    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.
