Metta World Peace finishes the job

The Palace at Auburn Hills is imploded.

I’ll never forgive him. He ruined what could have been a championship team.

Those idiots would have never held it together for a title run.

Reggie once said that if that didn't happen, something else would have.

You got that right. It was very sad to see him win a championship with the Lakers.

They were the best team in the NBA that year.

Debatable and see 13th mans post above. That group was wild and they fed off each other.

Or Tinsley or Jackson or Johnson or O'Neal.

Tinsley and Jackson were part of the 3 am Club Rio horseshit in '06 where Jackson fired shots as part of a fight that started inside and ended up out in the parking lot.

That squad was a powder keg looking for a spark.

IIRC, they were number 1 in defense and top 10 on offense when the brawl happened. They were REALLY good. Best in the league is debatable, but they obviously had some sort of chemistry up to that point.

I tend to agree that they wouldn’t have held it together all the way to a championship, but I believe they would have gotten damn close.

Artest was a loose cannon, but he played that way his entire career and he won a ship in LA.

Young Jermaine O’Neal was a hell of a player.

you'd think it would belong to a Colt, but Reggie Miller owns the "biggest missed tackle in Indianapolis history" title.

They certainly looked like the best club in the league up to that point. But that was only November in a very long NBA season. Who knows how the next 60 plus games would have gone. And assuming the west went the way it did, they would have met the Duncan/Parker/Manu Spurs in the Finals. No small task there.
