Spurs pulled Duncan from the draft.

You can't attribute this to coaching or even good drafting though, it was very lucky for them to get the pick and Duncan was the clear #1 that year.

NFL: AFC with all the legit conteders.

NBA: East is a joke.

MLB: Everyone viewed the winner of the AL bracket as the eventually champion.




[/ QUOTE ]

Last year the titles were won by 2 of the 3 "joke" conferences.

I know this. The rest has been good drafting and good GM play. Rasho has been the only truly bad pickup they've had in a while.

I understand this. That's not the point, though.

Already said, but I think the NBA west dominance in the past years has been due to the east's lack of big men. Before Shaq moved to the Heat (can't really even count him now), there wasn't really one standout center in the east. I guess some could count Ben Wallace, but he was one dimensional.

It shows that your premise is flawed. How is that not the point?

You do realize that if the AL turned into all high school teams and then the Devil Rays that the DRays would be by far the biggest favorite to win the World Series every year right?

But would that be the case if you used the Royals?
