Finally, the Clippers can say they allotment added than the Staples Center with the Lakers. All-Star point bouncer Chris Paul gives buyer Donald Sterling the prototypal superstar who is present on a lot of championship teams. I say, most, because John Stockton and Karl Malone never won a ring. And, because these accomplished two decades, there accept been a brace of exceptions to the angle that alone teams with two superstars win titles.
Specifically, three teams accept captured championships in a non-traditional address aural the accomplished decade: the San Antonio Spurs, who won two titles with the Tim Duncan-David Robinson aggregate (1999, 2003), again two added with Duncan, and star-caliber, but not superstar-caliber sidekicks Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker (2005, 2007); Larry Brown's 2002 Detroit Pistons, led by Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Ben Wallace; and a lot of recently, the Dallas Mavericks, who happened to accept the league's a lot of different seven-footer in Dirk Nowitzki, amidst by Jason Kidd, Tyson Chandler, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion, J.J. Barea, a accumulation of players who abridge the term, "team."
Kidd, of course, is one of the greatest point guards in alliance history. But he is 38 years old, smart, crafty, determined, and as always, in amazing shape. But he is still 38 years old ...
And, lest we forget, of the three, alone Dallas is admired as a above bazaar authorization (No.5 in the Nielsen TV ratings). Detroit is No.11 in appointed bazaar breadth (DMA) and San Antonio No. 37. Sacramento, by the way, is No. 20.
