I'm not sure if this was asked before, but arguably the best teams of the last decade would be these two teams. Here's how they breakdown. Who would win a 7 game series?
Lakers (67-15)
PPG 100.8
OPPG 92.3
Celtics (66-16)
PPG 100.5
OPPG 90.3
Some interesting storylines of notice
Shaq vs KG (The interviews alone would be entertaining enough)
Ray Allen vs Glenn Rice
Pierce vs Kobe
Rondo vs a younger Fisher
Horry vs Posey
Trying to be unbiased, This would be tough to call. That Laker team was amazing. Shaq had his best year averaging 29.7 ppg 13.6 rpg 3.8 apg 3.0 bpg. Kobe chipped in with 22.5 ppg. The basic makeup of these teams were similar in that both had an MVP quality big man, a creator and finisher on offense, and the best 3pt shooter at the time. It would come down to the role players. The Posey vs Horry matchup would be fun to watch. It would be interesting to see how much charges a younger Fisher would get on Rondo. How about Big-Baby going up against Shaq, both LSU alumni. Shaq might be the difference, he would get KG/Perkins/P.J./BBD in foul trouble and screw up our rotation.
FYI-This Laker team also had Rick Fox, Ron Harper, Tyronn Lue, AC Green, and Devean George
