Jerry West, Gale Goodrich, Wilt Chamberlain, Chick Hearn. The Celtics.

Yep

Those were the days, my friend
we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance
forever and a day.

I dont think any team has won 33 in a row like the Lakers did in early 70’s. Chick Hearns creative descriptions really added to the enjoyment. He could really rattle off the info on a play. Some fun ones below...
“Puts him in the popcorn machine,
Lakers can’t buy a basket,
Lakers can’t throw a pea in the ocean,
Defense is so bad, my grandma could score,
Mustard came off the hotdog,
Blows the layup!,
Dribble drive,
Sulam Dunk!!
Shoots a leapin’ lena,
Finger roll,
Game’s in the refrigerator,
He’s all over the place like a cheap suit,
No harm, no foul, or
No harm, no teeth, no blood, no foul
and finally...
He coulda’ made that call in braille...
