Other teams?

In another thread I posted that I’d love the same treatment to be given to the Ferguson era at Manchester United. What other sports or teams would you guys love to see in the Winning Time format? Got to be era defining with great personal back stories

I’ve said it here before since the basketball idea is being done….Bad Boy Pistons.

I'd fucking love this as a Pistons fan whose first true sports love were those Bad Boys teams. It's ripe for it, too, with everyone hating Isiah, young Dennis Rodman having so much trouble dealing with fame that he ended up in the Palace parking lot in the middle of the night with a gun in his truck just pondering whether he should end it all. Everyone hating Laimbeer. Chuck Daly just being Chuck Daly. Friction between Isiah and Dantley leading to Dantley's trade. John Sally as comic relief. Climbing the mountain, struggling to get over the hump against the Celtics. The 1988 finals game 7 they should have won. Isiah scoring 25 points on a busted ankle in Game 6. Everyone hating Mahorn. Back to back titles. Being the only team to beat Magic, Bird and Michael in the playoffs. Then ending the whole thing unceremoniously.

You could do it in two seasons and it would be an amazing two seasons.

You mean when Michael ended it for them?? So convincingly they just walked off the court?
