June 16, 200422 yr OHHHHHHHH OKAY When i was watching I couldnt f***ing believe the 72 dolphins weren't on there..... It makes a lot more sense now that I realized that was more than 25 years ago.. haha, oops Nice to see the canes represent twice in the top 10 though
June 16, 200422 yr I think it is harder to dominate is baseball than in basketball. A good team in baseball will still lose 1 out of three against a terrible team. In basketball and football, good teams regularly trounce bad ones.
June 17, 200422 yr espn plays favorites constantly. if they could just start being objective instead of only paying attention to the 'big' teams..... they could be good again. How are they being objective, if you watched the show they said that the list was voted on by the people. So they had nothing to do with it, it was people like you me and that decided this list.

In basketball and football, good teams regularly trounce bad ones. not true anything can happen on any given sunday....bwahahaha! honestly, football is crazy, the cardinals beat the vikings last season on the last game of the year, if they(vikings) would have won, tthey would have been in the playoffs.

That thing was HILARIOUS. I see it almost every day to make me laugh. TOUCH----- TOUCHDOwWwWwwWNNnNNN! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE CARDINALS HAVE KNOCKED THE VIKINGS OUT OF THE PLAY-OFFS!
June 17, 200422 yr Any given game there's a chance for the underdog in any sport. Probably more so in basketball because tempo is such a key to every game so home court is important. Football is a game of inches and anything can happen as well. Hockey too because one fluke goal is usually the difference. Baseball on the other hand provides the best chance for the better team to succeed. 9 innings, 3 outs, no time for the opposition to stall. However some odd reason even the best teams lose a third of the time.
June 17, 200422 yr i think baseball has the best shot for the underdog to win. 1) the pitcher makes a HUGE difference. 2) Size and speed really don't matter as much as in the other sports because there is no contact, and there is not contesting of shots. 3) They play in series, so a team can learn a lot more about their opponent in the course of a few days.
June 17, 200422 yr That helps the better team as well. Probably more because they'll likely have better pitchers and veterans who can scout their opponents easier.
June 17, 200422 yr That helps the better team as well. Probably more because they'll likely have better pitchers and veterans who can scout their opponents easier. naw, a terrible team can have one good pitcher...such as last season...we (Furman) beat Clemson twice and South Carolina once in baseball. Were we the better team? Not so much. Clemson and USC are always ranked in the top 15 in the country, so of course we weren't better. But we had Tom Mastny pitching, who led the NCAA in ERA and was the Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year....that's how we won. Same like, Randy Johnson could be on the Pirates, and they'd have a great shot at winning, even though the Pirates suck (no offense Nugs).
June 17, 200422 yr what were the 72-73 dolphins? that's exactly what I was thinking. The Dolphins and the 96 Bulls, it doesn't get a whole lot better than that.
June 19, 200422 yr i realize im real late on this but how did the Dream Team get stuck at 21? i realize the competition sucked but this team included Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Admin Bird, Clyde Drexler, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippen, John Stockton, Charles Barkley and Chris Mullin. all those guys on one team and they got stuck at 21?
June 19, 200422 yr 72 dolphins = greatest team ever (and yes i understand espn25 covers the last 25 years)

I was thinking the exact same thing...when I first heard that the Yankees had won first, I was outraged, but the truth of the matter is that that team deserves to be top 5, after watching the countdown... Yet, the Dream Team should've been top 5 too. I mean, come on! this is the BEST basketball team EVER assembled! Watching this guys play on the same team was something special, something that no other team will ever be able to recreate.

Watching this guys play on the same team was something special, something that no other team will ever be able to recreate. i think they should of been 10-20, because the team was built by just handpicking talent out of the nba. no question the us hockey team of 1980 should be ahead, because they were a bunch of college kids who came together, played like a team, and pulled of the greatest upset in sports history
