In March 2016, legendary Boston Globe correspondent Bob Ryan penned a column plotting a hypothetical matchup between the 1985-86 Boston Celtics and the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors, a team that would go on to win the most regular season games in NBA history.
In this virtual tilt, Stephen Curry still managed to collect 36 points on six three-pointers. However, the big man depth of the Celtics ended up being too dominant for the small-ball Warriors to cope with, as Boston would eke out a narrow 110-106 victory at the United Center in Chicago.
