lol @ all those people who commented on the 12-13 Heat addition like they had to choose one over the other.

LOVE both additions.

Even with Wade in his prime - doing his very best "young" MJ impression in that Finals - with a solid bunch of role players and Shaq still showing dominance inside, the '13 Miami Heat are the best team in that franchise's history.

I better see the '03, '05 or '07 San Antonio Spurs next week or I'm going to be mighty, mighty pissed off. The '07 should be the easiest to re-create but I would prefer '05 Spurs cause Timmy was still close to his very peak, "Big Shot" Bob was still a killer in clutch time (and not using "goonish" tactics), Bruce was the unquestioned best perimeter defender in the NBA, Manu was at his very best and Tony although inconsistent was the fastest, quickest guard in the NBA. Actually, if they don't include that team then I just edit the '98 team (which should be the '99 championship team by now) into the '05 Spurs myself.

I don't understand the people that want a prime Lebron team. Why take up one of the classic team spots for 1 player? Lebron was the only worthwhile player on those teams. I'd rather see one of the Spurs teams with Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker in their prime; KG TWolves, JKidd Nets, Ray Allen Bucks, heck even a Gilbert Arenas Wizards squad.

Excited about prime Udonis Haslem as well



Also hoping they have the darker red/burgandy away heat jerseys as well as the NBA logo on the opposite side of the jersey

Either way you cut it there are going to be teams missing that people would want included. Even if you subtract the 12-13 Heat and replaced them with a Spurs team people could make an argument for one of the Kobe/Gasol Lakers, a prime Lebron Cavs, an early 00s Kings, Ray Allen Bucks, BDiddy Warriors (or Hornets), a Gilbert Arenas Wizards, etc. An argument could certainly be made about whether or not the teams classify as classic but they are fan favorites at the least.

There are just too many teams to chose from and not enough space. They could have added 20 new classic teams and there would still be teams people felt were missing.

I am going to go out on a limb and guarantee that we will get one of the Spurs championship teams as one of the final classic teams and hope it 2003 Spurs.

So my predictions are:
03 Spurs
11 Mavs

However my wild card picks instead of the 11 Mavs are the 00 Pacers(with or without Reggie) or 03 Nets.
