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 an informative look at grander contexts of our league. Here are four teams from rank 60 to 30.
#60 – 2014 Basket Brawlers (Frank Keller-Twigg)

#60 – 2014 Basket Brawlers (Frank Keller-Twigg)
Record: 1-15
Season Weekly
Average: 762
Postseason
Weekly Average: 456
Final Standing:
12th
PG: Kemba Walker
SG: Vince Carter
SF: Ersan Ilysasova
PF: Kenneth Faried
C: Al Horford
-Lowlight: 824-1625 consolation series (seed #12 and #11) loss to Chris in the final weeks of the playoffs for last place and the sacko award.
-Highlight: 821-764 win over Gary in the fourth week to stave off a winless season.
-Overview: It is not only the worst win percentage ever that has this team ranked last all-time. Frank's second campaign also sticks out due to how rudderless this squad was in the post-season. While it has become common for the bottom teams to slim down towards the end of the year, this club took it to the extreme (literally finishing the season with only 14 players) and fell off in spectacular fashion. I hate to bag on my own flesh and blood but this was a half-team bore from an owner paying half-attention, let this ghost be a reminder for the rest of us.

#51 – 2016 TimAin't Duncan (Nick
Coromelas)

Average: 768

Final Standing:
10th
PG: Jrue Holiday
SG: Rodney Hood
SF: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
PF: Greg Monroe

-Lowlight: 676-928 loss to Gus during week five to start the season 0-5.
-Highlight: 962-696 smashing of Nate during week ten in the annual Coromelas Bowl.
-Overview: Nick's first season in the league was a checkered one which lands him here in the rankings. While this group's record and production weren't too bad, they were still a far cry from a playoff caliber organization. There certainly are contextual reasons as to why this team struggled but at the end of the day, below-average numbers beget below-average placements. At least this team put up some fights here and there.
#31 – 2014 NY sKNICKers (Andrew
Baron-Vartian)
Season Weekly
Average: 907
Postseason
Weekly Average: 833
Final Standing:
8th
PG: Brandon Jennings
SG: Evan Turner
SF: Chandler Parsons
PF: Carmelo Anthony
C: Joakim Noah
-Lowlight: 1752-2140 first round playoff series (seed #7 and #2) loss to Gus.
-Highlight: 996-864 win over Michael in week nine to start the season 8-1.
-Overview: Andrew's second campaign of three was his best and places here in the rankings. Justifiably in the middle of the all-time ranks, this team had very high highs and very low lows. Unfortunately for Mr. New York, his team took a step in the wrong direct down the end of the year and despite starting the season so strong, the team finished with medium results. The flashes of quality production were good but not enough to truly separate.

#30 – 2015 Make It Nashty (Danny
Leong)

Final Standing:
3rd
PG: Goran Dragic
SG: Eric Bledsoe
SF: DeMar DeRozan
PF: Dwight Howard
C: Brook Lopez
-Lowlight: 652-1174 loss to Michael in week fifteen, making for four losses in a row.
-Highlight: 1921-1814 first round playoff series (seed #7 and #2) upset victory over Chris.
-Overview: Topping the bottom half of the all-time list, Danny's first season is surprisingly his best completed so far mainly due to what this spunky squad was able to do in the post-season. With an increase of about 150 fantasy points per week over their regular season average, Danny's team turned the heat up enough to pull off one of the most surprising upsets in our league history. While this squad was unable to go any further in those playoffs, that upset still remains Danny's only playoff victory and is a testament to how strongly this group finished.
