NBA 2K12: What About the Worst of the Worst?

[johnnyboy8102]

1992-93 Dallas Mavericks

They went 11-71 w/ Derek Harper, Rookie Jimmy Jackson, Rookie Sean Rooks, and Terry Davis leading the way.

They also had Tim Legler and original NBA Jam player Mike Iuzzolino.

Haha.

I dunno. I mean, I guess 40 wins isn't that outrageous given the bottom feeders are capable of getting being an 8th seed with that many wins.

And they were capable of beating "elite/good" teams (Lakers, Heat, and Knicks during the season) when playing at the level they're expected of playing.

Though the 1999 lockout season was just as bad, the Bulls this year were consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of the league averages (28th in ppg) and the 2nd worst record in the NBA (beating out the Clippers). It also didn't help when Will Perdue had the highest paid contract that year.

Wasn't that also the year the Bulls paid Eddie Robinson like 32 mil lol. I actually liked him

Great Thread. My vote: 1998-99 Detroit Pistons. It wasn't so much that they were the worst record-wise, or that they were notably/historically putrid, but they represented the complete dearth of interesting and dynamic players/teams in the NBA during the entire latter half of the 90's and early 2000's...just so generic and vanilla that no one, even the most die-hard 'Stones fan like myself, could ever get excited about them. I mean, they were desparately grasping to try to surround their one player - Grant Hill - with a cast that included a year-from-retirement-Joe Dumars (who already had one foot in the front office at that point), a still-learning Lindsey Hunter and Stackhouse, and then a hilariously overmatched collection of journeymen even the most die-hard NBA fan would have trouble recognizing, including Bison Dele (nee Brian Williams, RIP), Corey Beck, Jud Buechler, Steve Henson, Don "The Chief" Reid, and Mikki Moore...but then, to top it all off, they collected this nucleus of guys-that-you-primarily-remember-from-college that were totally non-descript pros including Christian Laettner, Eric Montross, Loy Vaught, and Charles O'Bannon. Oh, and that year we joined the "draft a high school kid" craze by taking Korleone Young...

The best part was that the team tried desperately to market to fans by forcing Jerome "Junkyard Dog" Williams down your throat as the team's de facto mascot, including "JYD" merchandise and a special, $20 seat section called "the Junkyard", which was even in effect for the playoffs!!!! I actually attended a Pistons-Hawks first-round playoff game for a $20-spot I had in my pocket and sat in the Junkyard. That was as depressing and moribund of a playoff game, in any sport, that I've ever been to. There was more energy in the Oakland County Morgue than there was in the Palace that night.

But I offer that as the Pistons' official selection for the all-crap team, because I distinctly remember playing NBA Live games on the PS1 using that team, and trying desperately to make it semi-interesting by trying to win the 3-point title with Bison Dele...spoiler: I came about 75 3's short of the leader that season....

i wont pay to have some all-time worst nba teams in the game. theyre just a waste of space in the disk. NO WAY
it's so easy to make your team the worst team ever in the nba. get rid of your key players and trade your superstars for a bunch of useless wusses and you have a perfect worst of the worst team. fun to use to maybe upset some great teams but doesnt ring to me. sorry.
