A lot of people get caught up in the fact that this was Magic's rookie season and he won a championship right off the bat but let's not forget people that Kareem won the MVP this year. Kareem was the best player in the NBA this season. Amazing effort by Bird who won rookie of the year and led Boston from last place to the best record in the league. The biggest single season turnaround in NBA history. WOW.
@TheEntertainmentonly Not only Cowens, but Pete Maravich. His last season was '80 and he as well as Cowens only played that year with Larry Bird. Think of Bird, Parrish, Cowens, Maravich, Maxwell, and McHale all playing together (McHale was a rookie with the Celtics in their '81 championship season).

The 1980 NBA Finals was a matchup of two great teams but the Lakers were just more athletic & had better Big Men

Old school NBA rules!
The 80's and 90's were the best eras in NBA.

Dave Cowens and Larry Bird!! Sadly, it lasted only one year. Imagine a squad with Cowens, Parrish, and Bird.
