if winning championships isn't the goal, then what is?

It may be the ultimate goal, but it is not the single measuring stick. Were the Nets really equally as successful as the Celtics this year, despite not reaching their goals?

The value of a championship changes as the game changes. Athletes were less capable in the earliest years of the league

Intuitively I would have said Celtics, but would have to look deeper into the teams. What I do know for sure is anyone who does not allow for any subjectivity is wrong

The point is that this thread is stupid.

This thread is stupid, because it is subjective, and nobody cares anyway.

Any discussion that does not allow for subjectivity is either stupid, boring or worthless. On this, it could be good if someone would offer something other than counting the number of championships. Close enough that the 46 or 47 years without a championship could make up the difference between the 16 or 17 years they did win. . .

Only Celtics and Lakers fan care about being labeled the best franchise ever, i would think most fans care more about season to season or the last 5 years or so. Not too many fans care about 20 years ago
