The Over and Back Podcast digs deeper into the longest sub-.500 streaks in NBA history with looks at the Clippers, Warriors and Mavericks historic slides.
Part 2 of our exploration into the longest sub-.500 streaks in NBA history (listen to Part 1).
In this episode, we’ll explore four more of the longest sub .500 streaks in NBA history including not one but TWO twelve-year streaks from the Los Angeles Clippers an unfortunate run of bad luck and bad ownership from the Golden State Warriors and finally, the Dallas Mavericks 10-year slide in the 90s.
Topics on this show include:
- The 1980-1991 Clippers including their move from San Diego, free-agent signee Bill Walton, the Tom Chamber trade, Benoit Benjamin, Elgin Baylor‘s hire as general manager, the oddness surrounding both the Danny Manning and Danny Ferry draft picks and so much more.
- The 1994-2005 Los Angeles Clippers including the infamous Dominique Wilkins trade, a rumored move to Anaheim, hiring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a coach, drafting Michael Olowokandi and finally righting the ship with the acquisitions of Elton Brand, Lamar Odom, Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson.
- The 1995-2006 Golden State Warriors including Chris Cohan becoming the new Warriors owner, trading Chris Webber, the Latrell Sprewell incident, drafting (and trading) Vince Carter and finally getting things (temporarily) on track with the Antawn Jamison, Gilbert Arenas and Jason Richardson core then, well, you know.
- Lastly, the disastrous 1991-2000 Dallas Mavericks featuring one of the NBA’s worst-ever teams, the flood of injuries and suspensions to key players like Brad Davis, Roy Tarpley and Fat Lever, the new Mavericks era featuring Jason Kidd, Jamal Mashburn and Jim Jackson then, of course, the ongoing of that core and the new generation highlighted by Michael Finley, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki.
