Would the best college teams ever beat the Nets?

Anyone can lose to anyone on any given night though the Nets are Horrible.

The nets are only horrible relative to other NBA teams...they would crush anyone else around the world let alone some ****ty college team

I actually think 90-91 unlv would beat the nets once or twice in a 7 game series. Larry Johnson would kill anybody on the nets one on one. Greg Anthony and stacy Augmon were both competent NBA players with depth size and shooting. Tark, even though be wasn't very successful, had coached NBA ball and is a legendary coach who wasn't afraid to innovate

I would say no. College teams aren't deep enough to go 48 minutes with an NBA squad. I'll say this though, it's at least not as much of a joke to question it as much as it is when these topics get brought up in the NFL.

Re: Would the best college teams ever beat the Nets?

To beat the current Nets you need a good/great big man to counter the powerful Brook Lopez and a minimum of weak links. These teams would have a shot to beat the Nets once or twice in a seven game series.

73-74 Bruins: Bill Walton was young and had great quickness. He could give Lopez a rough time. He was also the best passing big ever and totally understood the game. Jamaal Wilkes was a gliding baseline shooter. Marques Johnson was another quick gliding scorer. The other guys on this team were mediocre but did play in the NBA. That is a big key, you can't be totally outclassed when the benches are in play.

68-69 Bruins: Lew Alcindor had his sky-hook and quickness but tended to wear down late in games. Would Lopez' strength and bulk wear him down and out? Sidney Wicks was a powerful scorer. Lucius Allen was a really quick penetrator. Curtis Rowe was another accomplished scorer.

82-83 Cougars: Akeem Olajuwon was one of the most athletic bigs ever and he could easily out-quick Lopez. But would he be overpowered? Clyde Drexler was an ultra-quick wing man but his outside shot was erratic. The rest of the roster was too weak to compete.

59-60 Buckeyes: Jerry Lucas could force Lopez to come out to three point line with his long ball game. But Jerry was only 6-8 and would give up alot of size in that matchup. John Havlicek was a complete player always in motion. Larry Siegfried was a smaller version of Havlicek at the point. This team had high quality but not enough depth to compete most likely.

83-84 Hoyas: Patrick Ewing had his running hook shot and actually played defense back then. He would match up well with Lopez. Reggie Williams could score at the NBA level and David Wingate was a functional NBA defending guard. Again though, not enough depth to really compete.

88-89 Hoyas: Dikembe Mutombo could really play tough low-post defense on Lopez. He had strength and quickness but no real way to attack Lopez' defense. Alonzo Mourning was a powerful rebounder. Charles Smith was a functional NBA big man. Strong up front but they would be out-classed at the wing positions.

So basically, no college team pretty much ever (I agree btw).
