The focus of this series of articles will be to come to the ultimate conclusion, through votes, of what team stands above the rest in the history of this great game. You will see Bill Russell’s Boston Celtics, Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and even LeBron James’ Miami Heat among the 16 teams. We start with the Old School Region, which pits four teams from the 195o’s through the 1970′s against one another.

And we want you to vote on each matchup.

Check out our post on the Old School Region and make your vote count.
