This is a really good Cleveland team and that OKC team was the hottest team in the history of basketball when they beat them, I think maybe it's a case where the good teams are stratostrophically great right now.

Between the WCF and the finals I believe GSW is facing down the highest combined ELO in history so acting like they aren't facing incredible competition is pretty whack

Okc was not the hottest team when they won lmao

get rid of conferences, institute a round-robin tournament style where every team has to play every other team in the playoffs in a series and rank them on a point system.

Elgin Baylor is better. Stockton had the best power forward ever to play the game* most of his career. If you can't get it done with the best ever at a position playing most of their career with you, you aren't the best never to win a title. It's not like they had a bad coach.

Its really a shame that he hosed up his knee so badly, he should have had a lot more years at his peak. The saddest Elgin Baylor fact is that he retired midway through 71-72, and that was the year the Lakers finally got a title

I agree. At least 2k includes a healthy version of him on that team.

If Dirk played with a point guard as good as Stockton most of his career, he'd have way more titles. Malone did and has 0.

Dirk played with Nash until 04 ended. That's hardly most of his career. Also, Stockton is remembered as a good defensive player. I loved Nash but he wasn't remembered for his D and became better after he left.

If that pf could make a FT, we wouldn't be having this conversation through.

I don't know much about Elgin, I just appreciate Stockton's consistency.
