I don’t know why, but it seems like I should have a “favorite” NBA team. By default my team should be the New Orleans Hornets. I’ve seen them play twice, and they are the closest game around. They have a superstar in Chris Paul. Everything points to me choosing the Hornets. But I won’t. Not this season, anyway. After coming to the conclusion that the NBA was worth it enough to pick a team, I narrowed my choices down to four. Now I need your help getting just one.
Let’s break down each of the four teams.
Denver Nuggets
- Established in 1967 in the ABA and joined the NBA in 1976
- 6 Division Titles, 1 Conference Title, and 0 League Titles
- Overall Record (through 2008-2009): 1319-1493
- 0 Players in the Hall of Fame
Houston Rockets
- Established in 1967 as the San Diego Rockets (in Houston since 1971)
- 4 Division Titles, 4 Conference Titles, and 2 League Titles
- All-Time Record (through 2008-2009): 1846-1790
- 7 Players in the Hall of Fame
Milwaukee Bucks
- Established in 1968
- 13 Division Titles, 2 Conference Titles, and 1 League Title
- All-Time Record (through 2008-2009): 1844-1699
- 9 Players in the Hall of Fame
Oklahoma City Thunder
- Established in 1967 as the Seattle SuperSonics (in OKC since 2008)
- 6 Division Titles, 3 Conference Titles, 1 League Title
- All-Time Record (through 2008-2009): 1877-1753
- 4 Players in the Hall of Fame
These are your choices. Who do I support until the end of the season (and possible forever)? Help me choose.
