The Worst of the Decade: NBA Teams

It's the end of the decade. So it's time for some lists. Today's list is the Worst NBA Teams of the past decade.

11. 01-02 Golden State Warriors, 21-61 - The 01-02 Warriors were essentially a young version of the Wizards. The team wasn't quite sure it knew what Agent Zero was as he only played 24 minutes. Antawn Jamison led the team in everything with Larry Hughes and Jason Richardson not far behind.

10. 03-04 Orlando Magic, 21-61 - It's the "I'm gonna be such an ass and shoot so much that my general manager is going to feel compelled to trade for Steve Francis" Tracy McGrady season. A year after McGrady said "It feels so good to be in the 2nd round" he decided to shoot shoot shoot his team all the way to 21-61.

9. 00-01 Chicago Bulls, 15-67 - This version of the Bulls was just too young to get Ws. They had some solid pieces with Elton Brand (21), Ron Artest (21) and Brad Miller (24) holding down the paint but their point guard was Khalid El Amin (21) or Bryce Drew (26).

8. 03-04 Chicago Bulls, 23-59 - The 03-04 Bulls team picked up more wins than the 00-01 team did but they were a worse team. The Bulls now had Eddy Curry and Jamal Crawford as their "leaders". Kirk Hinrich did provide a little stability but there was nothing to fear from this Bulls team.

7. 05-06 New York Knicks, 23-59 - It's basically the Bulls of 03-04 with Crawford and Curry as the leading scorers except you get to throw in some addition crazy with Stephon Marbury instead of Hinrich and Channing Frye instead of Tyson Chandler. Both teams were very very bad.

6. 02-03 Denver Nuggets, 16-67 - The Nuggets and Cavs were embroiled in the battle for Lebron in 02-03. The Nuggets best player was Marcus Camby and he was not surprisingly injured for the majority of the year. The rest of team was a 20 year old Nene, Juwan Howard, James Posey, and Chris Anderson. Not that bad, but guards didn't exist.

5. 02-03 Cleveland Cavaliers, 16-67 - When you're leading scorer is Ricky Davis, you probably have issues. Outside of Davis the Cavs did have some semi-solid pieces with Big Z in the middle Carlos Boozer having a decent rookie season. Again like the Nuggets, they had no guards.

4. 05-06 Portland Trailblazers, 21-61 - This team was pre-Brandon Roy Portland. It was Zach Randolph's team. he led them in points, in rebounds, and in moments of jackassery. The rest of the team was Maryland (Blake and Dixon) a young Jarrett Jack, and two more high class characters (Sebastian Telfair and Darius Miles). They were terrible.

3. 08-09 Sacramento Kings, 17-65 - Kevin Martin is a solid player, Jason Thompson was a young emerging rookie and John Salmons was nice role player but this Kings team lacked much punch.

2. 04-05 New Orleans Hornets, 18-64 - This team was supposed to be built around Baron Davis and his ability to distribute. Unfortunately he went down with an injury and played just 18 games. Without him the Hornets were left with 19 year old JR Smith, old man PJ Brown, Dan Dickau and Lee Nailon get the majority of the starts. Dan Dickau!

1. 04-05 Atlanta Hawks, 13-69 - The Hawks had the worst record of any team in the decade and they were likely the worst team. Al Harrrington was 24 and led them in scoring. He was followed by Antoine Walker, who was very fat and out of shape. Josh Childress and Josh Smith were 21 and 19 respectively and not really ready to contribute and of course the Hawks had no point guard to run any semblance of offense.

Honorable Mention: 06-07 Boston Celtics 24-58, 07-08 Miami Heat 15-67, 08-09 Washington Wizards, 19-63, 06-07 Memphis Grizzlies, 22-60

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
