Brian's King Drive Ballers probably have the best, longest legacy of any USA team. The best player, now that's tough... I don't think I've been around long enough to be qualified to say. JoeBro and Grubbs should both be in that discussion though.

King Drive Ballers and Ice Storm BC were my favorite teams to watch; Back in season 8 (when I joined BB), they had a following that rivaled Justin Bieber's fan base, or cult rather, of annoying hormonal teenage girls.

Ok, that might not actually be factual, however, Brian James does make me hornier than a unicorn.

Top NBBA team in history. This is not subjective. My opinion is never subjective...

1. King Drive Ballers- They are the only NBBA team in history that can honestly claim a dynasty. Domination in two different eras, and they have the most cups in the history of the NBBA

2. Ice Storm B.C.- They were simply dominant for the better part of 5 seasons( 7-12). The only team to have ever beaten KDB in a finals series, and they did it three times, for their only three NBBA titles. Also the only USA team to ever knock off world super power BC Torooo in the B3 tournament.

3. Lake Merrit Arrows- The Arrows of Lake Merrit are the model of consistency. "Yes we're still here" is the motto that owner Coco adopted two seasons ago. Because the Lake Merrit Arrows were in the NBBA for a record 17 consecutive seasons. That is over four years of consistent winning, and high level competition. Coco was one of the pioneers of the USA offsite forum. He was NT coach twice. He won four NBBA titles, and cup champion twice. His worst B3 finish was the round of 32.

4. Heathens- Heathens trophy case isn't as impressive as the others above and below them, but they revolutionized the game. They introduced a team build unlike any before seen at the NBBA level where they just suffocated you with OD. 1-3 of their team had a minimum of 20 OD, and their bigs had a lot of it too. They showed that you didn't need salary behemoths to be the best. They had a cheap team, a winning team, and a team that dominated teams with double its salary. Also one of two US teams to ever reach the semifinals of the B3.

Best USA players:
This list so far has taken twice as long as I wanted it to, so I'm just gonna list some names, because it's almost 1 AM on a Friday and I'm not going to go in depth about why Joe Bronson was the best and most hated US player of all time. I just won't.

1. Joe Bronson
2. Ishmael Grubbs
3. Jairo Alejandro Renteria
4. Ricardo Madrid
5. Irwin Velasco

Best trainers in US history
1. 420 Shot Callers
2. Brian
3. LionPride- Deal with it. My list. Plus I'm a pretty freaking awesome trainer.

When you have time, if you would, go in to detail about your list of best US players. I'm interested in hearing about why Joe Bro is so hated.

If you have to ask than you're not ready.

Damn you and your pride! Stop strip teasing and show me the goods, already!

What about the worst NBBA teams ever?

Hows my Dirk taste? Wake Forest? Ballard Beavers? All had winless seasons... Or is there a team that stunk it up worse while still nabbing a win?

At least they made it to the NBBA. More than I can say I've done.

Ditto.
