Undeniably true. The filmmakers actually wanted to throw a shout out to the Crispus Attucks team (had a star sophomore named Oscar Robertson who led them to titles the two years after Milan), but ended up really distorting reality (the Muncie Central team that Milan beat was I think 4 black after 8 white, and South…

It was 1996. Pillman died in 1997.

There’s Hot Springs and the Ozarks in Arkansas, plus a Presidential Library if you’re into that sort of thing.

How about Kyrie hurting his knee in Game 1 of the Finals?

The 1974 team is one of the best in NCAA history and broke UCLA’s stranglehold on CBB. Hilariously overlooked historically.

“

1968 Cardinals had a 3-1 lead, were the defending World Champs, and had a friggin’ monster in Bob Gibson, who the Tigers couldn’t touch, lurking in Game 7 in St. Louis. That, to me, is a worse collapse than what Cleveland did...hell, my biggest point of contention is saying the Indians were “undignified” in losing. If…

The 1899 Spiders are the worst team in baseball history, a team so bad they folded shop after the season. I wouldn’t go with it because it’s an even bigger historical fail than the Indians at this point. I do, however, think IF they were to go go an old name, the Cleveland Blues could be nice. You could tie it into…

1995-96 Detroit Red Wings

I think the biggest sin wasn’t throwing...it was going 5-wide with Lynch lined up in the slot. Not even having the OPTION to make Lynch a focal point was bad, IMO.

Jackson, yes. Custer rather famously got his ass handed to him by the Indians.

Looked like he may have hit his funny bone.

2001 Mariners. Patriots lost a close Super Bowl largely due to a miracle catch, Golden State lost to a team with an all-timer having a colossal series and another All-Star playing great. Seattle barely survived a slightly above mediocre Indians team in the ALDS, then got smoked in 5 by the Yankees in the ALCS.

He wasn’t the only one.

I don’t disagree that MJ is better than LeBron. Of course, LeBron never lost in the first round like MJ did, but that’s neither here nor there. And if you’re saying Kidd ain’t a Hall of Famer, we’re done. Kidd is certainly higher on the all-time totem pole than Shawn Kemp.

I would also add Ginobili and Parker to that list. If you want to get technical, you could put KG, Allen, and Pierce as folks he beat en route to a title. You’d have to add Zeke, Ewing, and Reggie to MJ’s head count, buy still. And no coach that Jordan faced in the finals was as good as Gregg Popovich, for that matter…

Durant and Westbrook?
