. . .it was ever thus. Jerry West and Jabbar and Oscar and Walt Frazier, and Pistol Pete and Dr. J, etc., etc., etc., all got more calls than anybody else.

Also, how many teams before David Stern's era won without a hall of famer. The Celtics won a bazillion titles and they've got their own wing in the hall of fame. The Lakers, same thing. And, i was actually watching as far back as the mid-60's.

Seattle is the last team i can think of without an all time great that won a title, like the Pistons.

That's a long time to reach back in time.
