For example, my favorite version of the Clippers was the generation from the 2000 season to the 2002 season.

The lineup looked something like…

PG Jeff McInnis
SG Quentin Richardson
SF Darius Miles
PF Lamar Odom (who was injured half the time, the one player on the team i disliked)
C Michael Olowakandi

And off the bench you had Corey Maggette, Eric Piatkowski, Keyon Dooling, Sean Rooks, Earl Boykins, Cherokee Parks LOL etc…

What’s the favorite version of your team???

[butidonthavemoney]

Mine is the Jazz from 1996 to 1999

Stock/Eisley

Horny/Anderson

Russell/Morris

Malone/Keefe (OK, so I never understood what the eff Keefe was supossed to do…)

Big Dog Carr/Ostertag (Dubbed by my mother as Double-Zero)

The glory days… Too bad we could never get that championship…

[Toronto16Participant]

1990-2000 Raptors

C: Antonio Davis
PF: Charles Oakley
SF: Tracy McGrady
SG: Vince Carter
PG: Alvin Williams

If that core had stayed in tact…… Man, the possibilities.

[OhCanada-Participant]

I gotta agree with Churchboy.

[GodfatherParticipant]

Frazier
Bradley
Monroe
DeBusscierre
Reed

Phil Jackson
Dick Barnett
Jerry Lucas

[GodfatherParticipant]

Churchboy, what do you mean, the possibilities?

Carter and TMac are two of the most selfish players in the league, they would NEVER have worked.

I HATE the Heat, but I do think that LeBron and Wade can work.

There is zero chance TMac would have jelled with Vince Carter

[McDunkin]

2004 Pistons

PG: Chauncey Billups
SG: Richard Hamilton
SF: Tayshaun Prince
PF: Rasheed Wallace
C: Ben Wallace

Bench
Mehmet Okur
Mike James
Elden Campbell
Lindsey Hunter
Darko

2003 Spurs (or 2005)

PG: Parker
SG: Jackson
SF: Bowen
PF: Duncan
C: Robinson

Bench
Manu
Ferry
Kerr
Claxton
Rose

2003 Kings should be here too but im tired of typing lineups

[Toronto16Participant]

@Godfather So were Kobe and Shaq, and they worked. At the end of the day it comes down to how much these players want to win. Futhermore, T-Mac and Vince were cousins, they wouldn’t have bickered with one another about shots.

[uneik1Participant]

I believe it was Riley first year as Knicks coach

PG: Mark Jackson (The general)
SG: Gerald Wilkins (aka: Jordan stopper, lol) we know that wasn’t true.
SF: Xavier McDaniel (the crazy man who shaved his eye brows to look more intimidating)
PF: Charles Oakley (the enforcer)
C: Patrick Ewing (The Franchise that never delivered)

Bench: John Starks, Kiki vandeweghe, Anthony Mason, Greg Anthony

I wish that team would have stayed together for more than one year. They gave the Bulls all they could handle. X Man had Pippen on lock in the playoffs. Damn I miss those rivalries instead of all the buddy buddy shit we got in the NBA now.

i would have to go with my hometown pistons… the 2004 version thru the 2006 season

PG-billups
sg-rip
sf-prince

[GodfatherParticipant]

Churchboy, Kobe and Shaq played different positions.

Just because they are cousins doesn’t mean that they would be so gracious to each other.

And I agree, it comes down to how much these players want to win, which is exactly why I don’t think they would work.
TMac has never played in the second round, and Vince is the least clutch player in the league.

[TRC1991Participant]

sonics 1996

PG-Gary Payton
SG-Hersey Hawkins
SF-Detlef Schrempf
PF-Shawn Kemp
C-Ervin Johnson

bench:
PG-Eric Snow
SG-Nate McMillan
G/F-David Wingate
SF-Vincent Askew
PF-Sam Perkins
C-Frank Brickowski

[Toronto16Participant]

@Godfather Right, but when they were both playing in Toronto, they use to push each other to play better. That’s why VInce became the star he was when he first started out. He and T-Mac would out do each other night after night, amazing highlights every night in T.O. After T-Mac left, Vince never played as hard and T-Mac was detroyed by injuries.

2009 Utah Flash

PG: Kevin Kruger

2003 spurs as mcdunkin already put down

[cap777Participant]

Best time I ever had watching a team.

Jason Kidd
Kerry Kittles
Richard Jefferson
Kenyon Martin
Keith Van Horn

[llperez]

i would say this current lakers team. But a close second would be the mid 90’s version when they first got exciting again after rebuilding from the showtime era:

pf-Elden Campbell

sf-Cedric Ceballos

c-Vlade Divac

sg-Eddie Jones

pg-Nick Van Exel

bench-Sedale Threatt, Anthony Peeler, George Lynch

[SubZeroParticipant]

I’m not a Lakers fan, but I loved the Fisher-Kobe-Fox-Horry-O’Neal team.

And the Bibby-Christie-Stojakovic-Webber-Divac Kings team. Watching those 2 teams go at each other was amazing to watch

But I’m a Thunder fan and the current team is one of my favorites of all time also. For some reason it feels different watching highlights of the Thunder. You can tell they have chemistry together

[TRC1991Participant]

I also LOVED the knicks/heat rivalry from 1997-2000 where they played in the ECF all three seasons

knicks:
PG-Charlie Ward
SG-Allan Houston
SF-Larry Johnson
PF-Kurt Thomas
C-Patrick Ewing

off the bench: Latrell Sprewell, Chris Childs, and Marcus Camby

heat:
PG-Tim Hardaway
SG-Dan Majerle
SF-Jamal Mashburn
PF-PJ Brown
C-Alonzo Mourning

off the bench: Terry Porter, Clarence Weatherspoon, and Voshon Leonard

heat:
PG

[Tyreke JohnsonParticipant]

Showtime Lakers baby
How can you not love a team with Byron Scott, Michael Cooper, A.C Green, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, James Worthy and Magic Johnson etc

[the fanParticipant]

The Bucks team that lost to AI in the ECF, early 00’s Kings, Suns in 05, Warriors the year they beat the Mavs.

[SubZeroParticipant]

Latrell Sprewell is not a man I would want to fight. Just ask PJ Carlesimo

[marcusfizer21Participant]

Guards:

#9 Ron Harper

#23 Michael Jordan

#25 Steve Kerr

#0 Randy Brown

Forwards:

#33 Scottie Pippen

#7 Toni Kukoc

#91 Dennis Rodman

#30 Jud Buechler

#35 Jason Caffey

#8 Dickey SImpkins

Centers:

#13 Luc Longley

#34 Bill Wennington

#22 John Salley

#53 James Edwards

 

The team that won 72 games in 1995-96…

[marcusfizer21Participant]

forgot to mention Jack Haley… He served as Rodman’s babysitter…

[Afactor4Participant]

Speaking as a neutral, I concur with most about the early 2000’s Sacramento Kings team. They had the clutch PG with great range, the “Kobe-stopper”, the sharp shooter with a decent all around game, and the “franchise” talent PF. Their bench was also filled with some great and exciting role players.
