    Of course the league used to have considerably less competition for these top rungs in the league in the 1940's, 50's and 60's before expansion became a norm.

    Overlooked in all of this are those early 80's Sixers teams, which in four years made three NBA Finals, and would beat the tar out of the aforementioned mid-70's Havlicek-led Celtics teams.
