    The 2010 team

    Beating the evil empire is always special and game 7 is the greatest basketball game ever, a war of attrition.

    This was also the hardest one arguably (1988 was a slugfest as well). We limped into the playoffs that year and took every team's hardest punch. Several players were playing through injuries and we relied on a few last minute heroics such as Artest and Pau's tip ins to win games.

    Then the 7 game series against you know who. Ron's defense against the wheelchair was key. That game 7, wow what a game. And it was against them, which makes it special. And to top it all off was Ron's press conference.

    ironically, 2010 was the weakest of the 08-10 finals teams

    My bad, when you referenced Big Game James, I assumed you meant the year when he was Finals MVP and had the series winning triple double which was in 1988 against the Pistons.

    Beg to differ my friend. 2008 we were sans Bynum and *with* Radmo. I’d take 2010 over 2008, even if Bynum played on one leg.

    Huh? The 2010 team was definitely better than 2008 because they had Bynum. I’d argue they were better than 2009 because Artest was a better matchup against Pierce. I’m not sure that 2009 team beats the C Bags in 2010 without Ron Artest that’s how important he was.
