In my last article, I listed out the ten greatest teams that I’d like to see added to NBA 2K12's Greatest Mode. While I was doing my research for the article, I said to myself “Wouldn’t it be fun to play with some of the worst NBA teams of all-time?” It would be a challenge to try to pull off monumental upsets against the all-time great teams, or to rebuild a laughingstock into a contender in Association mode. At the very least, it would allow for the Clippers to have an entry in the Greatest mode. Here are my suggestions for the best of the worst:

99-2000 Chicago Bulls get my vote. Though the 1999 lockout season was just as bad, the Bulls this year were consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of the league averages (28th in ppg) and the 2nd worst record in the NBA (beating out the Clippers).

It also didn't help when Will Perdue had the highest paid contract that year.

2010-2011 Cleveland Cavaliers - I don't care what anyone says to me. One man was removed initially and they went from 60+ wins to just under 20 wins the following season.

2006-2007 Miami Heat - The same can be said for this Miami Heat team. With Wade's injury eliminating him from a bunch of games, I could have gone to a local high school and picked up a squad of 10 to play them and kept the game competitive.

Man the 09-10 Nets were so bad that I remember when they won there 9th and 10th game the announcers were going freaking bonkers like they just won the NBA Championship.

From time to time I've entertained the prospect of using the worst teams ever. And when roster creators re-make entire seasons, I often think "Man, now I can play any team, even the worst ones!" But then, truly, the worst ones are so filled with mediocrity that I lose interest. I thought there would be novelty in running with a team starring Bryant Reeves, Blue Edwards and Greg Anthony, but the effect has been limited in my regard. Maybe it'd help if real players were used (instead of created players) and real jerseys/courts, but I'm not so certain my feelings would be much different.

With all that said, that '03 Cavs team actually has some appealing players. They may have been horrible but Ricky "Get Buckets" Davis was entertaining anyway. He was a fantastic dunker.

2004-2005 Hawks comes to mind
