- The Celtics '86' would have a big advantage over the Heat '13' in the frontcourt. Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish would both have a huge impact in a 7 game series.
- LeBron James vs. Larry Bird would be epic. Both players would score, and potentially cancel each other out.
- The Celtics '86' would struggle with the speed, and quickness of Dwyane Wade, and the rest of the Heat.
- The Heat '13' have a solid bench with players like Ray Allen, and Shane Battier. Rashard Lewis, Chris "Bird Man" Anderson, and Norris Cole would all be x-factors in a 7 game series.
