams.

A 30 team league is going to have talent a little more spread out, while the 9 team leagues, or whatever they were, are all stacked with talent, relatively speaking.

Most likely to win is probably the '67 Sixers? Wouldn't shock me to see an early Lakers team win, either. Or a 60's Celtics.

those 87 lakers and 86 celtics would slow the game down and BRUTALIZE the bulls in the post.
