Probably the greatest series in NBA history, hate to see either team lose. Rondo and Perkins...even Big Baby have stepped up but age is showing in Beantown!

The greatest series in NBA history? Maybe you could say it is one of the most enjoyable or entertaining or closely matched series but the greatest series in NBA history? Wow.

I will answer.
HELL NO.

The Celts got those championships when a grand total of
8 teams existed. And the sport was NOT close to fully integrated.
Participation was horribly low compared to today.
Russell would play today, as would Oscar.
But some of the other guys...

Jerry Flippn West barely ever used his left hand on the dribble.
Go back and watch that old stuff. Some of it was quite
pitiful. Jerry could shoot the heck out of the ball though.
