Can't compete with centers? They beat the supossed most dominant center....then turned around and to SA to the limit, one quarter away from back to back. Your knocking on Detroit, arguably the best team in the last 5 years is growing old.

Right one championship.How many minutes were they away from another?Seconds?When you have to argue that they are the best team in the last 5 years when the last 5 were medicore it looks weak.The best part is their "era" was when SA was retooling and the lakers fell apart.The farther we get from their championship the less impressive it gets.

How do you rate a championship team? What makes a "championship" team mediocre? SA has never retooled as long as Duncan has been there. Lakers fell apart when the Pistons dismantled them. Last Philly championship?

This has nothing to do with Philly.The SA team that won it with David Robinson doesnt have another player on this or last years team besides Duncan.No Parker,Ginobli,Bowen,Horry or anybody else from this year.Thats the definition of retooling ,dumbass.You rate Championships on the level of competion they played against and how many rings they won.Both criterias the Pistons come up small.Lakers fell apart when kobe raped that bitch.

The Pistons came up small against a Lakers team with Shaq, Kobe, GP, Karl Malone, and whomever else that had 3 rings? Bitch please.

NBA tangent time...
I believe that it is most important to "rank" players based on their dominance during their era. Oscar Robertson's triple double season is very impressive. Elgin Baylor had phenomenal numbers in an era in which teams shot the ball 130 plus times and hit only 40% from the field. In Baylor's best scoring seasons he shot only .401 percent. Consider Russell averaged over 22 boards per game over his career 50s to 60s, as did Wilt and other players such as white bread Bob Pettite and Jerry Lucas averaged 18 plus boards per game. Say there are 160 rebounds to be had in a typical game in 1967. If you get 20, you grabbed 12%. In todays game, teams shoot about 45% (shooting peaked in the NBA's golden years the 80s, 1985 Lakers shot over 54% as a team that year, unheard of nowadays), but teams shoot much less, 80 shots is the norm. So a 20 per game average in 1967 is really a 13 per game average now (still great).
Micheal Jordan is the best 2 guard. Magic Johnson would be my point guard, without question. Other players on the short list would include, I. Thomas, Clyde Drexler, Kobe Bryant. John Stockton can't be left out of any point guard discussion.
