Haha. I'm just messing. Love the topic.

I missed the king and I and given what you just said theyd be on my 'quality' list at number 4.

My Rankings:

1. King Drive Ballers---Best all around BB'er ever. Great team(s).
2. Silverbacks---Phenomenal defense, great outside attack.
3. Upsyndrome---Regardless of not having a deep resume', has quickly put together perhaps the bes USA team ever, and is dominant home or away, loaded with USA NTers'
4. Heathens---Read #2
5. Funky Town Fire---Tanked too soon...probably would have been #2 on this list if he kept his team together 2-3 more seasons. See 93/94 Phoenix Suns :-(
6. Lake Merrit---Coco was the Emmitt Smith of the NBBA. Not great at anything, but good at everything, benefited from longevity.
7. Bullish Mentality--For a few seasons had one of the most dominat teams in the USA.
8. Chicago Bulls---I am not sure he would have been as successful if he started playing this game in Seaso 10, but he was one of the early guys to dominate and was the motivation for guys like Ice Storm, Brian, and Coco to try as hard as they did.
9. Ice Storm---Read #8
10. A tie between like 10 teams could make #10, and several active teams will likely move into the top 9 at some point.

For me, teams before seasons 8/9 are kinda exempt from this. The league wasn't developed - guys who won at beginning were the ones that started in NBBA.


I just wanted to add, the ones that started first were the pioneers who lead the way for us all and that's a challenge in on it's own. For me, I value that greatly. Moreover, I made my BB debut in s8 in the midst of the KDB v Ice Storm BC battles for supremacy and that, complied with their BB pedigree, was huge in my decision. Likewise, my brother started a few seasons earlier than I, and he was on the Bulls hype train. Because of this, I'm curious as to what the general consensus is for managers of seasons past and present. KDB was everyone's number 1 choice for years, but has his dominance, and managers alike, transcended time?

I think so. KDB was one of the pioneers of the game, but then he tanked for a bunch of seasons, and did it again (and better) in a different era of BB.

Also, for what it;s worth..Brian was my mentor when I first started...and although we run very different tactical teams...Much of what he taught me way back when I benefit from today.

Not a top team, but USA Elite will never be forgotten with their unique player builds.

Shikago was mine, but come to find out in recent seasons...he was trolling me the whole time.

You're the highest ranking team on GM-Jason's list with a mentor. Which makes me the top mentor in USA history! (And as any great mentor is wont to do, I take 100% credit for your success. )


Anyway Jaden Smith also falsely thought he was being trolled, when Jackie Chan asked him to put on & take off his jacket thousands of times. Before eventually realizing that it wasn't trolling after all... :

If it's history, and not currently you are talking about, then you'l have to settle for a Tie as greatest mentor in USA history, because Arizona has been #1 before :-)

Yeah, but that's different. This is a basketball simulation game and you had me putting on & taking off my pants thousands of times...
