OK: Phi '83, Det '04, Bos '08 and Dal '11 are only teams to win a title w/o Shaq-Kobe-Bird-Magic-Dunc-MJ-Isiah-Hakeem on roster since 1979.
If we were playing Clue, it would be Howard Bryant in the Zen Room with the Ipad...enjoying some serious rain hitting the metal roof
The point of this entire exercise is not to criticize Rondo, but just to say that you really have to be A-List to win an NBA title. #nofluke
Sorry. Pistons!
Magic-Bird-Isiah-Jordan-Dream-Shaq-Kobe-Duncan have 30 of last 33 NBA titles. Only Pierce, Dirk, Julius/Moses have broken the monopoly. Wow
Outside of '04 Pistons, its tough to find an NBA champ whose best player wasn't arguably top 5-6 in the league. Where was Dirk last year?
@Buster_ESPN agreed, but not for the Tigers. Young teams need as many wins early. Detroit may have an easier time making up ground
Not my list, but part of convo.15 > Rondo. Agree? LBJ, Wade,Dwil,CP3,Dunc,Park,Kobe,Dwight,Rose,Melo,Westbrook, Durant,Dirk,Aldridge+Blake.
Friend says Rondo is C's best, but 16th best player in NBA+5th best PG. I respond: How many teams win title w/best player ranked so low?
Biggest disappointment last night was the Celtics' total lack of urgency.
