Do the Boston Celtics edge out the Los Angeles Lakers as greatest team in history?

The Boston Celtics are arguably the best team in the NBA. Team president Brad Stevens has constructed a juggernaut roster that dominated the league throughout the 2023-24 season. He has since re-signed the core to long-term deals, ensuring Boston remains positioned to contend for more championships in the near future.

Currently, the Celtics have one more championship than the Los Angeles Lakers. Head coach Joe Mazzulla will undoubtedly be hoping to continue building a gap between the two rival franchises. Lakers head coach JJ Redick must hit the ground running if he wants the Purple and Gold to keep pace with their most fierce rivals.

During a recent episode of ESPN’s “#Greeny,” Host Dan Greenberg discussed which team, out of the Lakers and Celtics, have been the better team throughout the history of the NBA. He looks at the star talent both teams have boasted and the dominant era each franchise has enjoyed.
