    89-90 and I don't think it'd be terribly close. I believe the 99 team was a great, scrappy, but overachieving team. When it counted, they really had no one who could simply turn it on. I mean, JR Rider was the leading scorer at 13 a game. I'd bet the 90 team had at least 3-4 players who scored more than that. Not to mention one team got swept in the conference finals while one made it to the NBA Finals.

    I think one could be a clean sweep. The 99 team was a year away from being great and didn't have the type of veteran leadership the 90 team did. CD and TP would absolutely eat Mighty Mouse and Rider alive. Buck v Rasta would have been the highlight of this series though. 2 of the best at what they did.

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...
