[OC] The 2021 Bucks could end up as only the second team in NBA history (and the first since the 1948 Baltimore Bullets) to win a championships with a roster that only has one player with an All-NBA appearance in their career

Original Content

Below is a table (hopefully sortable, first time I've made a table on Reddit) of the players with All-NBA team appearances from every NBA championship team in league history. As of today, every championship team in NBA history has at least two players with an All-NBA appearance in their career, except the 2021 Bucks and the 1948 Baltimore Bullets. This list includes players that made All-NBA teams later in their career (after the championship season), so it is possible that one of the Bucks active players could end up on an All-NBA team and they would no longer match the 1948 Bullets. Middleton is the most likely candidate for that, as he has just missed out on All-NBA teams in the past. In fact, both Middleton and Brook Lopez ended up in the top 15 in all-NBA votes in years past but missed out based on the position they play.

Its pretty rare for teams to end up in this position anyway, the last team to win a title without already having at least 2 players with an all-NBA appearance was the 2007 Spurs, since Tony Parker (first all-NBA team in 2009) and Manu Ginobili (first All-NBA team in 2008) hadn't quite gotten there yet.

So anyway, here is a few hours of me pulling info from Wikipedia that hopefully makes you go "huh, neat" before you go on with your day:

2020Los Angeles Lakers4Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo
2021Milwaukee Bucks1Giannis Antetokounmpo
2022Golden State Warriors3Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green

Note 1: I'm not really trying to make an argument with this, since players can end up on this list way before or after their primes. Sam Cassell is a good example of this, who makes the list as a bench player for Houston in 94 and 95 in his first two seasons and Boston in 08 in his last season, but made an All-NBA team in 2004. Also teams like the 2011 Mavs are also a good example of how this can be misleading, since they had 3 players (Kidd, Marion, Stojakovic) who were 5+ years past their all-NBA level and one (Chandler) who hadn't gotten there yet. This is just meant as interesting trivia.

Note 2: I included players with only all-NBL (one of the NBA precursor leagues) and all-ABA teams on this list. These players are noted, but these teams also included at least two players with all-NBA appearances so it wouldn't make a lot of difference

Note 3: I manually pulled this information together so its very possible there are mistakes/typos, please let me know if you find any

Before the clock runs out in game 6 of the 2011 nba finals, Dirk heads to the locker room in disbelief and on the verge of tears as he takes in what he just achieved.

First time playing any nba 2k game… I just got 19 but apparently the career mode is gone because they shut the servers down?

MyCAREER

Is that real?? If I want to play a career mode I’d have to drop like 60 euros for the newest one??

What's your favorite disrespectful NBA lyric in rap?

There are countless references to NBA players and teams in rap, but the vast majority of these are complimentary. Dozens of rappers compare themselves to Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, and Steph.

Here's some good examples of complimentary bars over the years.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/706047-21-best-raps-about-nba-players-ever

But sometimes rappers go the other way and use the NBA as a punch line. Kyle Kuzma commented on this last year which caused people to drag up their own examples.

My favorite right now is from One Way Flight by Benny the Butcher feat. Freddie Gibbs.

Freddie claims that: "Hoes get fucked and sent home early just like the Clippers." Which of course references the recent and historic struggles of the LA Clippers in the playoffs.

It's worth noting that this song was released in 2020 before the Clippers had their first Conference Finals appearance in 2021. In which they were not sent home early but were eventually "fucked" by an emerging Phoenix suns team.

What are your personal favorite disrespectful lines?

Vinsanity dunks over 7'2 French dude in the Olympics. This has to be the greatest dunk in the history of sports. Imagine if this were the NBA dunk contest.

Vince is the best!
