'86 Celtics > '96 Bulls
Parish/McHale/Walton vs Longley/Rodman/Wennington? LOL!
Peak Bird is pretty much equal to '96 Jordan.
DJ & Ainge are better than Harper.
Celtics bench is more versatile & deeper.
Game Over.

I agree that the '86 Celts are at least equal and arguably superior to the '96 Bulls (their frontcourt gives them a big advantage), but way to completely leave Pippen out of your analysis.

Even with Pippen, the Celtics are the more complete team, the Bulls have three guys in their starting line-up who can't create their own shot offensively, Longley, Rodman, & Harper by '96 lost his athleticism & was an average shooter at best. The only starter on the Celtics who couldn't create his own shot was Ainge, but he was an excellent shooter, but ultimately the Celtics size would wear out the Bulls in a 7 game series. Parish/McHale/Walton vs Longley/Rodman/Wennington is a huge mismatch on paper, & Dennis Johnson is better than any of the Bulls' guards not named Jordan. Originally Posted by OldSchoolBBall

'86 Celtics and '87 Lakers are right there.
As far as GOAT, I believe you can only rank players against their own generation. Trying to rank players across different generations will always be a flawed argument... even though it's fun to try.

Oh wait, this is just a marketing gimmick. Not even Jordan's own opinion.

Very few people can be arrogant narcissist, and still stay funny as hell 
I even doubt its written by someone else, sounds like Jordan's words in his interviews.
While I think '86 Celtics is a GOAT team, but as with all rankings, its up to debate.

In terms of scheduling and absolute domination, the '71-72 Lakers were probably the most dominant team of all-time. They played in a 17 team league and played EVERY team a minimum of four games, and as many as six. And they outscored them by a 121.0 to 108.7 ppg margin (+12.3 ppg), as well as outshooting their opponents by a .490 to .432 margin, and outrebounding them 56.4 rpg to 52.3 rpg. Including the post-season, they went 8-2 against the 48-34 Knicks (and their FIVE HOFers), 4-1 against the 56-26 Celtics, 7-1 against the 57-25 Bulls, 5-1 against the 51-31 Warriors, 5-1 against the 47-35 Sonics, 4-2 against the 49-33 Suns, and 8-3 against the defending champion 63-19 Bucks.
