And regarding the Hall of famers on one team. The Lakers have five from their 85 squad. Jamaal Wilkes, Bob Mcadoo, Kareem, Magic, and James Worthy. You also failed to mention Dennis Johnson and Nate Tiny Archibald for the Celtics squads which would put them at five hall of famers on one team also. But hey those are just facts that cannot be disputed.
Also if you want to include Pat Riley and KC Jones then you've reached six hall of famers for both teams. I'm done here.

The ratings for the Finals have topped 10 million every year. The golden 70's supposedly that our sports expert realtalk was referring to never got close to 10 million. Now if we're comparing to Jordan's era then yes, ratings were sky-high then. Jordan started a boom in the NBA's popularity.
Fair enough on that Lakers squad. One of the best teams to ever hit the floor together.
Doesnt change the fact that there are several recent teams that have loaded up on hall of famers. LeBron/Wade/Bosh/Allen, Kobe/Nash/Howard/Gasol (although that obviously failed), Garnett/Pierce/Allen, Nowitzki/Kidd/Carter
