higgins 90’s squad
This is a great team-blend of both offense and defense where you can actually visualize the how’s and why’s of their domination.
You remember the short-lived Run TMC, Don Nelson’s early Warriors squads. A lot of scoring but not much defense, right?
They may have only played together for 2 years but their style of play is what my 90’s squad will emulate offensively.
Please allow me to introduce the new Run TMC…. [with D]
- PG Tim Hardaway
- SG Reggie Miller
- SF Eddie Jones
- PF Clifford Robinson
- C Dikembe Mutombo
Run Tim Hardaway, Reggie Miller, Clifford Robinson
Why wouldn’t I include Mutombo with an initial? He’s just there for his D and boards (blocks #2 & rebounds #21). Why wouldn’t I include Eddie with an initial (he is #32 in 3’s after all)? Well, we’ve got Reggie for the 3’s –and- we mainly need Eddie’s D (steals #31). So now that we’ve established the exponentially upgraded defense, let’s meet the re-vamped unit.
Run -- which one of these guys can’t run? You better hope your frontcourt can keep up the whole game
T – reprises his original role
M – new-and-improved version
C – new-and-improved version
….[with D]
You may or may not rank the revamped Run TMC as #1 for this decade in the draft….but two things to remember:
(1) Don’t underestimate Cliff;
(2) This is a great team-blend of both offense and defense where you can actually visualize the how’s and why’s of their domination.

- Tim reprises his old role (a very good one at that).
- Reggie M is an improvement on the original M.
- And Chris Mullin vs. Cliff isn’t close. Let’s not focus on Cliff’s 6’10” height advantage -- following is the career-rankings-line for one of the most underrated basketball players ever (and he wasn’t even a starter lotta the time). #54 (pts), #167 (rebounds), #214 (assists), #59 (3-pointers), #60 (steals), #47 (blocks).

In addition to having the man himself, you also did a great job putting a complimentary team around him. Stockton brings steady offense, doesn't need shots, and brings the toughness MJ would demand. I like the positional flexibility Majerle adds with Jordan. He's no Pippen but on the wing he and Jordan would be able to harass opponents much the same. Larry Johnson is a nice board man that knows how to play with other great players (like he did at UNLV) while Derrick Coleman brings a lot of talent to the table. He was lazy as all hell and isn't the ideal center, but he had a modern game and would either rise to a championship level with MJ riding his ### or he'd be out of modogg-town within 18 months. Olajuwon, Barkley, Malone, and Robinson would probably give this team some real problems in a match-up, but MJ is MJ. Nice squad my man.
That guy hated Kidd for the rest of his career because of it, but he had to look at that solo bracket on our wall for six months. Even random 'party girls' that would always be around would give him #### about it, and it was funny every. single. time.
