1. My team has the two best players in the series: Magic & Bird.
2. My team has better spacing.
3. My team has better defense.

It's all about the chemistry, boyz.

In order to beat Magic and Bird, my team would pray very hard.
Time and time again, chemistry is the key. Players need to know their roles and play them well.

Honestly the only way my team could beat spy's would be for Wade to channel 2006 NBA Finals MVP Wade. He's better than Dumars.
I also question how well Magic and Bird could work together in a 7-game series, but it's only a minimal doubt.
'Sheed would definitely make Bird work for his points, bang him up a bit.
Iggy gets nixed by Wilkins; they're the same kind of player in many ways.
Is Gasol better than Mourning? Seems so.

But is all this enough to overcome the assumed chemistry of the fiercest rivalry the NBA has ever seen? Bird has been public about this not working, hypothetically: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/07/larry-bird-pacers-celtics-lakers-kevin-durant-magic-johnson
 
Not that one can "stop" guys like Wade and Wilkins, but I think my team is as well equipped as any to do so. If Dumars could guard MJ, he'd be able to guard Wade; if Iggy can guard LeBron, I'd have to think he'd be just fine with guarding Wilkins. Not to mention, both players primarily want to attack the basket, and they'd have Alonzo Mourning waiting for them there.
