Also check out the best players (http://thepaintedarea.blogspot.com/2009/09/nba-decade-2000s-players.html) (MVP: Tim Duncan) and best teams (http://thepaintedarea.blogspot.com/2009/10/nba-decade-2000s-teams.html) (best franchise: L.A. Lakers) of the 2000s.

The Sheed stuff was good, though very familiar. The Lamar Odom bit was pretty good too, yet another reason why the lakers have an embarrassment of riches right now.

I know most people don't enjoy defensive dominance like I do, but the 2004 Pistons were about my favorite team to watch in any sport, all-time. The under 70 streak was my favorite Pistons moment ever. That team was a thing of beauty.

Agreed, and still remember the Nets "celebration" when they broke 70.

Dumbass Nets - fuck that franchise
