The Mount Rushmore thread had me thinking, who are your top 4 US teams of all-time:

[delete]1. Mof State Squizzes[/delete]
1. King Drive Ballers
2. Ice Storm BC
3. Chicago Bulls (If my brother had to marry a BB team, this would be his top choice)
4. Lake Merritt Arrows

The S33 Upsyndrome team was pretty nucking futs

I think I'd have Silverbacks #2 on this list....They had the most dominant defensive team ever...and they had a prolific outside scoring attack when nobody else did.

This page is good for reference: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/country/1/overview.aspx)

For my top 4, legacy (Including teams that dominated earlier than others) and overall title count (Cup, NBBA, B3 runs) played a huge factor. For me, dynasties and dominance over many seasons = greatness. Silverbacks were a great team, but they miss my cuttoff, here's my extended top 10:

5. Silver Backs
6. Bullish Mentality
7. Funky Town Fire
8. Heathens
9. Tucumcari Whalers
10. Arizona Dessert Storm

Haha, yes, it was nucking futs.

1) Jefferson Jaguars
2) Toronto Traptors
3) Mountain Eagles
4) King Drive Ballers
5) Mof State Squizzes

I'm seeing my name too low on all these lists

I feel like this is a 'bait' thread (upsydrome has to be in the top 3 even now), but entertaining nevertheless. :D

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 also have no idea about teams from seasons 26-31, I was asleep at the wheel (sorry ozone).

Silverbacks were fantastic because they were successful without LI - there was no other team that was as successful with 'outside' tactics in my time.

Having said that, Heathens were just before my NBBA time and they were utterly dominant with outside game.

Funny thing is that KDB version 2 was incredible team on paper, but brian never seemed to go all in on the NBBA when he probably could've walked it.

Love Stogey23 and his Bulls but I don't think they were transcendent. LMA were just fantastic and competitive for such a long time.

I'm still slightly annoyed that I got bored after 3 in a row as my team was young enough to win another 2 and would've dominated this list! ;)

I got 2 lists, quality of team:
1. Lake Merritt Arrows
2. Upsyndrome
3. KDB v2
4. Heathens
5. Silverbacks / Funky Town v1 ;)


And personal faves:
1. Silverbacks (eww (32422685), but , (59227970) yay!)
2. Burlington Mountain Goats
3. Lake Merritt Arrows
4. Arizona Desert Storm
5. Chicago Bulls / Salisbury Auerbachs

Haha! Actually, no, that was never my intent. I thought it would be interesting to see what the general consensus is regarding this topic and to compare my list to others. Much like Jason, you have a very interesting perspective bcuz of your NBBA pedigree. I'm actually surprised by any list that KDB is not #1, but that's interesting.

Quite frankly, at this point, I think it's premature to list my team in this discussion. In my opinion, much like the NBA HOF selections, it takes the appreciation that comes with time before a team can be accepted onto a list such as the "GOAT." KDB, Ice BC, Bulls and the Lake show are my top four teams of all time, easily. When people compare MJ to Lebron or Kobe, they always point to his 6 championships, the matter in which he accomplished this task (3peat x2), and the strenght of competition, as to why he is the greatest ever. I believe the same goes for this discussion. I'm a titles guy, and I love the dominance of dynasties...people remember dynasties (Repeats, 3peats+); NBBA, Cup and B3 success is the bases in which my list is ranked upon.

A team I would like to mention is The King and I. I probably overlooked them in my top 10 due to lack of titles, but their B3 run was top 3; lead by NT greats such as Ackers, Soto and Reedy...they won 2 titles w/ an inspirational semifinals B3 run (1 of only 3 US teams to do so; the other two being KDB/Bulls). More than ever before, I loved how they represented the US in the B3 with 4 NT greats. That was one aspect that separated his team from others, and what made his run even more rememberable in my eyes.

Toccoa Panthers is still America's Team.
