Lol at nikkas comparing the 2011 Mavericks 2-3 zone with multiple elite defenders to garbage mid-80’s man defense with 5 cac line-ups

Michael and Bernard King destroyed the Celtics that year
Bernard King never destroyed the Celtics that year . He never even played against them. Bernard King was also one of the greatest scorers in NBA history prior to his terrible injury. Bernard King also destroyed many teams he faced , including the Pistons and others with black players in their lineup.

Imagine thinking someone is terrible defensively because he's white when your King got held up by a white midget called JJ Barea and had only 8 POINTS in an NBA FINALS game!

The Mavs were a top 10 defense in 2011 and by the time they integrated their rotating 2-3 zone in the playoffs they were probably the best defense in the league...

LeBron has destroyed defenses in his era with sub-100 defensive ratings. I don’t know why people act like that Mavs series define his whole career.
1985-86 Boston Celtics Roster and Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

The 86 Celtics were a top 3 defense. Top 3 for fewest opponent field goals allowed and 1st in Defensive rating.

Other teams with All BLACK players, with multiple All DEFENSIVE first team players like the 1986 Bucks rank below them:

You sound a bit racist. Just because players are white doesnt mean they cant defend. That Celtics team was a great defensive team as a whole. It wasn't about individual players.

Above the fray.
i saw the same 6'9 280 lebron being guarded by 6'4 200 lb jason kidd and he looked like a deer caught in headlights :yeshrug:
during that playoff run, in spot duty......aka clutch moments.........old man jason kidd guarded 3/5 of the first team all nba team from that year

kobe, kd, lebron

he's an alltime great defensive pg with the size, strength, and defensive instincts to make great players work just that much harder to get the shot or play that they want

in a game of inches, that can be the difference between wins and losses

Dallas won the ring that year

I edited my post to that era I got the years mixed up. U not gonna lock up scorers like King and MJ playing man-to-man defense.

Yeah, they ate in that era their were many 25 point per game, 50%+ scorers in the 80’s. It was a great era for individual scorers because of pace and lack of zones.

The Celtics were a great team defense for that era but they aren’t equipped to guard players like MJ and LeBron, not with the rules, pace of play, and cacs.

Garbage summary. Why not show the same 69 280 guy switching to the PG then backing out to get a running start at the basket after his teammates stand behind the 3pt line. Lebron is garbage in traffic, off ball, or any semblance of a regular offense.
This was pent up in you before you posted.

This is just untrue. The highest scorers in that era average pretty much the same today as players in the 80's. Of course the FG% was slightly higher back then because players were not jacking up 3'.s Its way easier to score today, especially for the perimeter players. I don't even know what point you're trying to make or how that's relevant to the 86 Celtics in the playoffs.

Either way, you already compared the 2011 Mavs to the 86 Celtics so that says it all.
