All-Time Highlights (Part 3)

Hi everyone! Welcome to the All-Time Rankings!
I decided to take a look at all of our dynasty teams over the five completed years and rank them based off of how much they produced and how much they won. While I couldn't get in-depth with each and every team, I decided it would be fun to highlight a few and explain why they rank where they do. I hope this is a fun trip down memory lane as well as informative look at grander contexts of our league. Here are four teams from rank 15 to 7.

#15 – 2016 Por Favors (Nathaniel Coromelas)
Record: 9-7
Season Weekly Average: 900
Postseason Weekly Average: 1005
Final Standing: 3rd

PG: Isaiah Thomas
SG: Kyrie Irving
SF: Carmelo Anthony
PF: Draymond Green
C: Kristaps Porzingis

-Lowlight: 2013-2116 second round series (seed #4 and #1) loss to Chris.
-Highlight: 2096-1826 first round series (ssed #4 and #5) win over Brett Lakey.
-Overview: A personal favorite, Nate's fourth season is the 15th best all time because it started off well and the heat turned up in the playoffs. The winning record and season average were good but what ranks this squad so high is the elite postseason production. This team was electric, ranking second in scoring during the playoffs, and ended up being Chris' biggest threat in that tournament. Based off all the evidence, its not outlandish to call this group elite.

#14 – 2015 MAMA Said Knock u out (Rich Mamaradlo)
Record: 11-5
Season Weekly Average: 873
Postseason Weekly Average: 973
Final Standing: 2nd

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Klay Thompson
SF: Gordon Hayward
PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Tim Duncan
-Lowlight: 1899-2350 championship series (seed #4 and #3) loss to Michael.
-Highlight: 1981-1682 second round series (seed #4 and #1) upset victory over Freddy.
-Overview: Rich's only year of postseason noise ranks here for a lot of reasons. The regular season average isn't elite but it got the job done record-wise. Meanwhile, the second rendition of Rich's squad saw a major serge in postseason production that propelled them all the way to the finals. This makes Rich's second campaign extremely rare but the questionably elite production numbers make this the only finals team to rank outside the top 10 all-time.

#10 – 2013 Team Berber (Danny Berber)
Record: 12-5
Season Weekly Average: 955
Postseason Weekly Average: 997
Final Standing: 3rd

PG: Deron Williams
SG: James Harden
SF: Kobe Bryant
PF: Al Horford
C: LeMarcus Aldridge

-Lowlight: 1677-2210 second round series (seed #3 and #2) loss to Tyler.
-Highlight: 2079-1863 first round series (seed #3 and #6) victory over Nate.
-Overview: The highest ranking non-finals team of all-time, Danny Berber's first and only campaign sneaks into our top 10 because of the elite production this team put out all season long. While Mr. Berber's crew couldn't quite top a year when Freddy and Tyler were also doing special things, this roster and overall year deserves a shout out. This was a fantastic collection of names that produced exceptional numbers.

#7 – 2013 Kriskaman you (Freddy Cruz)
Record: 13-4
Season Weekly Average: 943
Postseason Weekly Average: 1057
Final Standing: 2nd

PG: Steph Curry
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Paul Geroge
PF: Josh Smith
C: Tyson Chandler

-Lowlight: 2347-2348 championship series (seed #2 and #1) loss to Tyler.
-Highlight: 2260-1791 second round series (seed #2 and #5) victory over Chris.
-Overview: Freddy's first season ranks seventh all time, as one of the best non-champ teams, because this squad had truly elite production down the stretch and was literally one fantasy point away from being crowned champions. As excruciating as that finals loss was for Freddy, the season as a whole is definitely one to celebrate. With wins galore, many points to score, and a core assembled for that year and more, this team is impossible to ignore.
