No way comparing the 3peat teams to the 98 lakers when we’re talking all stars that compose a team’s “core unit”Odogg wrote:But Shaq, Kobe, and Rob went on to win 3 rings together, and noone cares about Van Exel who had become a cancer.wisdomafterall wrote:Shoulda woulda coulda is not the name of the game here that core of players already wonelmouse03 wrote: Yeah but 73 won 60 games and Wilt shot 73% from the field.

The “core units” that have been mentioned eventually won championships. Like you said the 90s team had 4 very talented all stars and I care about NVE because I grew up watching him he was an exciting clutch point guard.
Point being... a core unit that’s wins 2 out of 3 ... 3 out of 4 ... or whatever is disqualified from discussion in this thread as I meant to indicate that I’m talking about a group of talented guys that couldn’t get it done despite dominating the league...
As you can see how silly everyone’s argument is (no offense) electing to suggest team that indeed got it done and figured it out.
There is only one true answer to this thread and it’s the 96-98 Lakers
