They could've been teammates, had the 'Supes not traded Pippen's rights to Chicago in '87. Thanks for nothing, Olden Polynice. No disrespect to Derrick McKey, but, come on. A Kemp-Pippen frontcourt would've been sick!

@JZ2001JC I can't disagree that a 30-52 record is abysmal. What I'm saying is that, top to bottom, it's hard to tell which teams were more "talented". I agree that Magic & Bird had good teams but that's the top-heavy league I was alluding to. I think these days, the players can't help but be better from the neck down. The '90s players were a balance of neck-up ballplaying and better-developed athleticism. Feel me?

@upabittoolate. Even with MJ that Bulls team in 86 SUCKED, and my point was that 30-52 gets you in the playoffs??? PLEASE. Talent was deeper in the 90s, yes I know Magic, Bird (both who sucked at Defense and were Offensive players mainly may I add), Dr. J, etc. But from top to bottom 90s were deeper in talent and way more athletic. For crying out loud check out 1986 Bucks, made ECF and they would have been a 28 win team in 1996 heck even today be 37 win Pacers at best.

I can't argue what you say. BUT, you have to consider how tough their competition was. That's the only real rubric. The Celtics won 67, regular season games. The Bulls sucked but consider the fact that Jordan only played in 18, regular season games. As for your argument about the Pacers, look at how whack the bottom teams are. Raptors, Nets, Wizards, Bobcats, Pistons, Bucks & Indiana (the best of the worst). That proves my point.
But my argument was about "talent" not how competitive. Dig?

@thehiphopdepot. Read my statement I made to upabittoolate for my counterarguement to your ignorant stupid statement.

@upabittoolate. Actually top to bottom 90s better than 80s and today for that matter. In 90s the lower seeds actually had winning records making the playoffs. 1986 Chicago Bulls were 30-52 and made the playoffs LOL--how is that a strong league top to bottom. Heck last season the Pacers made the playoffs at 37-45---looks strong to me LOL.

@JZ2001JC I've heard the argument that the '90s wasn't as talented top to bottom. And to some degree I agree. But you can't really argue about the Sonics. Not only did they have interchangable parts at forward, they had guards that could defend more than 3 positions. And Shawn Kemp played like a 2 but he lined up at the 3-4. Hell, Big Smooth (the original 1) was a center who stretched the entire defense with his ability to drop 3s. MAN those were some talented teams.

@JZ2001JC nope, there were still 6 good teams and a bunch of shit, lol...

Then Kemp ended up washed up...
