Both teams won three chamionships a piece..... but if I had to pick one, it'll be the Spurs...... Duncan, Parker, Robinson, & Ginobili would of been a nightmare for Bird's Celtics.

The Celtics had a superior front court with Parish, McHale, and Bird and where much tougher mentally
the celtics win easily in 4 or 5 games

I can't remember if Robinson was there when Ginobili and Parker were big. With that, Bird's Celtics did make more finals appearances than Duncan's Spurs. So I will say Bird's Celtics in 6 games.

Bird, Parrish and McHale formed the greatest front line ever to play the game... by far. Check the top 50 list.
And Bill Walton had his only fully healthy season in 1986 while playing for the Celtics, playing in 80 games that year, by far a career high for him.
You obviously never saw these guys play basketball, especially since you think that guys like Rasho Nesterovic or Malik Rose could handle any of 'em.
That's FOUR Hall of Famers and Four Top 50 players on that front line. Duncan and Robinson wouldn't stand a chance.
Even guard Dennis Johnson's career was of Hall of Fame quality. Can't say that about any of the Spurs guards (yet).
The Celtics won "only" 3 championships because they were competing head to head with the Lakers (Kareem, Worthy, Magic, Nixon, etc) and 76ers (Malone, Erving, Cheeks etc).
They knocked Jordan's *** out of the playoffs a few times though (Jordan would lead his Bulls to a #8 seed in the east, and they'd get their heads handed to them by the top seeded Celtics).
It wouldn't even be a seven game series.
Celtics in 4. A total mismatch.

Well if you matched any modern era team against a team from the 80's or 70's, the modern team would win. The game is so much different then it was 25 years ago. Now a days guards rule the game with tons of 3's and fast break.

C'mon people it's the twin towers Duncan and Robinson, I say the Spur's. And then you add Park and Ginobili and you have 4 awesome players all together.

Wow, good dream matchup. Both great sets of teams.
Celtics were deeper, though. Too many good guys for Spurs to handle.
