Tough one, and near impossible to determine since the eras are all jumbled. Probably the Lakers, just due to prime Shaq, Wilt and Magic. C's bench might be a bit deeper. Definitely would be an interesting game.

I think you misunderstood the question. Make a combined team with all time Lakers and Celtics greats and pit them against the all time greats from the rest of the NBA.
lol Celtics/Lakers team would get ass ed
It would be hard. Shaq would play against himself as would anyone else who's been on other teams. Would Malone be on the Jazz or Lakers?
Stupid question tbh
and what is the criteria for this? just anyone who's ever worn a Laker/Celtic jersey, or somebody whose best years were with the team? Is Malone or Walton on the Laker/Celtic side?
I think the Dream team beats about anyone ever, and they had one Laker and one Celtic.
Michael, Scotty, DRob, Hakeem and Stockton would be hard as to beat.
nba team got MUCH more defense. They'd rape pretty bad tbh.
Payton/Jordan/Bron/Timmy/Hakeem
nobody scorin on dat team, they lockin down like crazy and gotta a load if size to boot 2.
Stockton/Kidd/whoever
Jordan
LeBron
so many PFs/Cs
so many PFs/Cs
Any Laker/Celt against the rest. Shaq would have to come of the bench.
dam son u and ur gurl look great. God bless.
LMAO @ shaq. Jordan n bron in da lane gon make it extremely tough on centers 2 stay outta foul trouble.
It would have to be when they were at their peaks in a Lakers/Celtics jersey, I would imagine..otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense..
It would also have to make sense, fit-wise, so it wouldn't just be the best players on the team in the starting lineups..
Just how would the Nba handle these big men. Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Shaq, Walton and more.
That would be a nightmare. You get Barkley to choose from as well.
Let me know when, I am buying tickets and airfare for this ... house be damned lol
Magic
Kobe
Bird
McHale
Shaq
vs.
Isaiah
Jordan
Lebron
Duncan
Hakeem
I think NBA team would win.
(disclaimer: Wilt not included because I assumed question is asking for human beings and it just wouldn't be fair to the other team)
Foul Shaq. Problem solved.
Those others could be a problem, but Wilt wouldn't score 50 with the Dream and Timmy in the front court, not to mention DRob and a host of other choices.
How I would build the teams...
Team Celtics/Lakers:
PG - Magic, Cousy
SG - Kobe, Pierce
SF - Bird, Worthy
PF - McHale, Garnett
C - Kareem, Shaq
Team NBA:
PG - Stockton, Nash
SG - Jordan, Robertson
SF - Lebron, Pippen
PF - Duncan, Nowitzki
C - Hakeem, Robinson
Would this game be played without the recent rules regarding Hack-a-____ plays?
Russell as PF and Kareem as C and Wilt was human.
This sounds about right, except I wouldn't include Cousy, since by all accounts, his game wouldn't translate to today's games..I would just move Jerry West to PG instead of him, since he could play the 1 or the 2..
I would have Nash at starting PG and take Stockton out, put in Isiah or Payton instead(for different reasons, I'd lean towards Isiah)..
If Wilt is included in the NBA side, which he should be, I would put him there instead of Robinson..Wilt was past his prime as a Laker, his best years came when he wasn't with them, so he shouldn't be included on the NBA side..
I wouldn't play Nash. He cannot play defense. I would take Zeke over him any day. Actually I would put Chris Paul over Nash if I had to make a team today, even in their primes.
Magic would eat Nash alive.
