I agree Horry shouldn't be in the top 96, but valued his role playing ability and rewarded the 7 rings. I don't think Horry is even a HOFer, but I respect the opinion.

Did you see the Bad Boys 30 for 30? Even Isiah Thomas who hated the Celtics admitted that 1986 was the best ever.
Bird, McHale, Parrish, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge was a superb starting 5.
Bill Walton(healthy for this season) backup C
Jerry Schting
Scott Wedman 
was a nice bench.

I agree he wanted to give the 1986 Celtics love, but I think they are worthy of that spot. The 96 Bulls were overrated IMO the NBA had just expanded to Toronto and Vancouver and diluted the league even more. Jordan/Pippen/Rodman were studs, but Luc Longley, Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr weren't that good. The Bulls 97 team was better than the 96 team because of Brian Williams(Bison Dele) giving them a legit post game which they never had in any other championship team. Simmons has since amended his all-time teams from  1. 86 Celtics 2. 96 Bulls 3. 87 Lakers 4. 89 Pistons. 5. 92 Bulls and put the 87 Lakers 2nd and 96 Bulls 3rd.

Knicks rank your top 5 teams of alltime. Don't use back to back seasons i.e. 87 Lakers, 88 Lakers, 91 Bulls, 92 Bulls.
