My goodness the point of this post is missed. I still say it's a great example. Like I originally said, it doesn't happen OFTEN but it does happen.
And you’re missing the point that the Kobe/shaq rift was at its peak which most definitely played a major role in the pistons championship win. Throw in the fact that the pistons roster was probably DEEPER, just not as top loaded, and the fact that the early to mid 00s era of the NBA that allowed for a lot of rugged defense, which muddled up games to the point of being unwatchable, and that’s how the pistons won. So basically if hurts and Calvin Ridley publicly feud, while saban picks a side, and the sec officials decide to let our defense hold, grab, and hit bama without calling penalties, then maybe we’d start to get into the same type situation that led to the pistons winning the 04 championship. But then we still aren’t addressing the fact that bama has a much deeper roster than we do, so we’d need a bunch of injuries in tuscaloser to even things up a bit in that department.
