NBA Hierarchy as Monarchy: All-time Greats - Part One

[zoom17]

Nice thread again.

I like how you made Kobe, Roman Emperor Caligula aka Gaius Caesar son of Germanicus. That's genius.

you should of added the celtics run as some kind of challenger or somthing cuz they were pretty dominant during their 4 year span together. something like the dawn of the three king era and the heatles could the the dust of the three king era. i think that would be pretty awesome

Thank you.

I really like that one and Duncan Von Bankshot. To me Timmy is pure German, stoic, machine-like, loyal, unwavering, brilliant etc.

One thing I think is clear is that 2002 is a classic overlap season, Duncan MVP but loses to the reigning king Shaq in the playoffs, and 2003 and 2008 are classic changing of the guard, MVP beats the reigning king in the playoffs (Duncan/Shaq and Kobe/Duncan)

I agree here for sure.

It works best when a new king beats an old king in the playoffs.

History Never ends...If I can come up with some angles worth using I'll add more sections.


Too bad it's already over

Part two is at the top of page two, decided to make them both in one thread.

How difficult would it be to explain the Bulls winning in 1994 with Pippen?

The Lord Michael of Jeffrey retires, and his Team defends their title... lol.

Would that require an extra section for Pip and one year?

BTW, I think you kind of forgot/left out Pippen and Stockton in Challengers to the Throne, IMHO..

Very good players, but always 2nd best on their team (save '94)

I only gave the crown to folks with two titles or more. If the Bulls win in '94 a lot of things are different.
