But had the ping pong balls just fell the way they were supposed to we could have had a team of Shaq or Alonzo Mourning (92), Penny Hardaway or Chris Webber (93) and Kidd or Grant Hill (94)
I'm pretty sure a team of Alonzo Mourning, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill goes to the finals at least once in the 95, 96, 97 years. After that, Penny and Hill started to fall off with injuries and never really recovered. But imagine those guys battling Malone/ Stockton to get in the finals those years. Only to face the Bulls that ended up 3 peat champs.
But knowing the Mavs it very easily could have been Christian Laettner (92), Shawn Bradley (93), and Glenn Robinson (94).
Have we ever gotten a pick better than where we were supposed to? I was sure we would get screwed on what turned out to be the Lively pick.
