Why The 96 Seattle Supersonics Would Dominate Todays NBA

In this video we take a look at the Seattle Super Sonics with Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton and Detlef Schrempf. The Sonics of 1996 had one of the best teams of all time which is why to battled the 96 chicago bulls. Now the first reason why the 96 sonics would dominate todays nba would be gary payton. As an old school fan you already know how great gary payton was in the mid 90s. and if we talk about the year 1996 we are talking about gary paytons prime. and if we would place gary into todays nba, he would be even more valuable than back in the days. he always had the perfect ballance of scoring and passing. a guard that could give you 20 points but also 10 assists every game. but just imagine garys defense and trash talking skills in todays game. I am 100 percent sure not everybody would be able to handle this. and also the way payton was able to play with his back to the basket would cause many guards a lot of trouble. The only thing payton would have had to improve would be his 3 point shooting. he was a about 30 percent shooter from downtown, but this is something that he would be able to adjust. all in all i think he would be a beast in a world of sheeps. and the next reason why the 96 sonics would dominate would be shawn kemp. if you hear the name shawn kemp, automatically you think about all those crazy highlights, those increable dunks and all the amazing alleyhoops. but what many people overlook is that kemp was a well rounded basketball player. I mean shootingwise from mid range you wont find many forward that shot the ball better than kemp. Now what qualities are we looking for in a modern day power forward. he should be able to run the floor - check - he should be athletic - check - he should be able to shoot the ball - check (by the way in 96 kemp shot 41 perfecent from down town. Kemp also was a great rim protector and a solid defender and rebounder. So the power forward position would be in good hands with kemp. and with his size he also would be able to play the 5 position if necesary. so kemp would be the perfect power forward for todays game. now lets talk about our secret weapon detlef schrempf. One of the most underated players of the 90s. Before there was dirk nowitzki, there was detlef schrempf. only difference was that schrempf was more of a alrounder. a player that could literally play almost all 5 positions and who would give you 100 percent every night.In todays game you could play him at position3 -5 and cause a lot of damage to the oposing team. being 6,10 schrempf could play the 5 and strech the floor perfectly, since schrempf was a threat from downtown. also his skills to grab a rebound and push the ball would be tough to handle for any tall defender. on any other team schrempf would be the no.2 scoring option but on this sonics team he was the third. and the next reason i have on my list are the role players. no this one here again is a major factor. the sonics had so many great role players, which is also the reason why there were able to beat the bulls 2 times in the 96s finals. lets see they had nate mcmillian, david wingate, hersey hawkins who would avg 15 points per game, and then of course sam perkins. sam perkins would be the starting big in todays nba. 6ft 10 tall, could handle the ball and shoot from outside.. perfect for todays game. And the next reason i have on my list is the team defense. Now I already mentioned the role players the sonics had. but let me tell you this team was loaded with great defenders. gary payton, shawn kemp, nate mcmillian, hersey hawkins, david wingate, vincent askew etc. they would be super tough on todays player, and i am not sure many teams would be able to handle this. and we have to remember payton was the defensive player of the year in 96. do me a favor and check how many point guards won this awar. the sonics had a team that was great on offense and defense. and payton lead the way.
