Regardless of how it comes about, greatness is always celebrated. If you want further proof of this, ESPN is still recognizing the Celtics/Lakers dynasties of the1980s. People still celebrate the Bill Russell-led Celtics of the 1960s and Jordan’s Bulls to this day.
Make no mistake, the NBA has never truly been a league of parity. Since 1984, only ten teams have won a championship. Since that same time, three franchises–Bulls, Lakers and Spurs–have won five titles. The NBA has never been March Madness, the NFL or MLB. The NBA is a league where only the very best will triumph.
