Postby Mazzocchi on Wed Jun 29, 2005 4:55 pm

This is to go with my Top 10 Overrated Athletes of all time,
So this is the Top 10 Underrated Sports Teams of all time.

Heres Just Some I'm Picking Out Of My Head, Because I'm So Tired.

1- 1996 Seattle Mariners
-Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr, Alex Rodriguez, Jay Buhner.

2- 1927 Brooklyn Dodgers
-Jackie Robinsons Rookie Year, but the rest of the team was overshadowed

3- Early 90 Buffalo Bills
-4 Time Consecuative Superbowl Losses, But Still A Great Team :(

4- 1997 Cleveland Indians
-Manny Ramirez, Roberto Alomar, Jim Thome, David Justice, and Orel Hershiser. Great Team, Lost To The Yankees In The Series

5- 90s Dallas Mavericks
-Jammal Mashburn, Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd. What could have been...

I'm not a huge follower of any sport not named basketball so it's hard for me to do any kind of Top 5/10 list, but I think the San Antonio Spurs remain somewhat underrated despite their success in the Duncan era.

Though I have to admit I'm not that familiar with them (or the NFL, really), I'd have to agree. To be a runner-up so often is still the mark of a consistently good team.

Buffalo certainly made it easy for the producers of the Simpsons when they'd repeat the episode "Lisa the Greek" with new lines to reflect the current Superbowl teams. On the Season 3 DVD boxset commentary, one of the producers mentions that Lisa's prediction in the episode always turns out to be correct.

yeah, last year's pacers team was so underrated that when the big suspensions came, they thought that the pacers will not win many more games and wont make the playoff....but look at what they have accomplished, they got in to 6 games against the pistons in the 2nd round..

another maybe is the spurs.. some people think that without david robinson, duncan and the team won't win any championship, but look what they've done, they were still able to win one against the defending champions.

1994 Chicago White Sox- The team was in first place and widley considered to be a possible World Series winner when the season ended because of strike. I still remember not being able to believe my White Sox weren't going to get to keep playing. :(

You know what? The 2005 Chicago White Sox won't do much either. The Twins will be on their tail at the end of the year and the Sox will fold.

Holy smokes, I hate the Sox more than any team in the history of baseball.

Yeah, but they're considered one of the most elite franchises in baseball history. I really disagree with you about them being underrated.
