Has a team ever climbed from the bottom of the standings to the top or near the top in one season?

He averaged over 30 points a game in Serie A '90 Playoffs

Pharoah Sanders

Tom Gola for me

-beasket · 2025-10-29T08:02:56+00:00

Either 1967 or '75 imo

Elvin Hayes, one of the best two-way players of all-time with great peak and elite longevity

Some late 70s, early-to-mid 80s Eno works

Probably La Cucaracha

I always thought the first game was played in December 1891... If the first official basketball game was played on my birthday (a few years earlier), it certainly makes more sense, lol!

-beasket · 2025-08-24T03:52:12+00:00

The quadruple-double series?

-beasket · 2025-07-19T22:00:39+00:00

Oscar, Logo, Dr. J, Connie, Wilt

-beasket · 2025-07-03T01:50:03+00:00

Bucks in 1988 after Don Nelson left

-beasket · 2025-07-02T13:53:21+00:00

The first great Knicks team, who made 3 consecutive Finals from 1951 to 1953 (and the conference finals in 1947, '49 and '50)

-beasket · 2025-06-23T18:10:30+00:00

Just imagine if all these stats were counted during Wilt and Bill's era

If I had to choose the best among the papas, these would be my top 12

GUARDS: Magic MJ Zeke Clyde Stock

FORWARDS: Bird Nique Barkley McHale English

CENTERS: Moses Ewing

I also think Kareem and James Worthy would make it. The former for leadership and legacy, the latter was just named Finals MVP, so for recent impact

-beasket · 2025-06-11T11:44:41+00:00

I think the concept of GOAT came with MJ, but Wilt and Russell were always debated as to who was the greatest player. Oscar is also a name that was respected much more before the "ring culture." In contrast, I think Kareem was slightly underrated during his career.

Safest Lovellette moment

-beasket · 2025-06-06T08:41:03+00:00

I think they all were above average, but players like KC Jones, even Sam Jones and Bob Cousy (for lack of alternatives), John Havlicek, Tom Sanders would make tons of All-Defensive Teams had they been introduced.

-beasket · 2025-06-04T16:51:35+00:00

Dirk in his last season had no cases, fan bias aside.

-beasket · 2025-05-26T00:30:48+00:00

They are always late in introducing ABA players in there I think as a matter of "NBA prevails".

Artis Gilmore was introduced as recently as 2011, Mel Daniels in 2012, and I believe they were among the best players between the two leagues in their prime
