    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.

    I was looking at some shooting stats and came across a very very alarming stat. LMA was the league leader in FGA from 16-23 feet. Not only was he the leader he was lead by a mile. His 7.3 attempts from this distance easily outpaced Demar Derozan w...

    Sug I would start with him outscoring Wesley Matthews. He also needs to get his FTA up and his FG% up and cut down the turnovers. 


    His defense was decent last year but not that good as he is either too weak or just unwil...
