Have we ever had a team this unified?

[Magic Spray]

The finals teams were not this close off the court.

Not only that, they had Karl Malone, who notoriously blasted teammates, Larry Miller, and the media every summer. Mailman was amazing, amazingly durable and was the last Jazz player before Mitchell who could take over a game on-demand.

Karl was also a prima donna who thought he deserved much more recognition than he ever got and he let everyone know about it.

You had Big Dog, Karl Malone, John Stockton, and Jeff Hornacek who were all 10-year + vets with families plus a bunch of young pups (Shandon Anderson, Bryon Russell, Ostertag, Eisley) who were really trying to make a name for themselves in an NBA that was beginning to pay out big contracts.

On top of it all you had hard-*** Jerry Sloan who was throwing mo-fros like Chris Morris in the dog house arbitrarily and on the regular and Larry Miller making his presence known every so often.

There was a lot going on for those teams. They were very professional, but I would never describe them as a tight-knit group.

I know I was there. In high school. Watching on KJZZ.

Yeah, it's called Joe Ingles. He's the first round MVP. That guy is messing up OKC so hard and getting them rattled. He'll never put up Haywood numbers but his intangibles can't be replaced. His defense has been stifling and his antics are the type you love if he's on your team but hate if not.

It's incredible how QS has these guys unified. He's found a way to play to the strengths to a bunch of not All Stars (even though we have at least 2 IMO).

Joe is screwing with his second 1st round opponent in two years. And yeah, he's screwing with the whole team. The bigger the opposing star's ego is, the more effect he had on them and it's wonderful for fans to see. They just can't accept a math teacher-rec league player having the audacity to get up in their grill.

KJZZ FTW. Didn't even need cable for games. FML.

Yeah but he's backing his trash talk up on both sides of the court. Box score and advanced stats be damned, he's producing results.

Maybe 2003-2004 Jerry's kids? They seemed to like each other a lot and that underdog 9 win prediction label ESPN threw at them before the season.

Dude. Making fun of children with muscular dystrophy is low. For shame.

No team that had socially awkward Stockton, AK or Hayward as their best or near best player was closer than this group of guys. Stockton was a good leader and a great player on the court. Stockton wasnt close to guys like this team is off the court. AK was busy playing WOW. We all know how close Hayward was to his teammates, lol.

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

I can't wait to see him **** with the Rockets.

Great username, welcome

To be fair, Chris Morris deserved to be in the doghouse. He was what would happen if you took the athletic body of Donovan Mitchell and did a brain transplant from a caffeinated chinchilla.
