It certainly does. Congrats again, Whitebeard. You are still the benchmark.

Tend to agree with you re the Eagles - its hard to know how highly to rate him. He got a few big boosts - being gifted the first title, plus from memory he was a bit of a day trader. Plus he played a season in Italy before playing in the Australian league, so he had a season's worth of knowledge on all of us, which I think was pretty invaluable.

He really should have won more titles than he did, but as I suggested in my writeups, he had a nasty habit of taking teams too lightly.

Shoei gets underrated because he came across as not really knowing what he was doing. Can't argue with the results - though I tend to think that if he was in the big 8 he would probably have struggled to win a title. The fact that he never really had decent cup runs tends to probably hurt his legacy a bit to.

Excellent contributions by Bryce and Mllama, I am happy to have some of the all time greats giving their opinions.

most OTs in a season by 1 team = 5. BTW lost all of them. Just another part of history which I hope someone else can beat that record :D

Your team just isn't clutch. Have to rename it San Antonio.

I use to hate SA, cos they always beat the Suns in the playoffs... but now after that game 6 loss I kinda feel sorry for them. So close yet so far... it only took 1 free throw or 1 rebound and the 5th title would've been theirs. People have been writing them off for years for being too old.
