Heat with 3 All Stars 4 straight years...

Post by thedangerouskitchen »

Begs the question: How many other teams can say the same in the last 25 years?

Not 4 straight years, but didn't the Pistons get like 5 guys in one year in the 2000s?

hard to be an allstar when some stars take 25-30% of the shots.

Doesn't it say something when a player "retires" and two guys turn out to be allstars?

Not sure... I'd have to look it up. I know some of those great 80's teams had 3-4 all-stars quite often, but in the past 25 years I dunno.

Not really because those 2 players had comparable seasons in years they didn't make the AS team.

Looks like I was off by 1. Pistons managed to get 4 guys into the 2006 ASG.

I do think in general Grant is underrated, though (not to take anything away from MJ and Scottie though, just liked him as a player). That being said, he was overly emotional, so he was kinda bitchmade.

Aha, yeah, the year that the coach of the Pistons was the all-star coach as well, right?

I agree... Grant was a integral piece of the Bulls' success.

So getting back to the topic... has any other team in the last 25 years sent Not 1, Not 2, but 3 players to the All Star game Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, but 4 straight years?


Anyone...?

Not sure, but here's a quiz that goes back to the merger:
